Choose Your Hard: Prof. Grant Schofield on The Next Bit Podcast

Choose Your Hard: Prof. Grant Schofield on The Next Bit Podcast Prof. Grant Schofield recently joined The Next Bit Podcast for an hour-long conversation about health, choice, and what it really takes to stay well for longer. The episode centres on the idea behind Grant’s latest book, Choose Your Hard. The premise is simple, and a little confronting: no path through life is easy, and that includes our health. Looking after yourself takes effort. So does living with the consequences of poor health later on. Either way, there’s a hard. The question is which one you choose. Healthspan, not just lifespan A big part of the conversation focuses on the difference between how long we live and how long we live well. Grant makes the case for shifting attention toward healthspan, the years we spend healthy, capable, and independent. It’s a theme that sits at the heart of PREKURE’s work: prevention is about protecting the quality of those years, not just adding to the total. Cutting through nutrition myths Grant and the host also dig into some of the common nutrition beliefs that don’t hold up well, and why getting clear on the evidence matters when so much conflicting advice is out there. Practical steps you can take now The episode isn’t just philosophy. Grant talks through practical strategies for improving health across three key areas: what we eat, how we move, and how well we sleep. The message throughout is that small, informed choices made today are what shape the years ahead. Listen to the full episode If you’re looking for a clear, practical reminder of why taking control of your health now is worth the effort, this one’s well worth your time.
