Podcast Description
Hello, this is John Vincent and welcome to The John Vincent Podcast, here 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.(The information provided in this podcast is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

How does someone go from homelessness, poverty and violence to selling over 3 million books worldwide?
Number 1 Sunday Times bestselling author Vex King reveals the single mindset shift that ended his victim story, why your sense of purpose only ever exists in the present moment, and the “spiritual ego” trap that keeps so many seekers stuck. Recorded live, this is one of the most honest conversations John Vincent has had on self-love, healing, manifestation and what it really means to live a whole life.
Vex King is the Number 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Good Vibes, Good Life, Healing Is the New High, Closer to Love and Things No One Taught Us About Love. A mind coach and one of the leading voices in modern personal development, Vex rose to fame on Instagram before his debut, Good Vibes, Good Life, went on to sell over 2.5 million copies, get translated into 40 languages, spend 132 weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list and land at number 18 on the Sunday Times Top 100 books of the past 50 years. Born into hardship after losing his father as a baby, he turned his life around to build an audience of millions.
In this episode you’ll learn:
◼ The mindset shift that ended his victim story, and why seeing yourself as a victim keeps your life stuck
◼ Why your purpose only exists in the present moment, and how chasing it in the future is the reason you can’t find it
◼ The “sunshine” truth that means nothing inside you is ever actually missing
◼ Why he walked away from TV shows, lucrative courses and even an approach from OnlyFans to stay aligned with who he is
◼ How to tell genuine, nourishing excitement apart from the empty dopamine spike
◼ The difference between passion and anger, and why anger never takes you anywhere good
◼ How to spot the “spiritual ego” in yourself before it traps you
