Running - as well as other sports - can provide moments of transcendence, but it can also become a distraction and an escape from the absurdity of human existence. How can existential philosophy, especially the works of Camus and Nietzsche, help us understand how we slip from running as a life-affirming activity to running as an obsession?
In this episode, John Kaag shares his personal story as a runner and leads us to explore running (and other sports) from an existential philosophical perspective. The specific focus is on Camus's philosophy and the key ideas such as 'the absurd' and 'philosophical suicide' and how we can think of these in the context of our sporting activities.
John Kaag is Professor and Chair of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He is the author of several books including Hiking with Nietzsche: On Becoming Who you Are. Our conversation draws from his recent essay How to Live with Dying published in The American Scholar.

In this first episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen speaks with sleep expert Jin Wen about the fascinating relationship between sleep, stress, and daily well-being. Jin shares her journey from studying stress to focusing on sleep and explains how sleep isn’t just about the number of hours you get—it's about how you feel when you wake up. Drawing on her research, Jin explores the “vicious cycle” of daily stress and poor sleep, showing how one bad night can make it harder to handle stress the next day, trapping people in a cycle of fatigue and anxiety.
Jin also explains the power of subjective sleep assessments, emphasizing that how you perceive your sleep can be as important as the objective data from sleep trackers. She breaks down her research methods, including the use of ecological momentary assessments (EMA), which capture real-time data about participants’ daily experiences. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how sleep influences daily functioning and long-term health.

"Can you really feel active while barely moving? The numbers tell a different story." In this second episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues the conversation with Lotte Arndal, an experienced health coach and gym owner, as she shares the importance of accurate measurement in health coaching. Using advanced tools like Fibion sensors, Lotte demonstrates how many clients often misjudge their physical activity, confusing mental fatigue with real physical exertion. By analyzing clients’ daily activity data, she customizes advice to fit their true energy expenditure, helping them achieve a healthier, balanced lifestyle.
Lotte also reveals how simple lifestyle tweaks - such as moving more during the day rather than focusing solely on gym time - can make a significant impact. She stresses the need for tailored health strategies, especially for those with low muscle mass or those who have struggled with traditional fitness methods. This episode is essential for anyone looking to understand how real data and simple changes can revolutionize personal health coaching.

Ever feel completely exhausted after a long day but realize you’ve barely moved at all?" In this insightful first episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen sits down with Lotte Arndal, a seasoned health coach and gym owner with 25 years of experience, to uncover the surprising disconnect between mental and physical exhaustion. Lotte reveals that many people mistake mental fatigue for physical tiredness, leading them to believe they're more active than they actually are. Through her unique, data-driven approach using activity sensors, Lotte helps clients see the reality of their movement patterns - and how simple changes can dramatically improve their health and energy levels.
Lotte also shares her philosophy of keeping health simple and balanced. She discusses how trendy fitness fads, extreme diets, and biohacking often confuse people, pulling them away from sustainable, long-term health habits. Instead, she promotes everyday movement, normal eating, and a common-sense approach to well-being. This episode is a must for anyone looking to break free from complicated health trends and find practical, science-based ways to improve both physical and mental health.

"Is walking to school really enough to tackle childhood obesity?" In this third episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen and Dr. Rob Noonan explore the complex issue of childhood obesity and the social factors that contribute to it. Dr. Noonan shares surprising findings from his research, showing that while children from deprived areas are more likely to walk to school, they are also more likely to struggle with obesity. This challenges the assumption that simply increasing physical activity, like walking, is enough to combat childhood obesity. The discussion delves into the deeper, systemic issues at play, such as poor diets, reduced access to sports, and the social environments in which children live.
The conversation further explores how behavioral interventions alone won’t solve the issue of childhood obesity, as they fail to address the underlying causes - economic, psychological, and environmental factors. Dr. Noonan calls for a broader, policy-driven approach that creates healthier environments for children, rather than just relying on individual behavior change. If you're interested in how policy, environment, and health are interconnected, this episode provides a comprehensive look at the root causes of childhood obesity and what needs to be done to tackle it effectively.

The Role of Capitalism in Shaping Public Health: Dr. Rob Noonan’s (Pt2)
Monday Sep 23, 2024
Monday Sep 23, 2024
"How do you change a society's values when capitalism rewards consumption and individualism?" In this second part of the episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen and Dr. Rob Noonan dive deeper into the societal drivers behind health inequality, focusing on the UK and comparing it to other nations like the Scandinavian countries. Dr. Noonan explains how the core values of a society - competition, productivity, and consumption - shape not only individual behavior but also public policy. These systemic values, deeply rooted in the current economic structure, influence everything from public health funding to welfare systems, often leaving health inequalities unaddressed.
The conversation then shifts to the power of education as a tool to reshape these societal values. Dr. Noonan highlights the need for critical thinking and media literacy in the face of overwhelming misinformation, particularly as artificial intelligence and social media complicate the information landscape. He discusses the limitations of the current education system, which often reinforces capitalist values, and suggests that real change will require a bottom-up approach, driven by public support and grassroots efforts. This thought-provoking episode offers a deep examination of the social and political factors that continue to hinder progress in public health and well-being.

Economic Growth at the Cost of Well-being – Dr. Rob Noonan (Pt1)
Friday Sep 20, 2024
Friday Sep 20, 2024
"Our obsession with economic growth might be making us sicker—what can we do about it?" In this powerful first episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen sits down with Dr. Rob Noonan, an expert in health and education, to explore the critical link between capitalism and public health. Dr. Noonan explains how our relentless focus on economic growth has led to widespread public health issues like obesity, mental health struggles, and increasing health inequalities. As more people consume ultra-processed foods, work longer hours, and face social deprivation, society's overall well-being is declining—and it's time to rethink our approach.
Drawing from his book Capitalism, Health, and Well-being, Dr. Noonan calls for a shift in economic priorities to focus on creating healthier environments, rather than simply growing the economy. He highlights the need to tackle the social determinants of health, showing how where we live, work, and grow plays a crucial role in our health outcomes. This episode sheds light on the systemic drivers of poor health and why individual responsibility isn’t enough to solve these societal issues. If you're interested in the intersection of health, economics, and social justice, this episode is not to be missed.
