There’s no shortage of health advice out there, but how much of it actually works? Cold plunges, glucose monitors, protein timing, banning microplastics… How do we figure out what’s worth our time, and what just sounds good on social media? Now there’s a method.

The Method – Health in the Real World unpacks the science and real-world application behind modern-day health. We put health topics under the microscope to find out how we can live better now, and for longer.

Hosted by brother and sister duo Tommy and Katie Wood, each episode is evidence-based and tackles one health question through three lenses:
-The science: What experts, data, and scientific research say.
-The practice: How to turn theory into habit and sustainable behaviour change.
-The experience: How the practice lives up to expectation when tested in real life.

We speak with leading voices to help you make sense of your health.

This show will help you build new healthy habits that stick. Eating better, moving with intention, getting quality sleep, engaging your brain more meaningfully, understanding the power of social connection, or building more emotional resilience… Let’s find out what works for you.
In an often chaotic world, we want to keep an eye on the long game: maximising your healthspan, not just your lifespan. The Method gives you the tools to chart your own path towards health confidence.

Expect deep dives on the science of health. From supplements and brain health to personalised nutrition, biomarker tracking, zone 2 training, and stress management… We find out how small habits can make us feel good – even when life gets messy. Whether you’re new to proactive health, or already experienced and looking for nuanced conversations and fresh insights on healthspan, The Method will empower you to take the next step.
