Are Greens Powders the Real Deal? Separating Superfood facts from marketing hype and why.
Greens Powder PowerIn this episode, Jem and Donny dive into the world of green powders—what people expect from them, what’s inside, and whether the science stacks up. We unpack results from our Greens Survey, review key studies, and look at how ingredients and pricing measure up in the real world.👉 The bottom line: If your diet is poor, a greens powder won’t save you. If your nutrition is solid, it might give you an extra edge—but many are overpriced and underdosed.Before you spend big, learn how to read the label and decide whether a greens powder is worth your money.🔗 Links to studies & resources:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6362155/ (105 women over 12 weeks with 63 completing a Randomised control trial – Some benefit, findings positive but not conclusive.) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15217524/https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324027#dosagehttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7664199/ https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/barley-grass#nutritionhttps://versus.com/en/blackcurrant-vs-blueberry🎧 Whether you’re a smoothie-lover or a skeptic, this episode will help you cut through the noise and make an informed choice.#greens #greenspowder #menshealth #greenroutine #gut #gutmicrobiome #guthealth #bestgreenpowders #nutrition #dailysmoothie #healthsmoothie  Enjoyed the podcast?If you have enjoyed this podcast, please like and follow us to help others find us.

With Routine comes Freedom. Try some structure in your life, get things done. Master the chaos with these easy tips and reasons why Routine sets you free.
ROUTINE SETS YOU FREE. WHY YOU SHOULD MASTER THE CHAOSWe often think of routine as boring, restrictive, or limiting—but in truth, routine is freedom. It’s the discipline that gives you space to thrive, not just survive.Jocko Willink (Navy SEAL & discipline advocate): “Discipline equals freedom.”Dr. B.J. Fogg (Stanford): “Tiny habits reliably shape identity.”NASA: If routine keeps astronauts sane in space, imagine what it can do for your busy Tuesday morning.Medieval monks: Routine wasn’t control—it was spiritual hygiene.Viktor Frankl (Man’s Search for Meaning): Even in Auschwitz, prisoners who clung to small routines—like cleaning shoes or saving a crust of bread—found purpose and resilience.Routine isn’t about doing less. It’s about creating a rhythm that helps you do more, consistently, in health, work, and life.Don’t underestimate the quiet power of routine. It’s not control—it’s mastery.If you enjoyed this episode, please like, follow, and share so others can find us.Learn more at oldbullhealth.com or join our mailing list for weekly updates that entertain and enlighten.🎧 More episodes here: Podcast SeriesThis podcast is for general information and entertainment only—it’s not medical advice.

Shit my dad says and why you should take this seriously. It might even be your legacy to your kids. The research says so.

Shit my dad says and why you should take this seriously. It might even be your legacy to your kids. The research says so.
Shit My Dad Says and why it matters more than you think.We’ve all heard them—those one-liners dads throw out at just the right (or wrong) time. Maybe they made you roll your eyes as a kid… but here’s the thing: those sayings stick for a reason.This episode digs into why “dad sayings” aren’t just throwaway lines—they’re memory-efficient life frameworks. Short, punchy, emotionally charged, and repeated in formative moments, they become mental shortcuts you carry for life.Here’s what we unpack:Why dad (and mum) sayings shape the way we think and actHow shared experiences + strong emotions hardwire lessons into memoryWhy repetition builds lasting mental habits (heuristics)The science that proves stories and phrases create resilience, discipline, and social strategiesFathers pass down more than genetics—they pass down emotional algorithms for life: how to save, how to treat people, how to keep your ego in check, and how to bounce back when life gets tough.👉 These aren’t just words. They’re wisdom, survival strategies, and sometimes, a legacy for your kids.#menshealth #fatherhood #legacy #mindset #shortsharpfit #oldbullhealth #dadjokes #dadhumour #shitmydadsays Enjoyed the podcast?If you have enjoyed this podcast, please like and follow us to help others find us.

Use Supplements? Maybe you should, but before you waste your hard earned cash, listen to this.

Use Supplements? Maybe you should, but before you waste your hard earned cash, listen to this.
Supplements: Magic Pills or Marketing Hype? Before you spend big, listen up.Do you really need supplements—or are you just buying into expensive hype?Conventional wisdom says “eat a balanced diet”, but let’s be honest: most of us don’t. Add in the fact that as we age our bodies process nutrients less efficiently, plus the realities of modern lifestyles, food supply chains, and environmental stressors, and suddenly “nutritional gaps” are almost inevitable.This episode breaks down the facts (and fiction) around supplements:How to choose wisely: What matters, what’s marketing spin, and what’s a red flag.Dosing guidelines: Why more is not always better, and how to avoid wasting money.Regulations explained: What TGA registration and ARTG listings actually mean, and why that little number on the label matters.Importing dangers: Why overseas products can be risky—and how to spot unsafe or untested supplements.The big question: Are supplements really the key to better health, or just a clever way to create “expensive urine”?With 75% of Australian households using supplements and a global market worth more than $150 billion, this is more than just a wellness trend—it’s a cultural movement, a business machine, and a personal health decision all wrapped into one.Tune in to cut through the noise, get the facts, and make smarter choices about what you put in your body.Podcast links:https://cmaustralia.org.au/wp-content/uploads/CMA-Snapshot-2024.pdf https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5502701/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK547852/ https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/vitamin-and-mineral-supplements-what-to-knowhttps://cmaustralia.org.au/shopping-online-for-vitamins-and-supplements-read-this-first/   Enjoyed the podcast?If you have enjoyed this podcast, please like and follow us to help others find us.
