The Abi Khan Show

Two years before her final period, a woman's body starts gaining fat twice as fast, and nobody tells her. This episode breaks down the physiology of perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause in plain English, what an 18-year study of over 1,000 women found about muscle and fat, and busts five of the most common myths about hormones, metabolism, and weight loss along the way. No hype, no hormone-shaming, just the evidence, and what to actually do with it. Want to go deeper?

Most people say they train for health, but what if that isn't entirely true, and that admitting the truth is where real change begins.Mike is the co-founder and Chief Content Officer of RP Strength, one of the world's leading evidence-based fitness platforms. He holds a PhD in Sport Physiology from East Tennessee State University, has served as a professor at multiple US universities, is a former sports nutrition consultant for the US Olympic Training Site, a competitive bodybuilder, and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt. His latest book, The Aesthetic Revolution, is a bold manifesto arguing that vanity isn't something to overcome, it's a biological reality to be harnessed, and the most direct path to building a body and a life you're proud of.But this episode goes much further than the book.On his personal YouTube channel, he explores futurism, the purpose of life, AI, morality, and what humanity is heading toward. In this episode, Abi and Mike go into:- Why vanity is honest and health is often just a more socially acceptable lie we tell ourselves.- What the body reveals about identity that no amount of mindset work can manufacture.- Where the body is going - GLP-1 drugs, gene therapy, full physical modification, and what it means for human identity when transformation becomes effortless The question underneath everything: what are you actually building a life for?Raw, unfiltered, truth.Get the book The Aesthetic Revolution by Dr Mike Israetel - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aesthetic-Revolution-Embracing-Fitness-Healthiest/dp/1538779846Follow Mike's journey RP Strength (training, science & bodybuilding)- https://www.youtube.com/@renaissanceperiodization Mike Israetel: Making Progress (futurism, philosophy & meaning) - https://www.youtube.com/@MikeIsraetelMakingProgress/videosMike on Instagram @drmikeisraetel - https://www.instagram.com/drmikeisraetel/

This week's guest is a friend, a rugby league S+C coach, and a man who has lived through anorexia and overcame the difficulties that are associated with the disease.Josh Wiggins: https://www.instagram.com/_joshwiggins?igsh=NmwzZHRsNnd3NTNsEating disorders in men are still treated as a footnote, even now, even with everything we know about mental health. Josh has spent years working with families whose teenagers are going through the same thing he once did, bringing both lived experience and real practical insight to conversations most parents don't know how to start.In this episode we talk about what his anorexia actually looked like as a young man, the turning point in his recovery, how he now helps other families recognise the signs early. We also get into athlete development in rugby league, what the sport gets right when it comes to young men's growth throughout their formative years.Josh's passion in helping men overcome their own challenges in their mental health. Everything from social anxiety, the fear of speaking up about their struggles, and how that can impact their home life.A raw, honest conversation about a topic that doesn't get talked about enough. Let this episode be an important reminder that, you are not alone and that true strength is asking for help when you need it.Enjoy and please share with someone who needs to hear this conversation.

What can a Roman emperor, a Japanese swordsman, a Mongol conqueror, and a Persian poet actually teach you about the decision you've been putting off? In this episode, Abi walks into the lives of Marcus Aurelius, Socrates, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, & Rumi to unpack one uncomfortable idea: the things you don't do haunt you longer than the things you try and fail at. Real history, real psychology, and one honest question, what are you waiting for?Citations:A very public replication of the temporal pattern to people's regrets; large-scale museum-based replication of the Gilovich & Medvec finding that long-term regret is associated more strongly with inaction than action.

