In today’s conversation Dr. Greg explores the decision he and his sixteen-year-old daughter Ingrid made to attempt seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. He shares how persistent injuries led them to stop, recover, and rebuild their health from the ground up before they were ready to begin endurance training again. The episode traces the project from a series of small rehabilitation sessions to a potential Guinness World Record attempt, while introducing the Great World Race as a living exploration of human physiology, adaptation, and possibility. The event is scheduled for November 15–21, 2026, beginning at Wolf’s Fang in Antarctica and finishing in Miami.

In today’s conversation Dr. Greg Wells shares the core ideas behind Rest, Refocus, Recharge and explains why true performance is built on cycles of stress and recovery rather than nonstop output. He shows how rest, reflection, focus, creativity, and flow are linked to different physiological and cognitive states, and why learning to move between them is essential in a high-pressure world. The masterclass blends neuroscience, physiology, and practical routines to help listeners recover deliberately, think more clearly, and perform with greater consistency. At its heart, this is a guide to slowing down strategically so you can speed up where it matters most.

You will learn how deliberate recovery improves mental and physical performance, why sleep is foundational for health, learning, and emotional regulation, how reflection and metacognition sharpen decision-making, how mindfulness and movement improve focus and attention, and why creativity and flow emerge more easily when tension gives way to recovery. You will also learn how different brainwave states relate to recovery, learning, concentration, ideation, and extraordinary performance, and how small, repeatable rituals can help you access those states more consistently.

You will discover that recovery is not a break from performance. Recovery is part of performance. When you deliberately create space for sleep, reflection, movement, and renewal, you give your brain and body the conditions they need to grow stronger, think more clearly, and perform at a higher level.

This masterclass helps solve the challenge of feeling chronically busy, mentally overloaded, and physically depleted while still wanting to do meaningful work at a high level. Dr. Wells gives the listener a practical framework for escaping reactive busyness and replacing it with deliberate recovery, better focus, and healthier, more sustainable performance.

Chris Bailey is trying to solve the gap between setting goals and actually following through on them. In this episode, we dig into helping you to stop relying on vague motivation or willpower and instead align your goals, priorities, and daily actions with what matters most to you.

In today’s conversation Chris Bailey explores why intention is deeper than goal setting and why follow-through depends on aligning daily actions with values and priorities. He and Dr. Wells unpack Bailey’s “intention stack,” the science of human values, and the hidden role of aversion in procrastination. They also examine how people can redesign goals so they feel more meaningful, attractive, and realistic. The conversation ultimately turns productivity into something more human: a way of acting with purpose instead of simply doing more.

You will learn how Chris defines intention, how values quietly shape motivation and follow-through, why priorities sit between values and goals, how procrastination is often driven by aversion rather than laziness, and why time awareness is one of the most practical tools for becoming more intentional. You will also hear a simple daily practice he uses himself: setting three clear intentions for the day before the noise begins.

You will discover that a goal is not just a wish or an ambition. In Bailey’s framing, it is a prediction about where your current and planned actions will take you, which means better follow-through depends on designing those actions far more carefully.

This episode helps solve the challenge of knowing what you want but repeatedly failing to act on it. Bailey gives listeners a framework for making goals more doable by connecting them to values, reducing aversion, and translating them into concrete daily intentions.

Key take aways:

Goals fail when they clash with values.

Priorities connect values to goals.

Aversion drives procrastination.

Time awareness creates better action.

Three daily intentions sharpen focus.

Dr. Mitchell is trying to solve the problem that most people know what healthy behaviors are, but struggle to start and sustain them in real life. His work focuses on using behavioral science, digital health tools, and practical design strategies to help people make small, realistic changes that last and improve health at scale.

In today’s conversation Alex Hutchinson explores the mind-body relationship at the heart of endurance, effort, and human performance. He and Dr. Wells unpack how the brain interprets fatigue, why self-talk changes perceived effort, and how challenge can become a source of meaning rather than something to avoid. They also discuss adventure, curiosity, and the science of exploration, bringing the conversation back to a practical truth: consistent movement and a healthy relationship with effort are foundational for a better life.

In today’s conversation Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng explores how an ICU “aha moment” and the pandemic reshaped his mission toward prevention over prescription—keeping people healthier and out of acute care. He unpacks his PRESS Method™ (Purpose, Restoration, Eating, Strength, Social connection) and explains how to identify your personal “kryptonite” so you can plan around it instead of relying on willpower. Together, he and Dr. Greg discuss why consistency beats intensity, and why strength, protein, and community are foundational for healthspan and resilience.

