Show Notes
Dr Mark Liponis has a deep curiosity for the human mind and human condition. He was an emergency room doctor, has written some of the most respected books on prevention and longevity and for 17 years he was the medical director at Canyon Ranch, one of the US most highly regarded health resorts.
On this episode, we hear from Dr Liponis what it’s like being a doctor within the current system, and he shares his wisdom on how we can live our “best lives” right now.
His expertise is rooted both in science and in medical practice, seeing patients everyday and learning to understand the realities of human behaviour and positive change.
A hopeful skeptic, he is constantly curious but also looking at the science and the reality of any situation, treatment or cure. He has one foot in allopathic medicine, and one in alternative medicine, and treats them both with equal respect and skepticism.
A man of wholeness, Dr Liponis balances science and practice, prevention and cure, western and alternative thinking, and hope and skepticism. And with huge volume and variety, he is a master in his field and is one of the most complete doctors I have ever met.

Mental health problems are rising across generations, but is the way we treat them actually helping people recover?
What if changing your life didn’t begin with a dramatic overhaul, but with one small decision that made you feel a little more like yourself again? Actress, bestselling author and WillPowders co-founder Davinia Taylor joins John Vincent for a deeply personal, funny and refreshingly honest conversation about food, energy, behaviour and learning how to listen to your body. Davinia shares a period in her life when she simply wasn’t treating herself particularly well. She felt tired, flat and disconnected from the energetic person she remembered being. Then something surprisingly simple happened: she tried a Bulletproof-style coffee with MCT oil and felt a shift. It wasn’t a miraculous transformation. It was the beginning of a cascade. At the heart of the conversation is a wonderfully simple question: how do we eat like human beings again? John and Davinia explore why modern life can leave us disconnected from our bodies, why food should be about more than calories, and why sometimes the most powerful changes begin with something incredibly small.
Tony Brown joins John Vincent to share his extraordinary journey from severe depression and psychiatric hospitalisation to rebuilding his health, relationships and sense of purpose. Tony recalls being sectioned under the Mental Health Act, receiving 17 courses of electroconvulsive therapy and eventually finding his way out of hospital with help from an old school friend.
What if the biggest problem with modern healthcare isn’t a lack of science, but the way science, regulation and commercial incentives are being used?
