So many bad things have happened to me lately. From an unexpected medical diagnosis to a roof collapsing beneath me.Bad things are happening to you as well with fuel, food and rent/mortgage prices spiraling out of control. And it looks like the pain is only just beginning.So how can I say 'It's a Good Day'?I think the day was 'good' before we arrived into it. And when bad things happen, that creates a tension between what the day is (good) and what we experienced (bad).I don't think pain itself grows you. It just causes trauma. But the tension that exists there does build character.In this case, falling through a roof has led to the completion of one of my books - it came out fast after hospital. Maybe brain injuries are creative catalysts.It's a Good Day.

It's deliberate. Strategic. Politicians have a strong self-preservation instinct and the best way to deflect criticism is to divide the population and turn them against each other.That is exactly what Australia's Prime Minister is doing over the fuel crisis, blaming it on everyday families who are 'hoarding' fuel.This is how he does it: set up a false binary and invite viewers to self identify with a noble majority, channel all anger toward a hated and imaginary minority, then threaten the noble majority with pain so they blame it on the minority.It's the identical public relations playbook deployed during Covid. And it works.Here's how, here's why, and here's the video that obliterates your excuse for not knowing how politicians are manipulating you against your fellow Australian.

Dr. Peter Brukner is one of Australia's most decorated sports medicine physicians. He is former head of medical and performance at Liverpool FC, team doctor for Cricket Australia, Cathy Freeman's doctor at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and now one of the most credible voices in the low-carb and diabetes reversal space.

In 2012, at 60 years old and working in Liverpool, Brukner had a fatty liver, high triglycerides, elevated insulin, and a strong family history of type 2 diabetes. He tried a low-carb diet for 90 days. He lost 13 kilograms. Every blood marker normalised. The fatty liver (present for a decade) was gone.

What followed was a complete reorientation of his career: founding Sugar by Half, writing the bestselling 'A Fat Lot of Good', developing the Defeat Diabetes program, and becoming one of the most persistent critics of dietary guidelines that he believes are built on fraudulent science.

This is a wide-ranging, evidence-dense conversation covering the politics of how fat got demonised, why the medical system structurally cannot update itself, the real mechanism behind type 2 diabetes, the legitimate and illegitimate uses of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, athlete nutrition, injury recovery, and where AI is headed in medicine.
