We’re delighted to welcome back Dr Peter Attia to High Performance, one of the leading voices in modern medicine and longevity. Known for his rigorous, evidence-based approach to health, Peter has built his work around a simple but demanding question: how do we live longer and better?

In this episode, Peter dives deep into what truly drives long-term health. He explains why exercise remains non-negotiable, how strength and cardiovascular fitness underpin independence as we age, and why the new wave of metabolic drugs are changing the conversation around heart health, cognition, and disease, without replacing the need for movement and training.

Peter also shares how he thinks about aging in practical terms, introducing the idea of “backcasting” from later life to guide the choices we make today. He breaks down which supplements actually matter, why he’s sceptical of health fads, and how balance, adaptability, and emotional wellbeing play a bigger role in longevity than most people realise.

Grounded, thoughtful, and highly practical, this episode offers a clear framework for protecting your body, your mind, and your quality of life, now and in the decades to come.

Dr. Alex George joins Jake for an open, deeply human conversation about happiness, mental health, and the quiet changes that can transform a life. He challenges the idea that doing more or achieving more will make us happy, explaining why we put happiness on a pedestal while ignoring emotions like sadness, grief, and frustration, even though every emotion has a purpose.

Dr. Alex also speaks honestly about sobriety, social pressure, and why you don’t need to hit rock bottom to rethink your relationship with alcohol. This conversation also explores grief, therapy, ADHD, and the stigma around men expressing emotion. Dr. Alex reflects on learning to sit with difficult feelings rather than escaping them, why walking therapy helped him process loss, and how cultural expectations can silence people until it’s too late.

This episode offers a powerful, practical episode about choosing awareness over avoidance, and building a healthier relationship with yourself, one step at a time.

Dr Alex's new book "Am I Normal?: Understanding Your Place in a Complex World" is out in January.

Robert Lewandowski is one of the most consistent goal scorers of his generation, a player who has stayed at the very top of world football not just through talent, but through mindset.

In this episode, Robert sits down with Jake and Damian to explain why he believes mentality counts for more than physical ability, and how players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have sustained excellence for so long.

From losing his father to being released early on, he describes the moments that forced him to build self-belief, resilience, and an uncompromising work ethic. He also talks about adapting as football evolves, learning from different cultures at Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and why even the modern elite, players like Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, can’t escape the need for constant growth.

Lewandowski explains why he avoids social media, how online judgement impacts younger players, and why protecting mental health is his personal “golden rule.” Drawing on lessons from managers like Jürgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, and Hansi Flick, he shares the core values that have shaped his career: honesty, hard work, and never giving up.

This is a rare insight into what it really takes to perform, adapt, and endure at the highest level, without losing yourself along the way.
