Real Health Talk

Three years since the first episode, Jordan and Zak are back on the same couch, and they open on time. Why it speeds up as you get older, why a weekend in a Daylesford cabin with nothing planned drags it back to a crawl, and what your brainwaves are doing when you drop into a meditation and lose track of the clock.It moves from there into neutralising fear instead of running from it, why speaking into a problem dissolves it while speaking about it keeps it swinging back, and where your decisions actually come from in a world where reviews, algorithms and AI will happily choose for you. Records over Netflix. A barber found by walking off the street. And the cascade that kicks off the second you sit down to eat lunch with a phone in your hand.💫 Stay Connected⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Zak⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Jordan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Jordan's Skool community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Zak's community⁠⁠Instagram:Jordan: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@jordan_davey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Zak: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@coachzakgoold⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Timestamps0:00 — Back on the couch, three years on4:00 — Why time speeds up as you age9:30 — Sauna, meditation and cultivating presence15:00 — Neutralising fear instead of running from it20:00 — Asking questions from curiosity, not lack25:00 — Where your decisions come from in the age of AI30:30 — Records over Netflix, and the Torquay barber36:00 — Eating fast: the breath, gut and SIBO cascade41:00 — The sacred morning and the brick44:00 — Alan Watts and the deeper question

Episode DescriptionJordan and Zak trace their journeys from rigid, system-bound practitioners to where they are now - trusting their intuition, sitting with uncertainty, and actually enjoying the process. They get into what it really means to work with someone (and be someone) who's still on the path, why curiosity is the most underrated clinical tool, and why the best coaches are the ones who haven't got it all figured out.💫 Stay Connected⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Zak⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Jordan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Jordan’s Skool community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Zak's community⁠Instagram: Jordan: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@jordan_davey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Zak: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@coachzakgoold⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Timestamps0:00 — Intro: 27 degrees, first of May, surf coast, zero structure1:50 — From PT and psych to here — how both their practices evolved4:30 — What happens when your clients don't get better and you run out of answers7:20 — Steph Curry misses more shots than anyone — failure as the craft10:00 — The blind spot: nailing protocols but forgetting to tell people to go outside12:30 — Why doctors protect their degrees even when the system fails people15:00 — The functional health trap — still a system, just a different one17:30 — Sharpening the blade vs. getting a new one — you're not broken20:00 — What it actually means to take someone on a journey, not just fix them22:30 — Jaden, Paul Chek, and what embodied conviction actually looks like24:30 — The Tao Te Ching paradox: to know everything, be okay knowing nothing26:30 — Knots in the mind — untangling belief systems and childhood patterns28:30 — Your body's not letting you down.

Episode DescriptionThis one's a free-flowing, honest conversation about what it actually means to show up for your health - and your life without being enslaved to outcomes or evidence. Jordan and Zak unpack why finding a hobby you genuinely love (bass, surfing, reading, painting = whatever it is) might be one of the most underrated health practices you can have. Dr. Happiness isn't a punchline; it might be the whole point.They also get into the traps people fall into in both conventional and holistic health systems, the difference between accumulating knowledge and actually embodying it, and why being authentic enough to be hated by some people is a sign you're doing something right.💫 Stay Connected⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Zak⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Jordan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Jordan’s Skool community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: Jordan: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@jordan_davey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Zak: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@coachzakgoold⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎧 ChaptersTimestamps0:00 — Intro: picking up bass, jamming instead of recording, and how it all started4:20 — Devotion to the practice: flow state, hobbies, and getting out of your head9:10 — Belief in yourself, high performers, and controlling intention not outcomes14:00 — Breathwork, psychedelics, and surrendering control of what comes up17:30 — Detaching from the evidence: why results always show up last23:45 — Dr. Happiness, joy, and humor as lost health fundamentals30:00 — Surrounding yourself with people who energise you vs. drain you35:10 — Authenticity, projections, and why being liked by everyone is a red flag41:00 — The quote: "It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you're not"44:30 — The comfort crisis: Uber Eats, AI, Ozempic and the Wally future50:00 — Learning through embodiment, not accumulation — Gerry Pollack and water54:30 — Simplicity vs. complexity in health: the Check system and getting back to foundations58:00 — When to ask for help — and why it's a sign of integrity, not weakness1:01:13 — Close

Episode DescriptionWe kick off 2026 with a proper catch-up after a summer of travel We unpack parenthood, boundaries, and what it actually takes to be present, not just productive.Then we go deeper into intuition and decision-making (especially under pressure), nervous system regulation as the real foundation, and why “how you do it” matters as much as “what you do”.