Your social media addiction isn't a lack of willpower, it's your brain working exactly as it was designed to.Professor Guy Leschziner is one of the UK's leading neurologists, Professor of Neurology and Sleep Medicine at King's College London, and head of one of Europe's largest Sleep Disorders Centres at Guy's Hospital. His latest book, Seven Deadly Sins: The Biology of Being Human, was named an FT Best Book of 2024 and argues that our deepest impulses, gluttony, envy, pride, wrath, lust, greed, and sloth, aren't moral failings. They're biological realities hardwired by millions of years of evolution.In this episode, Abi takes that framework somewhere Guy hasn't been taken before: social media.- GLUTTONY: The infinite scroll hijacks the same brain circuitry that evolved to survive scarcity, the reason you can't stop, even when you want to, has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with dopamine- ENVY: Your brain was designed to monitor a tribe of 150 people. Social media forces it to run a threat-assessment on the entire world simultaneously, driving anxiety, eroding self-worth, and keeping cortisol chronically elevated- PRIDE: When self-worth is pegged to a number that refreshes every few minutes, the neurological pathway to genuine internal confidence starts to break down.- WRATH: Anger is the fastest-spreading emotion online because platforms algorithmically reward it. What happens to a brain when an ancient survival circuit fires thirty times a day at strangers, with no resolution and no outlet?- LUST: Social media is the most sophisticated novelty-delivery system ever built. The dopamine hits may be conditioning your brain to find real life chronically under-stimulating.- GREED: Who is really doing the hoarding, the user chasing followers, or the platform extracting human attention as a commodity?- SLOTH: The most dangerous sin of all. Is social media outsourcing human cognition to an algorithm, and what does a brain that stops being challenged actually lose?A raw, unfiltered conversation about neuroscience, performance, and what it takes to protect your brain in the modern attention economy.GUY'S BOOKS (Available on Amazon and Independant retailers)Seven Deadly Sins: The Biology of Being Human (2024) The Man Who Tasted Words (2022) The Nocturnal Brain: Nightmares, Neuroscience and the Secret World of Sleep (2019) WANT TO GO DEEPER ON GUY'S WORK?Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett https://open.spotify.com/episode/7gbhE80VKLz00uLAnYopkUFeel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee https://open.spotify.com/episode/4srfYQq3CNmQlX9bO97JwQWebsite: www.guyleschziner.com

A 2,500-year-old Chinese military text is outselling most self-help books in 2026, and it's not because people want to fight more. Sun Tzu's The Art of War has never really been about aggression. At its core, it's a manual for attention, strategy, and knowing when not to commit your forces. In this episode, Abi explores how Sun Tzu's principles map onto the defining struggles of modern life: social media algorithms designed to keep us in a state of outrage, the cognitive overload of the information age, the psychology of knowing yourself under pressure, and the radical idea that winning without fighting is the highest form of strategy. Backed by current research in cognitive science, psychology, and social behaviour, this is a different kind of conversation about an ancient text, not reverent, not reductive, just honest about what it actually says and why it still matters.FULL CITATION LIST1.

The global economy is in chaos. Tariffs. Market swings. Recession fears. You're managing your business through it, but nobody is telling you what it's doing to your body.In this episode, Abi Khan breaks down the physiology of economic stress: what chronic cortisol actually does to your hormones, your decision-making, and your long-term health. You'll hear about the Cambridge University study that found market volatility raised traders' cortisol by 68%, and dropped their risk appetite by 44%. You'll understand why your HRV score right now is the most important business metric you're not tracking. And you'll leave with a concrete protocol for protecting your performance system when the world is designed to break it.This isn't a wellness episode. It's a performance survival guide.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has the best athletes on earth deploying cutting-edge science to protect sleep, manage jet lag, optimise nutrition, and perform under the highest pressure in world sport. In this episode, Abi Khan breaks down exactly what those protocols are, and why every single one of them applies to you. If you travel for work, operate under daily pressure, and haven't slept properly in years, this episode gives you the elite performance playbook, translated for your life.Studies Referenced:[1] Taylor L et al., "The 2026 Men's FIFA Football World Cup: Evidence-Based Guidelines to Protect Player Health and Performance from Environmental Challenges," Sports Medicine, 2026.

