Paul Taylor: Navy Officer, Neuroscientist, Physiologist, Nutritionist, Psychologist... wtf | #287

Yes my beautiful friends this week on Dyl & Friends, we’ve got one of my all-time favourite guests, Paul Taylor.

Paul’s genuinely lived about a thousand lives and he’s only just warming up. He’s a former British Navy Aircrew Officer turned Neuroscientist, Physiologist, and Nutritionist, and he’s now completing a PhD in Applied Psychology. Seriously impressive.

We spoke about his wild time in the military, including some hectic moments as a helicopter search and rescue crewman, and his experience in resistance-to-interrogation training (it's as full on as it sounds).

Paul has spent decades obsessed with one thing: human performance. From flying missions in high-pressure environments to helping the Australian Military build stress-resilient soldiers, his work is all about training the brain and body to thrive under pressure.

In this episode, we dive into the science of stress, resilience, habits, cold exposure, breathwork, leadership, sleep, and why most of us are getting modern life completely backwards.

I rarely listen to my own voice but I've already had a second go at this episode. It was seriously GOOOOD. Enjoy xx
