Live More Podcast
🎙️ The LiveMore Podcast — Official Description (Optimised)
The LiveMore Podcast explores what it really means to live longer, healthier, and show up as your best self — every single day.
Hosted by Rob Shakhani (BioHackRob), this podcast sits at the intersection of peak human performance, health optimisation, and longevity, while openly confronting the trade-offs that rarely get discussed.
Because peak performance does not always equal optimal health.
Each episode dives into the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors that shape how we think, move, work, recover, and age — blending quantitative metrics (biomarkers, physiology, performance) with qualitative dimensions (mental health, purpose, stress, relationships, meaning).
Through in-depth conversations with leading experts — from cardiologists and bone health specialists to mental health advocates and performance thinkers — the LiveMore Podcast tackles the questions that truly matter:
- How do we optimise healthspan, not just lifespan?
- When does performance enhancement start to undermine long-term health?
- What actually moves the needle for sustainable wellbeing?
- How do we build resilience — physically, mentally, and emotionally — in a demanding world?
Topics span heart health, metabolic health, bone density, mental health, suicide prevention, stress, sleep, exercise, nutrition, recovery, and longevity science, always with an emphasis on practicality, nuance, and real-world application.
This podcast is not medical advice.
It is a space for curiosity, critical thinking, and informed conversation — designed to share evidence-based perspectives, challenge simplistic narratives, and help you make better decisions for your own life.
If you care about living well, performing with intention, and building a body and mind that can carry you through life, this podcast is for you.
Train for life. Think long-term. LiveMore.

Gut health is often reduced to digestion and bloating.
In reality, it plays a central role in inflammation, blood sugar regulation, nutrient absorption, metabolic function, and how well we age.
In this Davos edition of the LiveMore Podcast, I sit down with Ella Davar to explore why the gut may be one of the most overlooked drivers of longevity and performance.
We break down the role of fibre, protein, the gut microbiome, omega-3s, artificial sweeteners, and the key habits that support long-term metabolic health.
If your goal is to improve healthspan, maintain muscle, and stay biologically younger for longer, this conversation will give you a clear, evidence-informed foundation.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why fibre is one of the most under-consumed nutrients in modern diets
- How the gut microbiome influences inflammation and overall health
- The relationship between protein intake, muscle mass, and healthy ageing
- Blood sugar control and its impact on metabolic health
- The difference between wild and farmed salmon
- Omega-3 intake from food versus supplementation
- The impact of artificial sweeteners on gut health
- The five key pillars of optimal gut health
- Practical strategies to improve gut health without unnecessary complexity
- The connection between gut health, performance, and longevity
