75 episodes. One mission. Zero BS. - Love Story of Metabolic Wellbeing

This week we reached a milestone on Metabolic Wellbeing – Without the BS: Episode 75 🎙️
And it feels only right that this moment shines a light on the brains, heart, and driving force behind the movement — my life partner, best friend, and constant inspiration, Michelle Bauge.

In a free flowing conversation, please enjoy. A little insight into who is Michelle.

I’m about as ordinary as they come. I find joy in simple things — a walk in the park, a good conversation, a podcast that makes you think, moments that keep life grounded and real. Alongside a full-time role in Sports Development (which I genuinely love), I’ve also discovered something unexpected: a deep love for writing and storytelling.

Not with a grand plan.
Not with ambition or ego.
But with honesty, heart, and a desire to connect.

What started as a few words became a way of expressing what truly matters — compassion, empathy, courage, hope, and kindness. Much of that inspiration comes from my granddaughters, whose curiosity and light are daily reminders to stay brave, keep going, and lead with purpose.

That same ethos runs through Metabolic Wellbeing – Without the BS.
We don’t shy away from sensitive conversations because real change doesn’t happen in comfort. In a world that often feels divided and overwhelmed by noise, we believe clarity, love, and truth deserve the final word.

Through books, blogs, podcasts, collaborations, and now 75 episodes of honest conversation, the greatest gift has been this:
👉 giving something meaningful — and receiving far more in return.

Life rarely goes exactly to plan.
But when you take even the smallest step forward, rooted in compassion and hope, incredible things become possible.

Here’s to 75 episodes, to Michelle, and to everyone who continues to listen, question, learn, and choose wellbeing — without the BS.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Sarah Myhill, a true pioneer in ecological and nutritional medicine, whose work has challenged conventional thinking for over four decades.

Dr Myhill qualified from the Middlesex Hospital Medical School in 1981, spending 20 years as an NHS GP before moving into independent practice with a special interest in ME/CFS and chronic fatigue. She is internationally recognised for her groundbreaking work on mitochondrial dysfunction and its role in chronic disease, co-authoring some of the earliest and most cited scientific papers in this field.

She describes her mission simply and powerfully:

Why this conversation matters

• We explore mitochondria, energy production, and chronic illness
• Why symptom-chasing fails without understanding root causes
• How patients can become active participants in their own recovery
• The principles of Ecological Medicine and truly sustainable healthcare

Dr Myhill is also the author of multiple award-winning books, including:

• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – It’s Mitochondria, Not Hypochondria (BMA Highly Commended)
• Sustainable Medicine
• Ecological Medicine – The Antidote to Big Pharma and Fast Foods
• The Energy Equation – From the Naked Ape to the Knackered Ape

She is:

• Clinical Director of the College of Naturopathic Medicine
• Medical Director of the UK Medical Freedom Alliance
• Patron of the Association of Naturopathic Practitioners
• Holder of an Honorary Diploma in Naturopathic Medicine (2022)

With over 23 million visits to her website, countless lectures to clinicians, and major media appearances, Dr Myhill has remained a consistent, evidence-driven advocate for patient empowerment and metabolic health.

🎧 Episode 74 is a must-listen for anyone interested in energy, chronic disease, ME/CFS, metabolic health, or the future of medicine.

Episode #73 — Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS featuring Dale Atkinson

“One man’s refusal to accept the standard path — and what it means for the rest of us.”

Today’s episode is a powerful reminder of what happens when you challenge the status quo of modern care.

In this podcast, I sit down with Dale Atkinson — UK entrepreneur, writer, and cancer advocate — whose stage IV oesophageal cancer diagnosis in 2024 came with a prognosis of 11.5 months to live and a “palliative only” recommendation.

But Dale didn’t accept that as his story.

Instead, he built a science-led, integrative, person-centred approach that completely changed his trajectory. No false hope. No shortcuts. Just deep research, clinical curiosity, and a refusal to outsource his health.

Today, Dale is the founder of:
🔹 REIV — a next-generation cancer clinic (launching 2026)
🔹 The Life Organic — a platform dedicated to evidence-based health, nutrition & lifestyle strategy

And in this episode, we explore what his journey means for the rest of us.

Key Insights We Unpack:

Why finding your tribe in a health journey is non-negotiable
The power of working with the right people — clinicians, thinkers, mentors
Why open-mindedness and personalised protocols matter more than ever
How agency, curiosity, and self-education can shift outcomes
Why your health is not an expense — it’s your most valuable daily investment

Dale’s story isn’t just inspiring — it’s a case study in what’s possible when you take ownership of your care, your environment, and your decisions.

If you, or someone you love, is navigating a complex diagnosis…
If you’ve ever questioned the one-size-fits-all model…
If you believe in a future where metabolic health is foundational, not optional…

This episode is for you.

Listen to Episode #73 now
Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS — available on all major platforms.