This episode helps solve the challenge of feeling overwhelmed by health advice by showing you how to pick the highest-impact habits (80/20) and apply them in a way you can actually maintain—without perfection.

Jake Ernst is focused on solving a modern, high-stakes problem: technology and algorithm-driven platforms are replacing real human attachment and co-regulation, contributing to distraction, distress, and disconnection—especially for kids and teens, but increasingly for adults too.

In today’s conversation Jake Ernst explores how modern tech is reshaping our brains, relationships, and family life—and why many parents are effectively “co-parenting with the internet.” He breaks down the rising pattern of distraction, distress, and disconnection, and explains how screen-mediated communication can undermine the social and emotional signals we need to feel truly connected. Jake and Dr. Greg then pivot to solutions: digital hygiene, restoring face-to-face connection, and helping kids build the real-world skills that screens can quietly erode.

Dr. Scott Forbes is trying to cut through the hype and misinformation around creatine so listeners can understand what creatine actually is, what it truly does (and doesn’t do), and how to use it safely and effectively for performance, brain health, and healthy aging.

In today’s conversation Dr. Forbes explores why creatine has become one of the most talked-about supplements—and how to separate real science from social-media noise. He explains what creatine is (and why it’s not a steroid), how it supports short-duration high-intensity performance, and what the research says about strength, muscle, endurance “bursts,” and recovery. Scott also dives into emerging findings on brain energy demands—especially under stressors like sleep deprivation and mental fatigue—and why creatine may matter more as we age.

You will learn how creatine works in the body’s energy systems, what benefits are realistic (small but meaningful), and how those gains can compound over time. You’ll also learn practical dosing strategies (loading vs. steady daily use), why creatine monohydrate is the best-studied form, how timing fits into the routine, plus the science behind common concerns like hair loss and kidney markers.

You will discover that creatine’s biggest strength is “quiet consistency”: it can modestly expand rapid-energy capacity and help maintain performance during physical or mental stress—without needing complicated protocols.

Scott helps solve the challenge of making a confident, evidence-based decision about whether creatine belongs in your routine—without fear, myths, or marketing-driven confusion.

Dr. Elaine Chin is trying to solve the problem of people aging into chronic inflammation, fatigue, and disease because they are surrounded by confusing wellness advice and are guessing instead of using a science-based, personalized approach to healthspan. In this episode, she frames the answer as precision medicine built on measurable biology and consistent daily habits.

In today’s conversation Elaine Chin explores how precision medicine and lifestyle medicine can work together to improve healthspan and lifespan. She and Dr. Wells discuss telomeres, inflammation, Mediterranean-style eating, hydration, movement, recovery, and the role of purpose in healthy aging. The conversation stays grounded in practical decisions people can make every day while also emphasizing the value of understanding biomarkers and hormones. Overall, this episode helps listeners cut through health misinformation and return to a more evidence-informed foundation for wellbeing.

You will learn how Dr. Chin thinks about lifestyle medicine as an “orchestra” that requires sleep, nutrition, movement, mindfulness, and social wellbeing to work together. You will also hear her explain why she pays close attention to telomeres, chronic inflammation, hydration, ultra-processed foods, omega-3 fats, and biomarker testing. The episode also clarifies the difference between exercise and general activity, and why small daily habits can shape long-term health more than extreme interventions.

You will discover that many of the most powerful longevity tools are still the fundamentals: sleep, purpose, movement, hydration, and food quality. Dr. Chin’s core insight is that these are not just “healthy habits”; they are biological signals that shape inflammation, recovery, and the pace of aging.

This episode helps solve the challenge of not knowing where to start with health and longevity when the wellness space feels noisy, extreme, and contradictory. Dr. Chin brings the listener back to a simpler model: understand your biology, focus on the basics, and use data to guide smarter decisions.

Key take aways:

Lifestyle medicine works best in combination.

Telomeres reflect the wear of aging.

Ultra-processed foods drive inflammation.

Movement all day matters.

Know your biology before guessing.

Dr. Kang is tackling a modern, high-impact problem: our relationship with technology (and “perma-crisis” busyness) is driving stress, disconnection, and attention fragmentation—especially in kids and teens—unless we build a healthier “tech diet” and lifestyle that restores regulation, connection, and play.

In today’s conversation Dr. Shimi Kang explores how brain science can help us thrive in a world shaped by stress, constant change, and persuasive technology. She shares her origin story—from early fascination with the brain to work with the World Health Organization—and explains why mind and body are inseparable in real life. Together, Dr. Kang and Dr. Wells unpack the “tech diet” (toxic, junk, and healthy tech), why kids are uniquely vulnerable, and how simple daily practices—movement, connection, downtime, and music—restore brain health and motivation.
