The InnerSight Podcast is hosted by Dr Rudy Bosch and Dr Shaun McQueen, both medical doctors. Their passion for early health intervention led them to found InnerSight. InnerSight helps people make informed, data-driven decisions about their health and put a longevity strategy in place, so they can act before disease sets in, rather than after.
These episodes feature conversations with RunningSmart founder and biokineticist Hannes Swanepoel.
VO₂ max testing is a powerful tool for understanding your current fitness and tracking your healthspan over time. Hannes joins the InnerSight podcast to talk about what VO₂ max is, how a test is run, and why it matters for longevity. They also cover how aerobic and anaerobic thresholds are identified, what the measurements tell you, and how to use the results.
Muscle is one of the strongest predictors of how well, and how long, we live. In this episode Hannes takes a practical approach: how to assess where you are, what needs to improve, and how training should change across different ages and abilities.
Rudy and Shaun welcome Hannes back to talk about the fundamentals of running: starting from scratch and building up to a first 5K. They cover injury prevention, how the body adapts to training and the role of running shoes. Later they look at the technology used to analyse and improve running performance, for beginners and elite athletes alike.
