The You Project

In this special listener Q & A episode, resident anti-aging guru Dr. Jeff answers real-world questions about pain, injury, ageing, and longevity. A spine fellowship-trained neurological surgeon and regenerative stem cell medicine specialist, Dr. Gross draws on decades of clinical experience treating athletic and degenerative injuries of the spine, hips, knees, shoulders, and more. We explore stem cells, biohacking, precision medicine, and conservative, non-surgical approaches to improving health-span - cutting through hype to focus on what actually works, what's promising, and what people should be cautious about. Clear, grounded, and clinically informed, this episode is a practical deep-dive into modern regenerative medicine - answered directly, honestly, and without fluff.

Moheb Costandi is a neuroscientist turned science writer who spends his life exploring one of the biggest mysteries we all live inside - the human brain. He's written for Nature, Science, New Scientist, Scientific American (all a big deal in Academia) and The Guardian, and he's the author of books like Neuroplasticity, '50 Human Brain Ideas You Really Need to Know' and 'Body Am I’, which look at how the brain builds our sense of self, identity, and reality. Moheb has a gift for taking complex neuroscience and turning it into stories that actually make sense - stories about why we feel the way we do, why change is so hard, and how our brains quietly shape our entire experience of being human.

This time on TYP, I'm joined by James Gillespie (little Gillespo), founder of Cleanbill, to unpack what is really happening in Australian healthcare, and why so many of us are feeling the pinch at the GP. James walks us through Cleanbill's latest Blue Report, a data-driven snapshot of what patients actually experience when they try to book a doctor: who's still bulk-billing, what states are doing it more, how much people are paying out of pocket, and how access varies wildly depending on where you live. Overall, it's pretty good news and it seems that James and the Cleanbill team are moving the needle in the right direction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I never know because l'll never be a dad (excluding an in-bound Golden Retriever), but I’m pretty sure I might suck at parenting. It seems super hard. Unlike like some other non-parents, l've always thought it's probably the toughest role an adult can have. This time on TYP, Child Therapist Dr. Sam Casey and I talk about the challenges of being a single parent from a theoretical, research and academic perspective, and also from the perspective of someone living it in real life - which Dr. Sam is. Until this chat, I hadn't really considered the amount of intersecting variables - psychological, emotional, physical, social, financial, legal, practical, geographic - that impact kids and families, moving from a married situation to a "two parents in different homes" situation.

You know when you get immersed in a conversation with someone and the times flies? Well, that was my experience of this chat with Bobby. We covered a lot of ground and when I checked the time, our twenty-minute chat (so I thought), was almost an hour. We chatted about the "theory" of beauty ("it doesn't matter") and the real-world reality of it ("it matters"). We also talked about the need we humans have for gaining the approval of others - often from people who don't even care about us, our respective stories (Bobby and l) about not being "overly attractive" children, how confidence works, redundant and repetitive conversations (and how to avoid them), muffin guilt and lots more.
