Interviews

Dr. Peter Brukner is one of Australia’s most decorated sports medicine physicians. He is former head of medical and performance at Liverpool FC, team doctor for Cricket Australia, Cathy Freeman’s doctor at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and now one of the most credible voices in the low-carb and diabetes reversal space.

In 2012, at 60 years old and working in Liverpool, Brukner had a fatty liver, high triglycerides, elevated insulin, and a strong family history of type 2 diabetes. He tried a low-carb diet for 90 days. He lost 13 kilograms. Every blood marker normalised. The fatty liver (present for a decade) was gone.

What followed was a complete reorientation of his career: founding Sugar by Half, writing the bestselling ‘A Fat Lot of Good’, developing the Defeat Diabetes program, and becoming one of the most persistent critics of dietary guidelines that he believes are built on fraudulent science.

This is a wide-ranging, evidence-dense conversation covering the politics of how fat got demonised, why the medical system structurally cannot update itself, the real mechanism behind type 2 diabetes, the legitimate and illegitimate uses of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, athlete nutrition, injury recovery, and where AI is headed in medicine.

Jackie Bollen is a physiotherapist and brain balance clinician based in Wodonga, Australia. She runs Reflecting Health, a holistic allied health clinic offering physio, speech therapy, and occupational therapy, with a particular focus on neurodiverse populations and root-cause health.

In this conversation we go deep on internal work, hemispheric brain dominance, primitive reflex retention, why genuine people are genuinely rare, and the 11th-hour self-sabotage pattern that kills most meaningful change in our lives.

Jackie also diagnoses Matt live on camera: head tilt, eye dominance, nostril asymmetry, forehead tone, and the results are uncomfortably accurate.

Rupert Degas is a professional actor, voice artist and impressionist who has appeared in thousands of film, television, stage, animation and advertising roles. Without realising it, you have already heard his voice in a film, animation, tv show or video game. He is a vocal chameleon.

In this interview he makes the argument for the ‘court jester’ – the only one permitted to tell the king that he is wearing no clothes. Rupert believes in the role of comedy in a healthy society, and that accents and impersonations of different races is not ‘racist’, but a celebration of the diversity of humanity.

Dr Brendan Moloney believes that parallel movements ‘are inevitable’ as governments and institutions fail the people they are meant to serve.

Voice for Victoria’s Emily Coltraine returns to Discernable to teach us why promises of ‘free stuff’ keeps winning elections, why it won’t work long term, how to solve Victoria’s spiking crime crisis, and how we should think about immigration, assimilation, and multiculturalism.

Plus, machetes.

Socialist ideas are taking hold in Australia as young people retaliate against a system they feel doesn’t support them, and whether deliberately or by stealth, the momentum to rewrite the social contract is rising.

This is the debate between two leaders in political thought: Jordan Dittloff (Libertarian) and Daniel Lopez (lecturer, editor at Jacobin, organiser for the Victorian Socialists.

Sadly, the socialist speaker withdrew their attendance just before the live event.

What followed is Matt grappling with his socialist sympathies as a renter and criticism of a world where the deck is increasingly stacked against young people, versus Jordan who was willing to engage deeply on the issues to make the case that socialism will only deepen Australia’s woes.

Adam Craig is a barrister from Victoria, Australia. Growing up in a Labor voting family, he was quickly disabused of that notion when he worked in Canberra for the Australian Federal Government.

Adam now believes that Australia should be ‘broken up’ into a competing set of jurisdictions, and that tax in Australia is out of control, wielded by a government that can do nothing properly.

This conversation went in many directions, exploring the use of AI in self-transformation as Adam opened up about his personal life and path to becoming a legal professional.

What is driving Australia’s housing crisis? Do we even have a ‘crisis’? Or is it only a crisis for some (ie renters)?

Wendy Chamberlain is a real estate agent and property buyer’s advocate. She deals with buying and selling every day and in this interview spills the secrets on Australia’s real estate industry.

She believes that government manipulation of the market combined with human greed are corrupting a sector that was once a much fairer and more level playing field.

Can you control the weather? Cloud seeding (making it rain) has been demonstrated from as early as 1946 and in heavy practice since the 1960s.

But what about modifying winds? Temperatures? Clouds? Just how far can we go?

David Miles educates us on the novel weather modification service his company, Atmospherica, provides commercially. For a guaranteed, fully refundable price, his company modifies the weather. It may mean bringing a specific amount of rain within a specific time frame, it may mean redirecting major storm systems away from populated areas, or it may mean ‘dialing down’ a catastrophic bushfire disaster.

In this interview, I probed David on how his proprietary technology works, and whether it can be falsified and scientifically proven or not.
