In this inspiring episode, I sit down with the remarkable Dr. Dan Rubin—a Harvard-trained PhD, former NIH immunologist, transformational speaker, and author of Living with Purpose. At 85, Dr. Dan continues to coach, speak, and live with extraordinary vitality and intention.

We explore his incredible journey from cancer researcher to retirement reimagined—finding renewed purpose through coaching, teaching, and storytelling in his 70s and 80s. His message? “The best is yet to come.”

Whether you're navigating your own midlife shift, caring for ageing parents, or simply want to feel more alive in your daily life—this episode is for you.

🧠 Key Topics Covered:

• Dr. Dan’s story: from scientist to speaker and coach
• Finding purpose later in life
• The power of listening to your inner voice (and trusting it)
• How gratitude became the foundation of his life and legacy
• Why ageing doesn’t mean giving up—and how to reclaim joy at any age
• The importance of intergenerational relationships

I honestly can’t believe we’ve made it to 100 episodes of the Prescribing Lifestyle podcast!

This episode is a little different. I’m taking a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate—not just this milestone, but everything it represents: consistency, growth, courage, and the beautiful community we’ve built together 💚

Over the past year, I’ve shared conversations with inspiring guests and stories from my clinic that show how lifestyle changes—like nutrition, movement, sleep, mindset and breath—can truly transform lives.

But this week, I want to focus on something we don’t do enough: celebrating ourselves.

✨ In this episode, I talk about:

– Why celebration isn’t just fun—it’s necessary for motivation and mindset

– The 5 ways I celebrate my wins (and how you can too—no fancy party required!)

– Invisible wins that matter just as much as big ones

– The inner critic we all face—and why I keep showing up anyway

– What this podcast means to me, and what’s still to come

🎧 Whether you’ve made one small change, stood up for yourself, or simply kept going on a hard day—that’s worth acknowledging.

💬 I challenge you: What’s one thing you’ve achieved lately that you haven’t celebrated yet? Share it. Say it out loud. I’ll celebrate with you.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening. And thank you for prescribing lifestyle, right alongside me.

— Dr. Avi

I can’t believe it’s been a full year since I launched this podcast and I’m so grateful you’ve been part of this journey. To celebrate, I’m bringing you a powerful and inspiring episode that reminds us why we keep showing up for our health.

In this episode, I chat with Health Coach Joff, a rehabilitation nurse and primal health coach who shares his incredible transformation story. From metabolic syndrome, weight struggles, and burnout — to a 40kg weight loss, renewed energy, and purpose — Joff has truly turned his life around.

You’ll hear how traditional advice didn’t work for him, and how he found healing through low carb and carnivore nutrition, breathwork, cold exposure, and the mindset shift that saved his life. This is an honest, powerful, and deeply relatable episode — especially if you’ve ever felt stuck or hopeless in your health journey.

In this episode, we talk about:

🍽️ Joff’s diagnosis at 17 that changed everything

🧠 Mental health, sleep apnoea, and why he felt like giving up

💥 The moment that pushed him to try low carb (and eventually carnivore)

💪 How he lost 40kg without counting calories

🌿 What happened when he cut out sugar and processed carbs

🧊 Cold exposure, breathwork, and new lifestyle habits

👩‍⚕️ His new program helping nurses transform their metabolic health
