Everyone wants more energy, a stronger body and a longer healthy life, but the advice keeps changing. Since 2011 Brian Rose has asked athletes, doctors, coaches and biohackers what actually works for them. These conversations cover strength and movement, vegan and carnivore diets, fasting, breathwork and cold exposure, longevity and mental health. The guests often disagree, and that is the point. Their views are their own, not medical advice. Every full interview is free to watch.
From five-time CrossFit Games champion Mat Fraser and the Iceman Wim Hof to Bulletproof founder Dave Asprey, How Not To Die author Dr Michael Greger, carnivore diet advocate Dr Shawn Baker, ultra-endurance athlete Rich Roll and movement coach Ido Portal: how to train, eat and recover.
Mat Fraser explains the work ethic that made him the fittest man on the planet. Physical therapist Jeff Cavaliere, founder of ATHLEAN-X, argues for using science to train smarter. Ido Portal, who has appeared on London Real many times, makes the case that movement is about far more than the gym. Kelly Starrett covers mobility and performance, Ben Patrick, the Knees Over Toes Guy, explains how he rebuilt his knees, and Steve Maxwell shares how he stays strong into later life. A compilation episode brings together David Goggins, Dorian Yates, Eddie Hall and Ross Edgley on pushing past your limits.
Few subjects divide London Real guests more. Dr Michael Greger and Dr Neal Barnard argue that a whole-food, plant-based diet can prevent much chronic disease. Dr Shawn Baker, an orthopaedic surgeon, says eating only meat made him mentally and physically stronger. Freerunner Tim Shieff explains why he stopped being vegan, while John Joseph helped Brian Rose train for an Ironman on plants in IRONMIND. Eric Edmeades argues that modern diets drive conditions such as type 2 diabetes, and Joe Cross tells how juicing changed his health.
Wim Hof explains the breathing and cold-exposure method he says can strengthen the body and calm the mind. Patrick McKeown, author of The Oxygen Advantage, argues that most of us breathe the wrong way. Dave Asprey, who has appeared on London Real four times since 2013, shares the biohacks he uses for more energy with less effort. Brian Rose talks openly about how he stopped drinking, and Johann Hari looks at depression and connection. For more on the mind, see our Mental Health interviews.
