Summary

Welcome to the very first episode of a brand new format - something a little more relaxed, more personal, and more conversational. Think of this as us sitting on the couch or going for a long walk together. No script. No structure. Just your questions, and my honest thoughts. In this episode, I answer your voice notes and DMs - covering: Intro (00:00) How Can New Fathers Balance Fitness and Diet with a Busy Life? (02:20) What Are the Risks and Benefits of Methylene Blue? (12:20) What Are the Biggest Nutrition Myths Still Believed in 2025? (16:59) Why Do Some Plant-Based Eaters Still Have High Cholesterol? (19:52) What Are the Best Alternatives to Statins for Lowering APOB? (23:32) What Health Habits Does Simon Hill Personally Struggle With? (32:41) Are Refined Carbohydrates Like Pasta and White Rice Actually Bad for You? (34:09) What’s the Future of Personalised Nutrition? (40:16) What’s the Most Embarrassing Travel Story Simon Has Shared? (44:33) What Does “Bogan” Mean in Australian Slang? (47:49) How Much Omega-3 Do You Really Need Daily? (50:06) Does Creatine Supplementation Harm Your Kidneys? (56:10) What’s the Perfect Meal for Human and Planetary Health? (01:00:31) Can the Power of Belief Affect Your Health Outcomes? (01:03:05) What’s the Funniest Listener Question and Final Thoughts? (01:04:11) Some serious, some silly - but all of it real. I hope you enjoy this new format, and as always, I’d love your feedback.
