Dr. Oliver Cronin joins me to unpack the truth about gut health, cancer prevention, and longevity.
A gastroenterologist with a Fulbright scholarship from NYU Langone and fellowship training at Westmead Hospital, Oliver has seen firsthand how lifestyle and environment are reshaping Australia’s health.

We talk reflux, the rise in bowel cancer among young Australians, and why colonoscopies remain one of the most powerful tools for early detection. He explains how AI is transforming endoscopy, detecting pre-cancerous cells with remarkable accuracy, and how preventative health programs like Everlab are changing the game.

We also discuss what’s in your control: diet, fibre, exercise, and the tough conversations around alcohol and lifestyle. This is an unfiltered look at what’s really going on inside your body and how small, consistent changes can make the biggest difference to how long and how well you live.

One product I’ve recently added to my routine from the Bulk Nutrients range is their NMN Extend. It’s a science-backed blend of 10 powerful ingredients, including NMN, Resveratrol, and Hyaluronic Acid, designed to support everything from energy and muscle recovery, to skin hydration, joint health, and event mental clarity. Check out their NMN extend product here: https://www.bulknutrients.com.au/products/nmn-capsules

Eight Sleep’s newest generation, Pod 5. isn’t just another bed-frame add-on; it’s a high-tech mattress cover that actively adjusts to your body temperature throughout the night, cooling, warming, and even elevating your body when needed, all based on real-time data. The new Pod 5 introduces for the first time, a hydro-powered blanket system, utilising the same technology as the cover to extend temperature regulation across your entire body, not just the mattress surface. Clinically proven to increase quality sleep by up to one hour each night, it’s basically like having an AI-powered sleep coach, personal thermostat, and advanced health tracker working for you while you rest. 

Head on over to eightsleep.com/project100 and use the code PROJECT100 (that’s Project one-zero-zero) and get up to $550 off your very own Pod 5. Trust me, your body will thank you for this investment in better sleep.
