Without Mental Health, Nothing Else Matters — Joey Kolirin on Depression, Suicide & Addiction

Fled Iran at 13, Schooled with a Terrorist, Built 300K Speaking the Truth | Younes Sadaghiani

Featuring Younes Sadaghiani YouTube: @Younessrocks Instagram: @younessrocks X: https://x.com/younesrocks [https://x.com/younesrocks] Some people are shaped by comfort. Younes Sadaghiani was shaped by everything but. Born in Iran and arriving in the UK at 13 years old without speaking English, Younes rebuilt himself from the ground up. What followed was a journey through adversity, reinvention, public scrutiny, and eventually becoming one of the UK’s fastest growing independent political commentators with over 300,000 followers across social media. But this conversation goes far deeper than politics. What interested me most was not simply Younes’ opinions. It was the mindset required to hold them under relentless pressure, criticism, and public attention without losing himself in the process. In this episode of the LiveMore Podcast, we explore mental toughness, metabolic health, fasting, gut health, discipline, modern masculinity, social media, evolutionary biology, resilience, and what modern comfort is quietly doing to human performance. One of the most powerful moments in the conversation: “You need to be very mentally tough. It’s not for everyone to say the truths that I say.” That raises a deeper question most people never ask themselves honestly: What truths are you not saying, and what is that costing you? In this episode, we discuss: • Arriving in the UK from Iran at 13 and rebuilding from scratch • Going to school with a classmate who later trained with ISIS • From lifeguard to LSE to Chelsea FC to Fast and Furious 10 • How teaching A Level students unexpectedly launched his media career • Why mental toughness is built through repetition, not personality • The psychology of resilience under public scrutiny • How social media rewards outrage and dehumanisation • Why modern comfort is making people biologically weaker • The evolutionary argument for fasting and eating one meal a day • Why 85% of people fail basic metabolic health markers • Visceral fat, HbA1c, blood pressure, and the numbers that actually matter • Gut health, inflammation, and cognitive performance • Carbohydrate timing and why energy crashes happen between 2pm and 4pm • How to build a social media presence without losing your identity About Younes Sadaghiani Younes Sadaghiani is an Iranian born British political commentator and media personality. He studied politics and international relations at the London School of Economics and holds a master’s degree in international sports management.

Being Fit Doesn’t Mean You’re Healthy | James Cooper

Being fit doesn’t necessarily mean you’re healthy. In this episode of the LiveMore Podcast, I sit down with James Cooper, founder of BTX in Hampstead, nutrition graduate from King's College London, and third Dan black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, to explore why modern health and fitness culture may be failing more people than ever. Despite having more gyms, more supplements, more information, and more “health hacks” than any generation before us… People are still exhausted, overweight, burnt out, inflamed, injured, and ageing poorly. I’ve known James for over 20 years, and he’s one of the very few people in the fitness industry I genuinely respect because he actually lives what he teaches. This conversation goes far beyond aesthetics. We explore longevity, VO₂ max, ultra-processed foods, obesity, gut health, muscle mass, movement quality, martial arts, Japanese culture, supplementation, discipline, purpose, and why so many people are training completely wrong. In this episode, we cover: • Why cardiovascular fitness and VO₂ max are among the strongest predictors of longevity • Why strength training becomes more important as we age • Why most people destroy themselves in training instead of training intelligently • The truth about GLP-1 drugs including Ozempic and Wegovy • The impact of ultra-processed foods, emulsifiers, and artificial ingredients • Why protein matters, but fibre and gut health may matter even more • Why Japanese culture produces some of the healthiest and longest-living people in the world • The psychology behind obesity, binge eating, and sustainable transformation • The role of supplements including creatine, omega-3, magnesium, taurine, NMN, and vitamin D • Why movement quality and martial arts build real-world athleticism • Why success without health ultimately means very little One of the most powerful moments in the episode: “If someone steps out of a Ferrari but they’re unhealthy… people don’t truly see that as success anymore.” About James Cooper James Cooper is the founder of BTX, a performance-focused gym in Hampstead, North London. He studied nutrition at King’s College London and has over two decades of experience in strength training, body transformation, martial arts, and performance coaching.

You’re Moving Wrong — And It’s Shortening Your Healthspan (Most People Are)

You’re Moving Wrong — and it’s shortening your healthspan (most people are) In this episode of the LiveMore Podcast, I sit down with Dr Lisa Corsa, Doctor of Physiotherapy and founder of Premier Therapy Solutions in Boca Raton, Florida. Dr Corsa flew from Miami to London to record this conversation — and what she shares will completely change how you think about movement, injury, and longevity. Because you can optimise your biomarkers, train consistently, and follow every protocol… But if your body isn’t structurally sound, it will catch up with you. In this episode, we explore:  • Why running isn’t bad for your knees when done properly  • Why most gait analyses are incomplete  • The real drivers of chronic pain and failed surgeries  • How poor biomechanics leads to long-term joint damage  • Why movement quality is one of the strongest predictors of longevity  Key takeaway: Longevity isn’t just about living longer — it’s about maintaining the ability to move, perform, and function for decades. And most people are neglecting the very thing that determines that. About Dr Lisa Corsa Dr Lisa Corsa is a Doctor of Physiotherapy, manual osteopath, and founder of Premier Therapy Solutions, a private concierge clinic in Boca Raton, Florida. Her work focuses on identifying the root cause of pain through biomechanics and structural alignment, helping patients avoid unnecessary surgeries and restore full function. 🌐 https://www.premiertherapysolutions.com [https://www.premiertherapysolutions.com] Connect with me LiveMore Podcast Instagram: @biohackrob All links: https://linktr.ee/BioHackRob [https://linktr.ee/BioHackRob]

This is a raw and unfiltered conversation about what it really means to struggle, and what it takes to begin rebuilding.  We also explore the deeper connection between mental and physical health — including the role of exercise, sleep, routine, dopamine, social media, and the pressures of modern life.  Because you can have the physique, the career, the money, the habits, and even the biomarkers — but if your mind isn’t in a good place, none of it means what it should.  This is one of the most important conversations I’ve had on the podcast.  If this episode helps even one person feel less alone, start a difficult conversation, or ask for help — it has done its job.   🔍 In this episode, we cover:  *  Joey’s experience with depression, OCD, addiction, and suicidal thoughts  *  Why men often suffer in silence  *  The difference between looking okay and actually being okay  *  Addiction beyond drugs and alcohol (food, dopamine, compulsive behaviours)  *  The role of exercise in mental health — and why small steps matter  *  Sleep, routine, and nervous system regulation  *  Social media, comparison, and the modern mental health crisis  *  Identity, shame, and the masks people wear  *  What it really means to live well    📲 Connect with Joey:   Instagram: @joeykolirin     🎙️ About the LIVEMORE Podcast   Conversations at the intersection of longevity, mental health, and peak human performance — exploring what it truly means to live well.     🤝 If this resonated with you:   *  Follow the podcast  *  Share this episode with someone who may need it  *  Leave a review to help us reach more people
