Somewhere around 40, a lot of men start having a quiet conversation with themselves. Slower mornings. Less drive. A workout that used to fuel you now flattens you. Somewhere on your phone, a headline says it's your testosterone.It might be. It might also be your weight, your sleep, your stress or your alcohol.Sean Lunn, Faf du Plessis and Dr Michael Mol break the taboo on testosterone. Is andropause real? Who genuinely benefits from TRT, and what does doing it properly look like? Why are teenagers getting hold of it? Sean shares his own experience, the good and the bad.This one is for men, and for the partners who love them.This episode is sponsored by Quinton. It contains paid promotion.

Prof Claudia Gray: Allergies, Gluten, Histamines, Intolerances Explained | EP 20

Season 2 · Episode 20

Wednesday, September 30, 2026 • Duration 56:19

Somewhere right now, someone is paying for a hair strand test to tell them which foods are secretly poisoning them. Meanwhile, the real allergies, the ones that can close an airway, are often under-treated.

Professor Claudia Gray is a paediatrician and allergist, one of only a dozen or so allergists in South Africa. She joins Sean Lunn, Faf du Plessis and Dr Michael Mol to separate the real thing from the noise.

What is the difference between an allergy and an intolerance? Why does cutting foods out sometimes make things worse? What does an allergy test actually tell you? And are you really gluten intolerant?

Rene Naylor: Lessons from the Springboks for everyday life | EP 19

Season 2 · Episode 19

Thursday, September 17, 2026 • Duration 58:02

How does a Springbok survive an international season? The training, the travel, 80 brutal minutes of game time, and then turning up fit and ready again the next week.

Meanwhile someone who plays social touch rugby every second weekend ends up with an injury that takes them out for six weeks.

Rene Naylor has been the Springboks' physiotherapist for close to 17 years, and now consults to Cricket South Africa on high performance. Her job has never been fixing injuries. It has been making sure they do not happen.

Sean Lunn, Faf du Plessis and Dr Michael Mol sit down with her to answer one question: how do you build a body that survives your life?

Rachel Kolisi joins Sean Lunn and Dr Michael Mol to talk about the losses rather than the wins. You did the fast. You did the training programme, the proper one, three times a week for twelve weeks. You did the meal plan. You did all of it right, and it didn't work.Most plans seldom fail completely. Most plans seldom succeed completely. Something less dramatic is usually happening, and almost nobody talks about it.What she stopped chasing, why she got rid of the scale, what she has learned about training through the seasons where nothing goes to plan, and the framework for what to do when an intervention is not working for you.CHAPTERS0:00 You did everything right and it didn't work4:31 The one thing to stop chasing12:48 Sugar cravings and what was actually driving them14:14 Why bad sleep undoes good training15:36 Do you own a scale?19:40 Living with depression, openly20:28 We are all guaranteed a storm21:26 The non-negotiable hour26:47 The blockers nobody checks32:31 Put down the pink weights35:41 When intermittent fasting stopped working38:51 Change the lever, not the category39:52 Give it twelve weeks before you quit47:20 Health is not a default setting The framework for when it is not working Rachel's one thingTimestamps are approximate.Products & Resources We Use:InBody Scan — Code: MGD5Bare Aminos10% discount: Zenii Hydrogen Water10% discount: Arctic Ape5% discount code: MGD5Iglu Therapy7.5% discount code: FAF5NAKD Eyewear20% discount code: GOOD2030-DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEEMore Good Days:Join the Community:Subscribe for more conversations around health, longevity, performance, and living better for longer.Newsletter:Medical Disclaimer:This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Peptides & GLP-1s: What Actually Works & Why | EP 15

Season 2 · Episode 15

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 • Duration 01:14:52

In EP 15 we joined with James Raaff, a certified Integrative Clinician with 27 years experience. He brings exceptional expertise in Advanced Translational Genomics and Healthy Longevity Medicine, accredited by the Longevity Education Hub and the ACCME (USA).

