In the mid 1960s, Alexis Mardas met John Lennon from The Beatles, and the self-professed inventor made an immediate impression. With outlandish ideas like an artificial Sun, paint that could change colour or a force field that surrounded the Beatles' homes for security, he soon found himself head of Apple Electronics. But just how many of these whacky ideas came to fruition?

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to osteopath and running enthusiast Matt Stewart for a wide-ranging, evidence-informed conversation that begins with tendinopathy—its underlying pathophysiology, why it develops, and what effective treatment actually looks like beyond generic rehabilitation.From there, the discussion broadens to explore how stress and inactivity influence tissue health, load tolerance, and recovery, affecting not only clinical populations but athletes who may otherwise be training consistently and “doing everything right.” They also unpack the role of the brain in pain perception, including how pain can be up-regulated or dampened, and why this understanding is critical for both injury management and performance.Throughout the conversation, Matt shares how his interest in ancestral and evolutionary foundations has shaped his clinical approach, offering a framework that bridges modern sports medicine, osteopathy, and real-world movement.This episode will appeal to clinicians, coaches, athletes, and anyone interested in how the body adapts to load and stress over time.Links mentioned in website:Mark Sisson - Archetypal Rest Postures videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bYxDcyoTpADarryl Edwards,https://www.primalplay.comMatt's links clinic website https://unityosteopathy.co.nzClinic Instagram @unity_osteoRunning related @running_osteoMatt Stewart is a highly experienced osteopath with more than 25 years in clinical practice.
