Charlie Arnott: Regenerative Agriculture & The Wisdom of Nature
Charlie is an award-winning grazier from Boorowa, New South Wales, Australia, an educator and passionate advocate for Regenerative Farming practices. Charlie started his Regenerative Farming journey 15 years ago. Previously he and his family had been farming conventionally on their 5,000 hectare property “Hanaminno” for over 35 years, in an industrial high input/ high output farming business model, heavily reliant on pesticides, herbicides and man-made fertilisers. After a series of epiphanies and through education Charlie found the Regenerative Agriculture movement, a movement which reflected his instinctive connection to the land and his ethos of producing quality food for his family and the world.-Keep up to date with Charlie's WorkWebsiteCharlie's Podcast: The Regenerative Journey-Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin

Gary Fettke: Diet, Chronic Disease & Public Health
Dr. Gary Fettke is an Australian Orthopaedic Surgeon with a focus on preventative medicine and nutrition. Gary has concentrated on the role of diet in the development of diabetes, obesity and cancer. He has been speaking out on the combined role of sugar, particularly fructose, refined grains and polyunsaturated oils in the epidemic of inflammation and modern diseases. He has incurred the wrath of Australian regulatory bodies for his stance on public health advice, but he and his wife, Belinda, actively defend the benefits of low carbohydrate dietary patterns. Their ongoing work has uncovered the vested interests and ideologies shaping nutritional guidelines at the policy level in Australia and beyond.-Follow Gary's Worknofructose.comisupportgary.comFacebookTwitter-Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin

Satchin Panda: Circadian Rhythms, Time Restricted Eating & Diabetes
Satchin Panda, PhD is a professor in the Regulatory Biology Laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. His work focuses on chronobiology, the study of the day-night cycles that drive the multifaceted activities of the human body, using genetic, genomic, and biochemical approaches. He is an expert on circadian rhythms and a pioneer in the concept of time-restricted eating, or as it has come to be known, intermittent fasting. -Dr. Panda has been focusing on translating data regarding the impact of circadian rhythms on human health to legislation that protects people from the dangers of circadian disruption. Satchin has been a champion of circadian health and was among the first to identify the role blue light plays in circadian signalling. He has been spreading the word about the importance of maintaining strong light/dark cycles and is a proponent for circadian friendly architecture and carefully considered rotations for shift-workers.-Follow Satchin's WorkSatchin's LabCircadian AppThe Circadian Code Book-Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin

Robert Prentner: Interface Theory of Perception & Consciousness
Robert Prentner, PhD is a Doctor of Philosophy currently at the Centre for the Future Mind, Florida Atlantic University, where he conducts research in consciousness studies, molecular physics, natural and artificial intelligence, and philosophy. His current project is “Consciousness and the Emergence of Objects”. Robert and colleagues have been working to explain their theory of consciousness in a mathematically consistent manner. Their group has published several papers on what they refer to as the Interface Theory of Perception using evolutionary game theory and complex mathematics to bring precision to their theories. Prentner’s colleague, Donald Hoffman forwarded this ‘Conscious Realism’ to the mainstream in his popular book, “The Case Against Reality” (2019).-The Interface Theory of Perception states simply that the reality we experience with our senses is analogous to the desktop interface on your computer. We may see objects in our world and take for granted that our perceptions of that object are a ‘true’ representation of what’s actually there. But in the Interface Theory of Perception, these objects are merely a useful fiction; an icon that bears no resemblance to the true nature of reality, but one that helps our species live on and propagate our genetic information. Much like how a folder on our computer desktop may appear rectangular and blue, we do not assume for a moment that the contents of that folder are indeed rectangular and blue. In fact, the true nature of our computer interface consists of electric fields, magnetic fields, resistors, voltage toggles and more. If we had to interact with the true nature of our computer desktop, we’d never get any work done. Much like how we pay top dollar for interfaces that simplify this reality in our technology, our perceptual systems have evolved not so that we experience reality as it is, but simply as it’s best for us to perceive it. This theory also exists outside of spacetime, meaning that our place in space and time is also just a very useful fiction.-Follow Robert's WorkWebsiteTed TalkDonald Hoffman's "The Case Against Reality"-Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin
