The You Project

Exercise physiologist, dietitian, entrepreneur, and all-round powerhouse human Kate Save joins me at TYP Central for a totally unexpected conversation (well, the conversation was planned - just not the topic) around the do's and don'ts, whys and why-nots, and hows and how-not-to's of making your body strong, healthy, and functional. This chat is very relevant for the majority of my (typical) listeners. Enjoy.

Dr. David O'Donnell is a ticker-ologist. He's specialises in tickers. The sciencey folk call him a cardiologist and electrophysiologist. Not surprisingly, we had a chat about what us potential patients can do to avoid becoming an actual patient, any time soon. And despite the fact that he's quite a skilled ticker-ologist, he'd rather not see you or me on his (or any) operating table. He's all about being proactive, not reactive and optimising our chances of a long health-span and lifespan by making smart decisions and doing smart things before the metaphoric wheels fall off the medical wagon. This was a revealing, educational and motivating chat (for me anyway) and I hope you enjoy it.

I love all my Gillespo chats but I especially loved this one. I (we) got to peek behind the cognitive curtain and get an insight into how he thinks (and why), how he does his research, why he doesn't want you to trust him, differentiating good science from bad, and how to know the difference between (1) evidence and data and (2) opinion and story dressed up as science. As many of you know, he and I have an ongoing fun p*ss-take (mainly him taking it out of me) but if I'm honest, he has a pretty supersonic analytical brain. Zero emotions... but great Prefrontal Cortex (lol). Enjoy.

Two blokes having a conversation on a podcast about how they individually give and get love. What makes them feel loved, appreciated and deeply connected. And more broadly, how the intended love that we’re sending someone’s way, doesn’t always have the desired effect because quite often, the receiver doesn’t experience love in the way that the giver does. For example, my attempt to be compassionate and loving towards someone who’s going through a challenge could be ‘received’ as unwanted prying - not loving at all. A fascinating topic, drawing inspiration from “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman. Enjoy.

Kelsey Packwood is a Jamaican-American Writer, Director, Producer, & Actor based in Los Angeles, California. Kelsey is the writer and creator of BORDERLINE a half-hour traumedy scripted series based on her lived experience with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I totally enjoyed this insightful, educational and inspirational chat with Kelsey. It was nice a synthesis of stories, science and lived experience, with a young woman who is a great communicator. Enjoy.
