Healthy Tomato Soup Recipe From a Top California Health Retreat

At Golden Door, one of America’s best-known health retreats, guests are served a light tomato broth in the middle of the day, after a morning of hard work and before lunch at one o’clock. It looks simple, but there is a lot of thinking behind it. In this episode, Méline visits Golden Door in California and speaks to Executive Chef Greg Frey Jr about how the soup is made and why it works. The broth is built from filtered water and crushed tomatoes, then steeped for about an hour with the trimmings and peelings of the season’s vegetables. Each guest then finishes it their own way with chilli flake, ground oats, flaxseed and the kitchen’s golden powder. Back in London, Méline has a go at recreating Greg’s soup at home. Greg explains: ◼ Why vegetable trimmings and peelings are the secret to the broth ◼ How soluble and insoluble fibre help you feel satiated until lunch ◼ Why he says tomatoes are a better source of potassium than bananas or coconut water ◼ What the chilli, oats, flaxseed and golden powder each add ◼ Why the soup is kept as a light broth 0:00 Intro 0:20 Discovering the Soup at Golden Door 0:40 What Goes Into a Potassium Broth 0:55 Chilli, Oats, Flaxseed and Golden Powder 1:22 How the Broth Is Made 1:43 Why Tomato Soup in the Middle of the Day 2:02 The Real Secret: Soluble and Insoluble Fibre 2:24 Why a Broth and Not a Sauce 2:59 Recreating the Soup at Home in London 3:23 The Finished Soup ◼ Visit Golden Door: https://www.goldendoor.com ◼ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegoldendoor/?hl=en

Humanoid Robots Are Years Away. These Robots Are Ready Now

Everyone is waiting for humanoid robots to walk into their homes and take over the chores. According to George Ekas, that moment is still a few years away. Meanwhile, the robots that will change how we work are already here, and they walk on four legs. George Ekas is Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Toborlife AI, a Mountain View robotics company and North American distributor for Unitree Robotics. He leads the team building Toborlife’s teleoperation and training pipeline. It is designed so businesses can teach robots new tasks without needing to be robotics software engineers. In this conversation, filmed on our return visit to Toborlife AI four months after our first, George introduces the brand new Unitree A2 quadruped. He explains why most people misjudge how far along robots really are, and he sets out the three phases he believes will take us from research labs to robots in every home and factory. He explains: ◼ Why autonomous humanoid robots in the home are still a few years away ◼ What the Unitree A2 can already do, from security patrols to carrying loads across construction sites ◼ Why we build robots in the shape of dogs and in the shape of humans ◼ The two machine learning paradigms teaching robots to walk and to use their hands ◼ The three phases of the robot revolution and why we are now entering the second ◼ Why customers want robots to do jobs better, not just to make labour cheaper ◼ How an ageing population and his own grandparents inspire his work 0:00 Intro 0:45 Back at Toborlife AI Four Months Later 1:02 Meet the Unitree A2 Quadruped 1:29 Security, Inspection and Construction: What the A2 Is Built For 1:57 Sensors, Lidar, Battery Life and All-Weather Performance 2:47 The Robot That Does Backflips 2:56 George Introduces the A2 3:22 From the Go2 to the A2: Research Platform to Real-World Solution 3:54 The Biggest Misconception About What Robots Can Do Today 5:57 Why We Build Robots Shaped Like Dogs and Humans 6:59 How Robots Learn: Algorithms, Reinforcement Learning and Imitation Learning 8:30 The Three Phases of the Robot Revolution 10:05 Drones, Warehouse Robots and Self-Driving Cars Are All Robots 11:00 NEO, Boston Dynamics and Unitree: How the Big Players Compare 12:07 How Businesses Can Train Their Own Robots Through Teleoperation 13:37 Where Robotics Will Be in a Year or Two 14:34 Why People Really Want Robots: Better Work, Not Cheaper Labour 15:28 AI Needs a Body: Why Robots Give AI Real-World Power 16:27 The Childhood Promise That Made George Fall in Love With Robotics 17:20 What You Can Buy From Toborlife AI Today You can follow Toborlife AI here: ◼ Website: https://toborlife.ai

