The Evolution Lab

In this episode Matt speaks with psychiatrist and mental health trailblazer, Dr Alberto Pertusa, to discuss if we are actually misunderstanding the core definition of happiness, or is our modern world simply an attention-harvesting trap keeping us broke and burned out? They cover the commercial hype of the instant gratification market, why cheap dopamine hits from doomscrolling don't work, and the distinct unhappiness hidden behind wealth and material possessions. Beyond that they dive deep into why true happiness is about intentional hardship and purpose—the evolutionary traits connecting entrepreneurs to addiction—and why reaching a state of true flow requires sacrifice, not shortcuts. Whether you're struggling with brain fog, battling a dopamine crash, or trying to navigate the crowded wellness market to defeat burnout, this episode provides a clinical, 360-degree blueprint for stepping out of the "what-ifs" and getting your brain to operate in a perfect symphony through cutting-edge protocols like ExoMind. Website: ⁠⁠https://www.mattroberts.co.uk⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mattrobertsevolution⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mattroberts_lifestyle⁠⁠⁠⁠X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/mattrobertspt ⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mattrobertsevolution ⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattrobertsevolution⁠⁠ Guest InfoWebsite: https://www.londonpsychiatry.clinic/specialists/dr-alberto-pertusaLinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/alberto-pertusa-04487416 DisclaimerThe Evolution Lab podcast, hosted by Matt Roberts, is for informational and educational purposes only.

In this episode of the Evolution Lab, Matt speaks with Dr. Veronique Bataille — consultant dermatologist, melanoma researcher and founder of SkinTell — for a wide-ranging conversation about skin, ageing and the surprising biology that connects the two.Veronique has spent decades looking after high-risk melanoma patients, and it was a clinical observation that sparked some of her most fascinating research: why did her patients with the most moles seem to age more slowly, with stronger collagen, denser bones and fewer sunspots than their peers? The answer, it turned out, led her into the world of telomeres — and to findings that reshape how we should think about moles, skin health and longevity.Matt and Veronique cover:Why sun exposure is only part of the melanoma story, and the genetic, hereditary and "skin awareness" factors that matter just as muchWhat to actually look for in a changing mole (and the simple symmetry test you can do yourself).The telomere research linking long telomeres to more moles, better skin ageing, higher bone density — and a higher but more survivable melanoma risk.Why people with lots of moles tend to have better melanoma outcomes than those with none.The truth about sun cream: how much, how often, and whether the "SPF 50 in a London winter" message has gone too far.The vitamin D balance, safe sun exposure windows, and why our ancestors became paler for a reason.Botox, retinol, peptides, stem cells, PRP and exosomes — what the evidence actually shows, and where the marketing outruns the science.Why hydration alone won't save your skin (and why lipids matter more than water).The new SkinTell full-body mole-mapping scanner at Evolution in Mayfair, and why fast, accessible, lifestyle-led screening is the future of preventative medicine.Whether you're trying to understand your own risk, decode the cosmetics aisle, or simply make smarter decisions about sun, skin and ageing, this is a brilliantly grounded conversation from one of the UK's most respected voices in dermatology.Website: ⁠⁠https://www.mattroberts.co.uk⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠: https://www.facebook.com/mattrobertsevolution⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠: https://www.instagram.com/mattroberts_lifestyle⁠⁠X: ⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/mattrobertspt⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mattrobertsevolution⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattrobertsevolution⁠⁠Guest InfoWebsite: ⁠⁠https://www.skintell.co.uk⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/skintell_dermatology⁠DisclaimerThe Evolution Lab podcast, hosted by Matt Roberts, is for informational and educational purposes only.

In this episode Matt is joined by Dr. Tony Banerjee, founder of HarleyDoc, and our medical partner at Evolution, to give an honest, evidence-based breakdown of one of the most talked-about interventions in health right now - GLP-1 medications.They discuss why these drugs were developed, the critical difference between clinical and cosmetic use, and why muscle loss, not weight loss, is the metric most people on GLP-1s should be worried about. They also tackle the NHS's controversial plans to prescribe them at scale, the psychology of dependency, the peptide black market, and why without training, nutrition and medical oversight, the results won't last.Matt and Tony also discuss the cognitive and psychological side of health, why mental clarity and emotional wellbeing are just as important as what's happening physically, and how body image, self-worth and unrealistic expectations are quietly driving some of the biggest health challenges we see today.If you want to understand what a genuinely holistic approach to your health looks like in 2026 — this is essential listening.Website: ⁠https://www.mattroberts.co.uk⁠Facebook⁠: https://www.facebook.com/mattrobertsevolution⁠Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/mattroberts_lifestyle⁠X: ⁠https://www.twitter.com/mattrobertspt⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mattrobertsevolution⁠LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattrobertsevolution⁠Guest InfoWebsite: ⁠https://www.harleydoc.co.ukInstagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/harleydochealth DisclaimerThe Evolution Lab podcast, hosted by Matt Roberts, is for informational and educational purposes only.
