| #90 Darryl Edwards - Functional Ageing: How to Stay Strong, Capable and Vital for Life | 12 Aug 2026 | 01:03:46 | |
Can movement extend healthspan? How can we age well? Can we remain strong, capable, and independent throughout later life? Darryl Edwards is an internationally renowned speaker, movement coach, author, and founder of the Primal Play Method®. His evidence-based approach combines exercise physiology, evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, and play psychology to make movement enjoyable, effective, and sustainable. In this episode, we explore the science of functional ageing and the practical strategies that help people maintain strength, mobility, balance, and independence across the lifespan. We discuss: • Can movement extend healthspan? • Functional ageing, why preserving strength, mobility, balance, and independence matters as much as longevity. • How to build physical resilience and reduce the risk of falls, frailty, and age-related muscle loss. • The power of “playspan”, staying physically capable of playing with children, grandchildren, and continuing to enjoy an active life. • Movement as medicine, including insights from Darryl’s work with people living with cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease, and how playful movement can improve adherence and quality of life.

| #89 Dr Boon Lim - Heart Rate Variability Explained: A Cardiologist's Guide to HRV, Stress and Recovery | 28 Jul 2026 | 01:04:28 | |
Can heart rate variability actually predict illness before you feel it? What makes HRV rise or fall from day to day, and how should you use it? Dr Boon Lim is a consultant cardiologist and electrophysiologist at Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, and one of the UK's leading specialists in atrial fibrillation and the autonomic nervous system. In this episode we go deep on heart rate variability: what it really measures, what shifts it, when it is useful, and crucially when it is misleading.
Chapters 0:00 Introduction 0:30 Can HRV improve healthspan or reduce disease risk? 1:20 What heart rate variability actually is 2:31 The autonomic nervous system, your body's control room 3:40 Why you cannot think your heart rate up, but you can feel it up 4:03 Yin and yang: sympathetic and parasympathetic balance 4:52 Provoking ectopic beats with mental arithmetic in the cath lab 6:54 Does your resting heart rate determine your HRV? 8:57 Why athletes score higher, and why wearables measure overnight 9:55 What alcohol does to HRV, and how fast you recover 10:58 HRV as an early warning system, days before symptoms 12:32 The stressors nobody counts: emotion, purpose, security, trauma 14:12 HRV in IBS, fatigue and brain fog 14:46 Should you train on a low HRV day? 17:07 Track trends, not days 17:40 Why you should never compare your HRV to anyone else's 18:32 From 38 to 53: Boon's own HRV over eighteen months 19:08 HRV and ageing 20:17 Hormones, the menstrual cycle and HRV 22:33 The standardised two-minute autonomic assessment 23:20 Resonant frequency and the six-second breath 25:11 HRV as a treatment, not just a measurement 26:27 Building coherent breathing into an ordinary day 28:47 Breathing for anxiety and emotional regulation 29:47 The heart as a command centre: signals travelling upwards 31:02 Bottom-up physiology meets top-down emotion 32:33 Primary and secondary pain, phantom limbs and the splinter story 37:26 When to measure HRV: the morning protocol 39:22 When HRV is not a useful metric: AF and ectopic beats 42:09 Can a wearable detect undiagnosed atrial fibrillation? 44:14 LIVE DEMO: the 60-second coherence reset 48:18 Reading the coherence graph 49:40 Do you actually need a device? 51:41 When data-driven medicine falls short: the long covid lesson 53:20 ENO Breathe: singing as breath training 54:17 Connection, community and loneliness as autonomic medicine 59:07 Where to find Dr Boon Lim
What we cover Heart rate variability is not a fitness score. It is a window into the autonomic nervous system, the part of you that runs your heartbeat, your gut, your sweat glands and your stress response without ever asking permission. Dr Lim explains why the heart is not a metronome, why two people with identical heart rates can have wildly different HRV, and why your watch does most of its measuring while you sleep. We also get into the stressors most people never count. Alcohol, jet lag and poor sleep are the obvious ones. Job insecurity, unresolved trauma, loneliness and a lack of purpose sit underneath, and they shape your autonomic baseline far more than any single bad night. Then there is the part almost nobody covers: when HRV becomes useless. In atrial fibrillation, HRV goes sky high, but that high HRV is not a good sign. Ectopic beats skew it the same way. Boon explains how to spot this, and how a sudden unexplained jump in HRV on a wearable has flagged undiagnosed AF in his own patients.
A live demonstration: the 60-second autonomic reset Boon takes out a HeartMath Inner Balance sensor and shows coherent breathing in real time, with live biofeedback on screen. You watch his heart rate settle into a smooth sinusoidal wave and his coherence score shoot up in under two minutes. This is the top-down, bottom-up approach he uses in clinic: slow nasal diaphragmatic breathing to send calming signals up from the heart to the brain, paired with a deliberate positive emotion sent down from the brain to the body. Both directions at once. No theory, just a measurable shift you can simply observe in 2 minutes, and hopefully replicate with the tools and techniques shown in the live demonstration.

| #81 Dr Bill Harris - How Omega 3 Could Enhance Your Healthspan And Reduce Your Risk For Disease | 09 Jul 2025 | 01:17:21 | |
Dr Bill Harris is as internationally recognised expert on the omega 3 and heart disease, which make him one of the best people in the world to have this conversation with. Omega 3’s are not often considered on a normal blood panel but I think there is a strong case as to why they should be. There is a reason why many countries across the world recommend multiple servings of oily fish per week and that is primarily due to their omega 3 content. From cardiovascular health, to brain health, to reducing systemic inflammation, omega 3’s at the right dose and levels seem to have a range of potential benefits. Bill kindly humoured my respectful challenge on the omega 3: omega 6 ratio debate. A highly contested topic on the internet today. In this fascinating conversation we touch upon:
I was incredibly lucky that Bill and I had the chance to catch -up at the Integrative and Personalised Medicine congress in London and managed to arrange a date for this recording. I hope you get a lot out of this one because I sure did! SOCIALS Facebook: @Omega3Index Instagram: @OmegaQuant YouTube: @OmegaQuantLab LinkedIn: @OmegaQuant-Analytics Twitter: @OmegaQuant

I discovered Dr. Li over 12 years ago when he did a Ted Talk on the power of food and food extracts on angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and cancer. This was a pivotal moment for me and sparked my passion for nutrition. I honestly, couldn’t get enough of nutrition science from that day forward. I watched every documentary I could get my hands on and read scientific papers alongside my day job - it was a real turning point. This is probably why I was overly excited about meeting Dr Li at a conference in London and where he kindly agreed to come on the show. Dr. William Li is an incredible researcher and content creator and has pioneered the science of food as medicine.