How to Live Past 100 in Good Health According to a Longevity Doctor in Europe's Longest Living City

What does it actually take to live well past 100? Javier Ramírez Sabau, founder of Clínica Neleva in Madrid, one of Europe's leading longevity clinics, says the answer is simpler and more powerful than most people expect. In this short, Javier shares the three things that matter most for longevity, why healthspan matters far more than lifespan, and the one thing he says is more important than any diet, supplement, or biomarker test. He explains: ◼ Why the goal is not living longer but living better for longer ◼ Why a positive mindset is the single most important factor in health ◼ How optimising your biomarkers delays the effects of ageing ◼ Why living in better health quality will naturally take you well above 100 You can follow Clinica Neleva here: ◼ Website: https://clinicaneleva.com/ ◼ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clinicaneleva/ **This content is for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.

How to Stop Overthinking at Night: A Hypnotherapist Explains What Actually Works

Malminder Gill has been a hypnotherapist for over 16 years. She has worked in rehab centres around the world, written a book of therapeutic sleep stories, and built an entire practice from word of mouth alone. When it comes to overthinking and sleep, she speaks from personal experience: at 18, she suffered a year of insomnia following a car accident and found a solution in hypnotherapy. In this conversation, Méline sits down with Malminder to explore what hypnotherapy actually is, how the subconscious mind controls far more of your behaviour than you think, and why your brain is already entering trance states multiple times a day without you realising it. Malminder also reveals the one technique you can practise at home tonight to finally quiet a racing mind, and explains why the AI therapy chatbot she tried left her with more questions than answers. She explains: ◼ Why your subconscious mind controls far more of your behaviour than you think ◼ How scrolling Instagram puts your brain into the exact same state as clinical hypnotherapy ◼ Why it is the emotion attached to a memory, not the memory itself, that keeps you stuck ◼ The ethical grey area around using hypnotherapy to recover forgotten memories ◼ Why AI therapy always validated her and why that is a serious problem ◼ The room visualisation technique you can practise tonight to quiet a racing mind ◼ Why bad memories make your life smaller and what hypnotherapy actually does about it You can follow Malminder here: ◼ Website: https://www.malmindergill.com ◼ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/malminder.gill/ **This content is for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.

88% of People Who Think They Are Healthy Already Have Heart Disease. Here Is What to Do About It

Bill Kapp is a former orthopaedic surgeon who built nine hospitals, founded Fountain Life alongside Peter Diamandis and Tony Robbins, voted the number one longevity centre in the world by the Buck Institute. He started Fountain Life because of one devastating realisation: the American healthcare system is designed to treat disease, not prevent it. And by the time most people find out they are sick, it is already too late. In this conversation, Bill reveals why 88% of Fountain Life members who consider themselves healthy already show signs of cardiac disease, why the United States spends $5.3 trillion on healthcare and still ranks 64th in longevity, and what his mother's death from stage four ovarian cancer taught him about the cost of waiting for symptoms. He also explains why early detection could lower healthcare costs by 70%, why GLP-1 drugs are the first true longevity medication, and the two things he says will do more for your long-term health than almost anything else. He explains: ◼ How Fountain Life collects 240GB of data about your body and turns it into an action plan in under five minutes using AI ◼ Why 60% of US bankruptcies are caused by medical debt and how preventive care fixes that ◼ The 12 hallmarks of ageing and which ones you can actually change right now ◼ Why GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic may be the first true class of longevity medication ◼ Why women should be on hormone replacement for life, not just ten years ◼ The two daily habits that protect your long-term health more than anything else: muscle mass and sleep You can follow Bill and Fountain Life here: ◼ Website: https://www.fountainlife.com ◼ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fountainlife **This content is for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.

