Hello, this is John Vincent and welcome to The John Vincent Podcast, where we explore ancient healing and modern medicine.
It’s all about the best ways – both old and new - to help people (both old and new) to enjoy naturally healthy lives.
We will be looking at the things that modern medicine suggests we should be doing, the things that ancient healing traditions have been doing for a long time, and at the exciting hypotheses from emerging science.
Good health has fascinated me ever since I started and built a business called LEON. We began by asking the question “Why can’t fast food be good food?”
Spoiler alert: It can.
Now I want to explore health in all its dimensions.
We’ll look at the smallest of details, whilst never losing sight of the bigger picture- the picture that shows how all moving components work together to create a whole. And how politics, economics and profit incentives can sometimes derail that harmony.
Founding Leon has given me have access to the world’s leading doctors, scientists, nutritionists, healers and practitioners of indigenous wisdom. What they’ve told me has often blown my mind. But it’s also improved my mind, my body and my life. I’m going to share all this with you and speak to these experts so that they can share what they know with you too.
They have a lot of stories to tell. There is magic in science. And every new answer invites many new questions and possibilities. We will explore these, whilst also doing our best to pin down what we currently know about the things we should be DOING – the action we should be taking to keep us well and help ourselves to heal when we need to.
As the old saying goes, the only wealth is health. Not just physical well-being, but the harmony of body, mind, spirit, and emotion. We’ll explore what it means to be healthy - and how we can best enjoy the full potential of the human experience.
You know what kind of life you want to live. Whatever it is, I want to bring you the wisdom and knowledge of good people who’ll help you do that. I’m excited to have fun doing it, too.
At LEON, we made great food accessible to everyone. I’m now going to do the same with good health—helping as many people as possible, regardless of circumstances. Whether you’re a billionaire or on a tight budget, you deserve this opportunity and I’ll make sure you get it.

In this episode, I am lucky to have spoken to two doctors and pioneers in preventative medicine.
Claire Merifield and Alasdair Scott were doctors in the NHS for years. But after being disillusioned by the medical system, they realised what their patients really needed was preventative, personalised healthcare. So they set up Selph, using their respective expertise to create a system with which they help people get to know their health profiles, risk factors, lifestyle and prevention opportunities through diagnostic testing and health coaching.
Claire Merifield is a microbiome PhD, a London GP and a Breathworks Mindfulness instructor.
Alasdair Scott is a microbiome scientist, former cancer surgeon in the NHS and a researcher with Imperial College.
They cover:
I’m so grateful to Claire and Alasdair who made a brave leap to do the right thing for us, even if it takes a lot of hard work and re-wiring of how we, as a population, are taught to think about our health.
