    #36 Why Medical Evidence Doesn't Change Practice - The Engine Light & Duct Tape

    Modern medicine excels at treating sickness, but fails spectacularly at creating health. Even with compelling data proving treatments don't work (or cause harm), medicine often doubles down. Grant and Kayla explore why and unpack the disturbing reality behind common medical interventions: knee surgeries with infinity NNT (number needed to treat), back pain procedures causing more harm than good, and psychiatric medications that barely outperform placebos. Listen and learn why metabolism could hold the key to a different future.

    #34 Is Failing to Prescribe Lifestyle Medicine Malpractice

    We are back for 2026! When your doctor prescribes medication without explaining that lifestyle changes could reverse your condition, is that ethical? Legal? This episode challenges the pharmaceutical-first approach dominating modern medicine. You'll learn why defaulting to drugs for metabolic disease violates medical ethics, how the UK's Montgomery ruling is changing what doctors must disclose, and what "number needed to treat" reveals about your prescriptions.

    #33 Why Telling People What to Do Doesn’t Work: Gareth Holebrook

    In this episode, Grant speaks with Gareth Holebrook, President of North Harbour Tri Club, PREKURE Health Coach, and business coach, about leadership, influence, and why instruction alone rarely creates change. Gareth’s leadership philosophy has been shaped by an unconventional career path. Thirty years ago, he served in the Royal Navy as an engineer, with ambitions to become an engineering officer. After being made redundant in 1984, he went on to work in Japan’s tech sector, where he was exposed to very different approaches to leadership, learning, and performance. Drawing on those experiences, Gareth explains how the techniques he learned in Japan now underpin his work in business coaching and health coaching. At the core is a simple but challenging idea: if you tell people what to do, they’re unlikely to want to do it. Real leadership, and real behaviour change, comes from creating the conditions where people choose change for themselves. A practical conversation about leadership, coaching, and how to move people forward without force.