Why do people fail, not physically, but psychologically? In this sharp solo episode, Abi breaks down the three hidden reasons smart, driven people can't make their health changes stick: a refusal to raise their standards, an unconscious preference for comfort right now over results later, and a self-concept that's quietly sabotaging every new habit they try to build. No fluff. No filler. Just the uncomfortable psychology, and exactly how to break out of it.Studies & Sources Referenced:[1] Höpfner J & Keith N, "Goal Missed, Self Hit: Goal-Setting, Goal-Failure, and Their Affective, Motivational, and Behavioral Consequences," Frontiers in Psychology, 2021.

Welcome to the new episode ! Today's guest is non other than Dr. Dean St. Mart. Dean is probably most commonly known as the lead formulator for Trained by JP & Supplement needs. Here's his bio: PhD and Double First Class Hons DegreeProduct Formulator for Supplement Needs and fitness industry renowned Pharmacologist. I’ve been competing in bodybuilding since the age of 23, but prior to that, I was a World Champion Semi Contact Kickboxer. An accident in training led to smashed bones in my right foot, and my Dad who is an IFBB bodybuilding judge suggested to take up bodybuilding - the rest is history. I hold a Double 1st Class Honours degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry from National University of Ireland Maynooth where I finished top of the university and hold a PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry and Fluorescence Spectroscopy. My interests lie in Performance Enhancing Drug (PED) pharmacology, novel drug design, health supplementation and applying Functional Medicine to athletes to improve their health. My love of Functional Medicine is what led to the creation of a lot of the Dr Dean range within the Supplement Needs brand. Through this, I have gained the respect of the majority of the fitness industry for my no-nonsense approach when it comes to PED safety and health management. On a more personal note, I’m married to my wife Morgan who was also a Bikini competitor and a Level 4 Sports Injury Massage Therapist, and we have 2 beautiful boys Calum and Charlie.

Welcome to the Show!!! Today I have the pleasure of chatting with a fellow northerner (North of England) Professor Graeme Close. Graeme shared my love for Rugby League being a professional himself in his time which allowed us to reminisce a little off camera (don’t worry we won’t bore you during the show). The show in fact will entertain you and educate you from what it takes to handle the nutrition for professional athlete, specifically England Rugby. Originally a Professional rugby league player, Graeme is now a Professor in Human Physiology at Liverpool John Moores University where he combines his academic research with nutrition and physiology consultancy to some of the worlds leading sporting individuals and organisations. As well as leading a masters degree in sport nutrition Graeme is currently the expert nutrition consultant to England Rugby, he is the lead nutritionist to Everton Football Club and works with some of the worlds leading golfers such as Jason Day, the British Number 1 tennis player Johanna Konta and he also works with many Rugby League players. On top of this, and despite spending most of his professional career helping big people get bigger, he currently receives funding from Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan (the owner of Manchester City FC) to help professional jockeys make-weight safely. It is this combination of academic theory (over 75 research publications) and applied practice that has enabled Graeme to establish himself as a world-leading nutrition consultant and public speaker. Graeme is the only person in the UK who is an accredited sports nutritionist (rSEN), sports scientist (BASES) and strength and conditioning coach (UKSCA). He is the deputy chair of the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register and has recently received a prestigious fellowship from the British Association of Sport & Exercise Sciences (BASES) Follow Graeme’s journey here: http://www.closenutrition.com/ https://www.instagram.com/closenutrition https://twitter.com/close_nutrition If you enjoyed this podcast I would love you to share it with someone who might get some value out of it.

Welcome to the show ladies and germs! On today’s episode I have the pleasure of speaking with Ciaran O’Regan https://www.instagram.com/ctquarrelsome from Sigma Nutrition https://sigmanutrition.com/ I had a whole list of topics to discuss but that was thrown out of the window and we went deep into Athlete Psychology and the ‘Self'. We chat about the differences between Stress appraisal and Threat orientation and what that could mean for the outcome of the performance. Our conversation takes a left turn and we delve into why we think humans would sacrifice life for another knowing that our primal function is preservation of life.
