The Proof with Simon Hill Ask me anything #1 | The Proof with Simon Hill, Msc, Bsc
Welcome to the very first episode of a brand new format - something a little more relaxed, more personal, and more conversational.
Think of this as us sitting on the couch or going for a long walk together. No script. No structure. Just your questions, and my honest thoughts.
In this episode, I answer your voice notes and DMs - covering:
- Intro (00:00)
- How Can New Fathers Balance Fitness and Diet with a Busy Life? (02:20)
- What Are the Risks and Benefits of Methylene Blue? (12:20)

- Why Do Some Plant-Based Eaters Still Have High Cholesterol? (19:52)

- What’s the Future of Personalised Nutrition? (40:16)
- What’s the Most Embarrassing Travel Story Simon Has Shared? (44:33)
- What Does “Bogan” Mean in Australian Slang? (47:49)
- How Much Omega-3 Do You Really Need Daily? (50:06)
- Does Creatine Supplementation Harm Your Kidneys? (56:10)

- Can the Power of Belief Affect Your Health Outcomes? (01:03:05)
- What’s the Funniest Listener Question and Final Thoughts? (01:04:11)
Some serious, some silly - but all of it real.
