You asked. Jonty Rhodes and Dr Marcus Ranney answered.

In this special 12th Man edition of Jonty & The Doc, we hand the conversation over to the audience for an Ask Me Anything covering everything from nutrition and strength to sleep, supplements, ageing — and, naturally, a little cricket.

What order should you eat the food on your plate? Is strength or coordination more important for longevity? Can you outrun a bad diet? Which health metrics are actually worth tracking? And what does Jonty look for when judging the fittest players in cricket?

In this episode:
Does the order in which you eat your food actually matter?
• How to reduce the glucose impact of a carb-heavy meal
• Strength vs coordination for longevity
• Why muscle matters far beyond aesthetics
• The biggest fitness and longevity myths Jonty and Marcus want people to stop believing
• Why you can’t “outrun a bad diet”
• What Marcus thinks about Urolithin A and new longevity supplements
• How Jonty’s relationship with competition has changed with age
• Why Jonty now focuses on process rather than performance
• The health metrics Jonty actually tracks
• Why Marcus wishes we could track brain health more effectively
• How their sleeping habits have evolved
• Marcus’s 3–2–1 rule for better sleep
• What “fitness” actually means inside an IPL team
• The fielders who have impressed Jonty most over the years

It’s a slightly different Jonty & The Doc — driven entirely by the questions you want answered.

And if there’s something you want Jonty and Marcus to tackle in the next 12th Man, leave your question in the comments.