Peptides are one of the biggest trends in health right now. But here's the question almost nobody is asking...
What if the same peptide that transforms one person's health could be completely wrong for someone else? This isn't another conversation about miracle injections or quick fixes. It's an evidence-based discussion about why your genetics, biomarkers, lifestyle and health history determine whether a peptide helps you, does nothing or could even put you at risk.

The Alcohol Episode We Didn't Want To Do | EP14

Season 2 · Episode 14

Wednesday, July 8, 2026 • Duration 58:37

Alcohol is woven into South African culture. The braai, the wine farm, the post-match beer. This is the episode we did not want to do, because we are not here to ruin the fun. We are here to give you the information so you can make smarter choices and have more good days.

In this episode (which we didn't want to do) Sean Lunn, Faf du Plessis and Dr Michael Mol get honest about what alcohol could actually be doing to your body, your sleep, your performance and your fat loss. No fear-mongering. No preaching. Just the biology, so you can decide how and when you drink with your eyes wide open.

We get into why the "safe" dose could be far smaller than anyone told you, why one drink the night before could quietly cost an athlete their edge, why you wake up wired at 3am, the truth behind the red wine myth, what beer could be doing to your hormones, and a simple framework for drinking smarter when you do choose to drink.

The goal was never to be the person who ruins the Friday night braai. The goal is to be the person still at the braai at 80.

EP 13 Perimenopause: What Every Woman Needs to Know About HRT and Hormone Health

Episode 14

Wednesday, June 24, 2026 • Duration 54:06

Perimenopause can begin years before menopause—but many women don't realize what's happening to their bodies. In this episode, specialist gynecologist Dr. Natalia Novikova breaks down the science of perimenopause, menopause, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), helping separate evidence-based medicine from decades of fear and misinformation.

We explore how the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study changed public perception of HRT, why many women were left afraid of hormone therapy, and what newer research tells us today about risks, benefits, and individualized treatment. Dr. Novikova explains why perimenopause can start 7–15 years before menopause, the hormonal changes driving symptoms, and why blood tests often fail to provide clear answers.
She also discusses the most common symptoms women experience and how lifestyle factors—including exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and weight management—form the foundation of treatment.

The conversation covers: What perimenopause really is
Early signs and symptoms to watch for
Why hormone levels fluctuate during perimenopause
The truth about HRT risks and breast cancer
Relative risk vs. absolute risk explained
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone therapy
Transdermal estrogen and safer treatment approaches
Bioidentical vs. compounded hormones
Why testosterone injections can be problematic
Monitoring and follow-up during hormone therapy
Options for women with a history of breast cancer
How to find the right specialist and personalized treatment plan

If you're struggling with symptoms or looking for evidence-based information about perimenopause and hormone therapy, this episode provides practical guidance and expert insights to help you make informed decisions about your health.

EP12 We Tested the Most Popular Biohacks. Here’s What’s Real.

Episode 13

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 • Duration 54:13

In this episode of More Good Days, the hosts break down one of the biggest questions in modern wellness:
Which biohacks are actually backed by science — and which are just expensive marketing? From hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and red light therapy to PEMF mats, grounding, saunas, cold plunges, methylene blue, and the so-called “Royal Flush” stack, this conversation explores where the evidence is strong, where it’s weak, and where the hype has gotten out of control.

The episode covers: How HBOT works and where it’s medically proven
The Israeli longevity study on telomeres and oxygen therapy
Why elite athletes may be underusing HBOT Red light therapy for recovery, inflammation, and skin health
Whether cognitive and brain-health claims actually hold up PEMF mats, grounding, and the problem with vague “military tech” marketing
Why sauna and cold plunges may have the strongest longevity evidence
Free alternatives like breathework, sunlight, exercise, and beach grounding
Why foundations like sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress still matter most

The hosts also share personal protocols, stacking strategies, and hard-earned lessons from years of experimenting with wellness trends — while challenging the idea that every expensive device is worth your money. If you’ve ever wondered whether modern biohacking is science, placebo, or pure hype, this episode is for you.