What Living Longer Actually Looks Like: Inside Madrid's Leading Longevity Clinic

Madrid has the highest life expectancy in Europe, with people living to an average of 86 years old. But living longer is not the same as living better. So what does it actually take to add not just years to your life, but health to those years? In this episode, Méline visits Clinica Neleva, one of Madrid's leading longevity clinics, to put her own health to the test and find out. She sits down with founder and longevity doctorJavier Ramírez Sabau, who explains why the future of medicine is not about treating disease but preventing it before it ever takes hold.

Peter Diamandis: How to Reverse Ageing and Live Longer Than You Think Is Possible

Peter Diamandis is one of the world's leading voices on longevity, exponential technology, and the future of human health. He is the founder of XPRIZE, co-founder of Singularity University, and the founder of Fountain Life, an advanced health and longevity centre that collects 200GB of data about your body in a single day to find what conventional medicine misses entirely.

Nobel Laureate Robert Lefkowitz: Intuition, Loss and the Discovery That Changed Modern Medicine

Professor Robert Lefkowitz is a Nobel Prize-winning scientist whose discovery of G protein-coupled receptors underpins more than 700 of the drugs in use today, including beta blockers, antihistamines, antidepressants and GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. At 83 years young, he still runs his lab at Duke University, exercises an hour every day, and eats entirely plant-based food after quadruple bypass surgery at 51. In this deeply personal conversation, Professor Lefkowitz takes Méline through the science that changed modern medicine, the role of intuition in research, and the father who gave him the most important piece of advice he ever received and died three weeks later, never knowing what his son would go on to achieve. He explains: ◼ How G protein-coupled receptors work and why they are the foundation of modern pharmacology ◼ Why a third of all FDA-approved drugs work through the same system he discovered in the 1970s ◼ How GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic actually work and why we are only at the beginning ◼ Why intuition is the only thing that keeps a scientist going when experiments fail for years ◼ The two things he says are all that really matter in a life: love and work ◼ What he hopes to see breakthroughs in before he dies: cancer and dementia ◼ The advice his mentor gave him that he still lives by: five year packages, never more 0:00 Intro 0:47 How Winning the Nobel Prize Changed His Name and His Life 1:50 The Discovery That Underpins 700 of Today's Most Used Drugs 4:42 How Receptors Work: The Lock and Key That Runs Your Body 8:05 Why Intuition Is the Only Thing That Keeps a Scientist Going 11:35 The Vietnam War Draft That Accidentally Made Him a Scientist 17:00 Why He Missed the Lab and What That Told Him About Himself 20:35 The Science of GLP-1: How Ozempic and the New Weight Loss Drugs Actually Work 23:15 Gene Therapy and the Future of Editing the Human Body 27:50 The Chemistry vs Medicine Nobel: The Story Behind the Tug of War 33:00 The Thanksgiving Conversation With His Father That Changed Everything 38:30 Why He Still Exercises an Hour a Day at 83 and What He Eats 42:00 His Warning About AI in Medicine and Why You Cannot Trust It Blindly 44:45 The Two Breakthroughs He Is Still Waiting For: Cancer and Dementia 47:00 Love and Work: What a Nobel Laureate Says Actually Makes a Life ◼ Duke University Profile: https://www.lefkowitzlab.org/ ◼ Book: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Stockholm: https://www.amazon.com/Funny-Thing-Happened-Way-Stockholm/dp/1324006811

Golden Door has been transforming the lives of its guests for 75 years. Tucked away in the hills of Southern California, it is a place built around a single belief: that true wellbeing comes from movement as well as stillness, and that carving out space for yourself is not a luxury, it is a necessity. In this episode, Méline visits one of the world's most respected wellness retreats to understand what makes it work. She sits down with General Manager and COO Kathy Van Ness to explore the philosophy behind a place built around the belief that peace is the foundation of longevity.
