Project 100 with Mark Bouris

We breathe 25,000 times a day without thinking about it... and that's exactly the problem. Breathwork coach and author Rory Warnock joins Mark to break down what conscious breathing actually does to your nervous system, your sleep, your performance, and your decision-making. This isn't meditation fluff. It's practical, science-backed techniques you can use tonight. From nasal breathing and the Bohr effect to why elite AFL players tape their mouths, this episode will change how you think about the one thing you do every second of your life.  **** All content and media by Project 100 is created and published online for informational purposes only.

Dr jemma King, sleep researcher and author of *Sleep Smarter, Think Sharper, Feel Better*, breaks down the science of what actually happens when you close your eyes: from the human growth hormone spike that only hits in your first two sleep cycles, to why your late-night coffee is still in your bloodstream at 2 AM. This is one of those conversations that will change how you think about every single night. Practical, science-backed, and no fluff.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Project 100, she and Mark Bouris work through the fundamentals of resistance training for longevity — covering exercise prescription, injury prevention, warmup protocols, progressive overload, and why movement, not rest, is almost always the right response to injury. The conversation is grounded in clinical experience and practical application, designed for anyone trying to make sense of the noise around strength training and long-term health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most Australians know alcohol isn't great for them — but almost nobody knows it directly causes 7 types of cancer, or that just 3 standard drinks a week raises breast cancer risk by 15%. Dr Chris Davis is a GP and addiction specialist who built a telehealth program to make alcohol treatment actually accessible — no waiting lists, no rehab wards, no judgment. In this episode we get into the chemistry of what alcohol actually does to your body, why your sleep is being quietly destroyed, and what the data says about who's really drinking at risky levels in this country. If you drink — or love someone who does — this one's worth your time.   All content and media by Project 100 is created and published online for informational purposes only.

In this episode, he walks through the full hormone production pathway from the hypothalamus to the testes, explains which blood markers most GPs overlook, and outlines the lifestyle, nutrition, and supplementation strategies he has used to bring his own testosterone to near-1,000 nanograms per deciliter naturally. The conversation also covers structural causes of low testosterone, the role of HBOT and sleep in hormone health, and when TRT becomes the appropriate next step.

Most people think longevity is about diet and supplements. Alexis Fernandez, cognitive neuroscientist, says the real killers are chronic stress, isolation, and outsourcing your brain to your phone. In this episode of Project 100, Mark Bouris sits down with Alexis to unpack what the science on centenarians actually shows — and it's simpler, and more confronting, than most people want to hear. From cortisol dysregulation to synaptic pruning to why resistance training is the best thing you can do for your brain, this conversation will change how you think about what it means to age well.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most people taking supplements are wasting their money — not because supplements don't work, but because what they're swallowing never actually reaches the cells that need it. Bioavailability scientist George Kokkinis has spent 30 years at the intersection of chemistry, regulation, and human performance, and what he shares in this episode will change how you read every supplement label. From vitamin D3 and NMN to berberine, CoQ10, and omega-3s, we break down what's actually getting absorbed, what's heading straight to the toilet, and what to look for before you spend another dollar. This is the supplement conversation nobody in the industry wants you to have.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Project 100, I sit down with one of Australia's leading cardiothoracic surgeons to understand what's actually happening inside your heart, what your cholesterol numbers really mean, and why the gap between men and women in heart disease outcomes is more serious than most people realise. This is the conversation that will change how you think about what you're doing to your body right now — not in 30 years' time.

Dr Stacy Sims is one of the world's leading exercise physiologists and nutrition scientists specialising in women's health, and she joins Project 100 to explain why the science women have been given is largely based on male data — and what that means for how women should actually train, eat, and protect their healthspan. From the cellular differences between the sexes, to perimenopause, creatine, protein timing, Alzheimer's risk, and why sleep beats everything else — this is a conversation every woman (and the people who love them) needs to hear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
