Nearly 70% of Aussie men over 40 are overweight or obese (by BMI standards) — and while BMI isn’t perfect, it’s a clear signal that too many blokes are carrying more risk than they should.
In this episode, Josh and Kieran kick off the Steak Dinner Podcast Health Trilogy by looking at physical health. We break down four key areas every bloke in midlife should think about:
🍳 Nutrition: Why protein matters, how to swap out servo pies and sugary drinks, and the role of ultra-processed foods.
🏋️ Exercise: What “moderate” really means, why Zone 2 and Zone 5 cardio matter, and the role of resistance training.
😴 Sleep & Recovery: Why alcohol wrecks your deep sleep, the power of routine, and how naps can help without hurting.
🩺 Medical Check-ups: The GP appointments you shouldn’t skip after 40, from blood pressure to bowel screening.
It’s practical, real-world stuff with a side of banter — tools and resources you can actually use to make changes that stick.
