Can a vegan doctor tell you it's okay to eat meat? In Episode 39, Dr Cois takes you from the boundary line of a premiership-winning Aussie Rules club, to a rural Australian birth suite at 3 a.m., to an American Emergency Department, and explains how each room shaped the Two-Tier Blueprint.

Then he gets to your plate. The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission's Planetary Health Diet, built on health evidence alone, suggests about 1 serving of red meat a week and could prevent about 15 million premature deaths a year. Health care is itself a significant polluter, and prevention is climate action. You'll hear what the diet looks like, three common objections prebunked, including the protein question, and one practical swap to make this week.

• You don't need to go vegan: the Planetary Health Diet allows about 1 serving of red meat a week.
• Fundamentals beat gadgets, on the sports field and in your health.
• A primary care physician is the closest thing most people have to a performance team.
• Health care has a large carbon footprint, and prevention shrinks it.
• Your one thing: swap one red meat meal for a legume meal this week.
