In this episode Matt is joined by Dr. Tony Banerjee, founder of HarleyDoc, and our medical partner at Evolution, to give an honest, evidence-based breakdown of one of the most talked-about interventions in health right now - GLP-1 medications.

They discuss why these drugs were developed, the critical difference between clinical and cosmetic use, and why muscle loss, not weight loss, is the metric most people on GLP-1s should be worried about.

They also tackle the NHS's controversial plans to prescribe them at scale, the psychology of dependency, the peptide black market, and why without training, nutrition and medical oversight, the results won't last.

Matt and Tony also discuss the cognitive and psychological side of health, why mental clarity and emotional wellbeing are just as important as what's happening physically, and how body image, self-worth and unrealistic expectations are quietly driving some of the biggest health challenges we see today.

If you want to understand what a genuinely holistic approach to your health looks like in 2026 — this is essential listening.
