The Method - Health in the Real World

Are longevity therapies really effective, or are the super rich just wasting their money?

Dr Greg Potter and Charlie Edmondson explore the world of luxury longevity clinics, from stem cell treatments and IV drips to whole-body cryotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. They unpack the thinking behind these longevity treatments, the risks and the steep costs, and decide on whether they are worth it, or just a waste of money.

What is The Method - Health in the Real World?

Health advice is everywhere. Cold plunges, macro tracking, strength training, microplastics. Everyone's got an opinion. So what's actually worth your time? That's what this show is for.

Dr Greg Potter is an expert in sleep, nutrition & metabolism. Charlie Edmondson isn’t. She's someone trying to feel better, get better sleep and not get fooled by wellness trends. They work through health topics together, with Charlie asking the questions you’re probably already asking yourself, and Greg cutting through the noise with what the science really says.

This isn't about chasing the next biohack. It's about the long game of building a healthier, longer life without losing your mind trying to optimise every minute of it.

Whether you're just getting curious about your health or you've been deep in it for years, The Method is here to give you advice you can actually trust. Explained by someone who knows, questioned by someone who wants to know too.
