Project 100 with Mark Bouris

In this episode of Project 100, I sit down with one of Australia's leading cardiothoracic surgeons to understand what's actually happening inside your heart, what your cholesterol numbers really mean, and why the gap between men and women in heart disease outcomes is more serious than most people realise. This is the conversation that will change how you think about what you're doing to your body right now — not in 30 years' time.

Dr Stacy Sims is one of the world's leading exercise physiologists and nutrition scientists specialising in women's health, and she joins Project 100 to explain why the science women have been given is largely based on male data — and what that means for how women should actually train, eat, and protect their healthspan.
From the cellular differences between the sexes, to perimenopause, creatine, protein timing, Alzheimer's risk, and why sleep beats everything else — this is a conversation every woman (and the people who love them) needs to hear.

We also cover:
Progressive overload explained simply
Compound vs isolation exercises
The best rep ranges for building muscle

Tim Piatowski is one of Australia's leading researchers on peptides and enhancement drugs, running the world's first steroid-checking trial and service.
In this conversation, we cover everything from what peptides actually are to the underground markets driving their use across Australia. Tim explains the science behind popular compounds like BPC-157 and GHK-Cu, the risks of unregulated products, and why Australia's regulatory approach is pushing people toward dangerous illicit markets. We also explore the potential for peptides in healthy ageing, injury recovery, and why our government's silence on this growing trend is creating more problems than solutions.
We speak about:
• What peptides are and how they work as signalling molecules
• BPC-157 for tissue healing and inflammation reduction
• GHK-Cu copper peptides for collagen synthesis and skin health
• Growth hormone releasing peptides like CJC-1295 and tesamorelin
• The contamination crisis in illicit enhancement drugs
• Legal pathways vs underground markets in Australia
• How peptides could transform healthy ageing and falls prevention

• Why women lose 10% muscle mass every decade after 30 and how to stop it
• The five compound movements every woman should master for longevity
• Post-workout nutrition timing that actually builds muscle (not just burns calories)
• How strength training during menopause can reverse hormonal decline
• Why the Ozempic generation is setting themselves up for metabolic disaster
