Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood - 'once called the disease of Kings' because only rich people got it - and over the last decade or two, new cases have exploded across all social, cultural and financial demographics (so not just rich people). Historically, it was believed that gout was caused by eating too much red meat, seafood and dairy but of course, Gillespo is here to dispel that thinking and talk about the real culprit. Sugar, of course.

"What's the worst thing that can happen" is a question l've asked myself repeatedly over the years and many times it's been the single strategy that got me to say yes to things I needed to, which were often also the things that scared the metaphoric sh*t out of me. Believing that I could survive the worst-case scenario is often what got me to take a first step. Apart from that question, Dr. Jodi and I also chat about the power of delaying gratification, intelligence vs. knowledge, people who have zero fear because they have a 'broken' amygdala, the lifelong influence of our favourite school teacher, parents passing down their dysfunctional behaviours and habits to their kids and lots more. Enjoy.

That title is not even a joke. Tammy Van Wisse actually lost 10kgs in 9 hours (and 6 minutes), swimming forty kilometres in the extremely cold water of Loch Ness, while trying not to get eaten by a f**king monster. This was Tammy's second visit to TYP and this chat was a truly fascinating insight into weirdness and wonder of marathon swimming at the highest jevel, from a practical, psychological and physiological perspective. Learn about Tammy's encounters with Tiger and Brown snakes while swimming the 2,438 kilometres of the Murray River (WTF!), the time she almost got eaten by a great white shark (for real), the buoyancy difference between fresh and salt water, the process of 'getting fat' for endurance events and the science behind it, the time her brother John 'kind of' died swimming the English Channel with her (and the Aussie Olympic legend who dived in to save him) and lots more. Enjoy.
