As we continue along this learning curve of re-examining our own health and life choices, the impact of social media and podcasting has meant there has never been such a wealth of information – and sadly, mis-information – spreading so widely amidst the general population.
Regardless of fads, health trends or wellbeing advice from familiar faces, the fact remains that those who study these fields in depth – scientists, medical professionals – are the ones who truly understand and can inform us about the latest data and relevance of any given topic or treatment.
Enter Beyond The Limits, a wellness and performance podcast hosted by UK Medical Professionals Dr Matt Clarke and Dr Mike Forsythe.
Still in its infancy but with a clearly honed and refreshingly to-the-point approach, Beyond The Limits tackles modern health fads and ideas like Ozempic and mouth taping, and counters false information with real-life discussions both between themselves and with a handful of global experts from other medical fields.
Most recently, GLP-1s and the obesity crisis – Is the weight almost over? makes for a brilliantly topical, relevant, and fascinating introduction to the podcast.
Featured guest Sasha High MD is a Canadian physician and obesity specialist. Her understanding of obesity and the impact of modern treatment is second to none, and her delivery is of such a welcoming and inclusive nature, that the entire conversation is insightful and informative on a level wholly accessible to the average listener.
From brain function and the process of storing and burning fat, to dietary changes and the complex relationship between all of this, Beyond The Limits uncovers the true status of obesity and modern health within a compelling, captivating forty-minute episode.
Brilliantly presented to welcome not only those struggling with weight issues but anyone who has inevitably found themselves with an opinion on the topic – especially with the rise of Ozempic use amongst celebrities – this obesity discussion is a must-hear.
Everybody has thoughts to cast on these issues, but those thoughts are often framed around short snippets of information or statements from uninformed individuals. We decide whether it’s healthy, whether it’s cheating, whether it’s worth the hype, and we base this largely on a select few photographs or comments from arbitrary sources.
Beyond The Limits gets straight to the science and depth of the topic of obesity and Ozempic, uncovers the truth, discusses alternatives, and shines light on the scientific intricacies of these modern day treatments as a means of overcoming such widespread epidemics like obesity.
Covering a multitude of health fads, medical breakthroughs, and information regarding the science of performance, Beyond The Limits is a perfectly-timed new medical podcast, cutting straight through the filler and falseness of the modern podcast scene, and presenting scientifically and medically backed facts and counter-arguments – to help listeners gain a true understanding of their health and the current trajectory of modern living.
Other highlights include Take The Plunge, advising on the pros and cons of cold plunges, and Tape it Or Leave It? – tackling the viral trending topic of sleep apnoea and mouth-breathing. There’s also a focused discussion on whether or not multivitamins and supplements are worth while, and an invaluable conversation about natural fertility conception – the content of which is incredibly informative and important.
Take control of your health, of the information you take in, and feel welcomed and included in a range of discussions that genuinely seek to oppose the dangerous rise of misinformation in health, well-being, and longevity.
