In the Olympic review that nobody needs, Gillespo and I chat about the Paris games, his underwhelming vehicle choice, his parenting model around technology in the home, the relationship between rising tech use, rising mental health issues and rising crime rates, New Zealand producing so many gold medals with such a small population (FYI, the population of California is 7.5 times that of NZ) and yes, the Aussies were spectacular too.

Hi Team. It’s a busy week at Craig Central so today we’re revisiting a really interesting chat I had with Prof. Russell Foster. I’ll be back tomorrow with a new episode. See you then. *Professor Russell Foster (from Oxford University, no less) is one of those rare breeds of high-level academic with an amazing ability to break down the super-sciencey stuff into TYP-Friendly, easy-to-understand-and-apply info and inspo. Yes, I used inspo. You’re welc. Stop it. Among other things, we spoke about circadian rhythms (what they are and why they matter), the neuroscience of sleep, our biological clock vs. the clock on the wall, why alarm clocks are crap, the perils of night shift, poor sleep and dementia, sleep deprivation as torture, the relationship between sleep and cognitive function, biofeedback, why are heart attacks and strokes more prevalent between 6am and midday, how modernity and technology has made us ‘lose touch’ with our biological sat-nav, why we’re crap at sleep, why exposure to early morning light is important and lots (and I mean lots!) more. The Prof’s new book is called ‘Life Time: Your Body Clock and Its Essential Roles in Good Health and Sleep’.

#1696 The Neuroscience Of Sleep - Prof. Russell Foster

"This is what I believe.. but I could be wrong", said no religious leader, politician, health expert, spiritual guru, nutritional zealot or narcissist, ever. The "need to be right" mindset is exhausting, unrealistic and toxic but nonetheless, it's ubiquitous. It's about a few things but mostly, it's about fear. This episode is me thinking out loud about an aspect of human behaviour that fascinates me. It's just my thoughts so, of course, I could be wrong (lol). No, really.

Another one of my amazing (ex) athletes graces the TYP studio today and Renae and I go deep talking about the mental and emotional cost of being an 'obsessed' professional athlete, when emotion is considered weakness, the pros and cons of vulnerability, living on the other side of the world with her NBA basketballer husband (Joe), raising their three little humans in often-trying circumstances, being a 'WAG' who doesn't always fit in, finding identity, purpose and happiness after professional sport, building a new career and lots more. In case you don't know, Renae was one of the world's best netballers for more than a decade, having won international player of the year twice, world championships, Commonwealth Games gold, multiple premierships in the national league, way too many awards and she represented Australia 67 times. Oh, and she also has a Master's Degree in High-Performance Sport. Other than all that, she's a dud. Lol.
