SPEAKING · PODCASTS · MEDIA
Talks that start with the evidence
I speak to companies, conferences and clinicians about mental health, breathwork and longevity, and I bring the studies with me. I've been quoted by Fox News Digital and the Wall Street Journal, and I've sat on the guest side of a few dozen podcasts.
TOPICS
What I talk about
Keynotes, lunch-and-learns, webinars and half-day workshops. In person in Texas and the UK, or on Zoom.
Therapy culture and family estrangement
Why estrangement has become common, what therapy-speak does to ordinary family conflict, and what the research says about who cuts off whom. Drawn from my book, Cut Off.
Breathwork and the nervous system
What the randomised trials show, what they don't, and how to use the breath for anxiety without the mysticism. Built on my PhD trial, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders.
Longevity and performance
Ten years off my biological age in two, the habits that held up under measurement, and the ones that didn't. I compete in the Rejuvenation Olympics.
IN THE PRESS
Newsweek, Fox News, the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal and more
Newsweek interviewed me about why more adults are cutting off family and what it costs them. Before that, Fox News Digital ran two pieces and a video segment on my work on estrangement, and the New York Post picked up the second. The Wall Street Journal cited me on the same subject. I've also been featured in Men's Health, Grazia, Longevity Today and Examine.com.

On the guest side of the mic
