This week Alberto sat down with Dr Mark Jinks, a leading longevity and performance medicine doctor working at the intersection of modern science and preventative health.

With a background spanning the NHS, sports medicine, and functional medicine, Mark explains why traditional healthcare focuses too late on disease, and how longevity is really about extending healthspan, not just lifespan. They explore how energy, cognition, hormones, nutrition, sleep, movement, and recovery all interact, and why small daily choices compound into radically different outcomes over time.

Mark breaks down complex concepts like inflammation, insulin resistance, muscle loss, NAD, and biohacking into practical ideas anyone can understand and apply, without needing extreme protocols or expensive interventions. This conversation reframes health as a long term strategy, not a reaction to problems, and shows how to build a body and mind that stay strong, capable, and resilient for decades.

You will learn

• Why longevity is about quality of life, not just living longer
• The early signs your health is declining long before disease appears
• How muscle, sleep, and insulin sensitivity predict long term outcomes
• What high performers do differently to protect energy and focus
• Which supplements matter, and which are mostly noise
• How to approach biohacking safely and intelligently
• Why prevention always beats treatment

This week Alberto sat down with Dr Rachel Gow, leading nutritional neuroscientist, researcher, author, and founder of Nutritious Minds Trust.

Dr Rachel explains why we have been taught to think about food only in terms of weight, calories, or appearance, while completely ignoring its impact on the brain, mood, focus, and emotional regulation.

Drawing from decades of clinical research and personal experience as a mother, she reveals how what we eat directly shapes neurotransmitters, brain structure, inflammation, and long term mental health.

They explore how ultra processed foods, sugar, alcohol, and nutrient deficiencies quietly impair attention, motivation, emotional stability, and resilience, and why many mental health conversations ignore the biological foundations of the brain.

This conversation bridges neuroscience, nutrition, psychology, and real life application, offering simple but powerful ways to support brain health at any stage of life.

You will learn

• How food directly affects dopamine, serotonin, and emotional regulation
• Why omega three fats are essential for memory, focus, and mood
• How sugar and alcohol hijack the brain’s reward system
• The connection between gut health and mental health
• Simple nutrition principles that support long term brain resilience

This episode is a practical guide to understanding your brain, feeding it properly, and protecting it for life.

This week Alberto sat down with Vinny Raval, one of the UKs leading speech coaches whose work blends acting, speech and language therapy, and over fifteen years in the field with deep experience coaching CEOs, founders, actors, politicians, and senior executives.

Vinny transforms the way people communicate by teaching them what to say, how to say it, and how to say it with confidence, clarity, and impact.

In this conversation Vinny breaks down the real reasons so many people struggle to express themselves at home and at work, why we speak too fast, why we do not finish sentences, why we listen to respond instead of listening to understand, and why our tone and body language matter more than the actual words we use.

We explore the science behind intonation, pace, pauses, and clarity, how to use storytelling and vocal range to influence others, how to manage nerves before speaking, how to improve your voice at any age, and how small daily exercises can radically transform the way you are perceived.

For the first time Vinny also shares the emotional story of his childhood, his complicated relationship with his father, how he used pain and adversity to become the leading coach he is today, and why communication cannot be mastered unless you understand the emotions driving your voice.

You will learn:

• How to slow down, speak clearly, and hold attention

• How to use intonation to influence emotion and meaning

• How to control nerves and fear when speaking

• How to practise speech daily in less than three minutes

• How to build confidence in any room, with any audience

This episode will change the way you communicate and the way others listen.
