December isn’t just lights, Baileys and bad jumpers – it’s the one time of year when the world actually slows down. Shops shut, routines vanish, opening hours change, kids are off, family are everywhere… and your normal structure disappears.
In this episode I talk about frustration as a double-edged sword – or as I call it, the “Christmas hand grenade”. The same frustration that makes you annoyed you’re not training or eating well can either:
We get into:
If you’re tired of promising yourself “New Year, new me” while spending December in fantasy land, this one’s your wake-up call – and your plan.
This episode breaks down the noisy world of supplements and zooms in on multivitamins – what they genuinely can do, and where people get misled.
Gordy explains why most busy, UK-based adults are likely running low on key nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium and calcium, and how that links to tiredness, poor sleep, brain fog and faster ageing.
He talks about “optimal” blood ranges versus what your GP might call “fine”, and why how you actually feel day to day still matters. Drawing on big studies (COSMOS and JAMA), he frames multivitamins not as magic pills or life-extenders, but as cheap “nutritional insurance” that quietly cover gaps when life is chaotic, food quality dips, and you’re juggling work, kids and stress.
He finishes with practical guardrails: do your own research, check with your GP if you’re on meds/pregnant or have health issues, don’t just buy whatever an influencer peddles, and if you use them, choose a decent-quality product that fits your context rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
In this episode, I unpack a big reason people “fall back into old habits” – and it’s rarely because they’re weak or lack willpower. It’s because the people around them pull them back into what I call “the average” – the majority who don’t prioritise their health, don’t make time for themselves, and feel more comfortable when you stay the same.
We talk about what it really means to move from the majority into the minority – the small group who eat differently, order differently, dress differently, and carry themselves with more confidence. I explain why friends, family and partners can (often unintentionally) sabotage your progress, how to set boundaries without being an arse, and why proper coaching isn’t just “drink more water and check in next week”. I’ll show you how to hold your line, get support, and stay in the minority long enough for your new identity to actually stick – so you don’t keep boomeranging back to your old self.
You’ve heard the line: “Don’t look back, you’re not going that way.”
Sounds motivational. In reality, it’s one of the quickest ways to stay stuck.
In this episode I break down why you must look back if you actually want to move forward.
Not to beat yourself up. Not to stroke your ego.
But to see the evidence.
We get into:
If you feel like you’re spinning in circles, chasing other people’s goals, or stuck in mum-guilt / burnout mode, this one is for you.
You’ll walk away with a clearer idea of:
No fluff. Just you, your evidence, and a plan.
You don’t have a “motivation” problem. You’ve just been making the same bad stew for years and pretending it’ll taste different.
In this episode, I break down:
If you’ve “started again” more times than you can count, this one will make you uncomfortable in the right way.
Social media isn’t neutral. It mirrors what you feed it. In this episode you’ll learn how to take control of your inputs, set realistic targets, and turn your feed into a tool for progress instead of a trigger.
What you’ll hear
Tactics you can apply today
Key questions
Your motivation didn’t vanish—you’re leaking it. In this episode I challenge the default “new hack” mindset (intermittent fasting for menopause, anyone?) and show you why chasing protocols won’t help until you fix foundations: values, habits, and attention.
Quick wins to start today:
Ask yourself: What am I avoiding? What evidence did I produce today for the life I say I value?
In this short, punchy episode I teach you my Fridge Method—a simple planning routine that crushes decision fatigue, saves money, and keeps you on-track with your calories and macros. Here’s the play: open your fridge, list what you already have, and pre-log tomorrow’s meals in your tracking app (MyFitnessPal or my coaching app). In 2 minutes you’ll spot gaps (usually protein), tweak portions, and budget room for the foods you love—without last-minute stress.
I show you how to involve your partner/kids so everyone has input, why this stops food waste, and how it builds the consistency your results depend on. Expect practical examples, safety-first training reminders for this phase, and a weekly cadence—new episode every Tuesday.
Try it tonight, tag me with your most creative (even weird!) combos, and let’s turn “what’s for dinner?” into a non-issue.
I take you back to Yakshal, Afghanistan — the hardest day of my life — and show you how to mine your own past for proof you can do hard things again.
This isn’t war-story theatre. It’s a framework: identify the core that got you through, strip away tactics that no longer fit, and re-apply it to today’s realities.
We cover the SHIFT loop (assess → adapt → apply → review), negative feedback as a safety signal, and how to replace fantasy goals with evidence-based action. You’ll leave with a simple drill to rebuild belief and momentum this week.
What you’ll learn:
In this episode, I break down how hormonal changes — especially through menopause — can wreck mood, motivation, and mental health, and what you can actually do about it.
I cover serotonin, dopamine, gut health, and why your “80/20” approach might be the very thing holding you back.
You’ll learn how to manage emotional crashes, build fulfilment over happiness, and accept change instead of fighting it.
If you’re tired of starting over, feeling off, or losing control of your own body, this one’s for you.
People think routine means being boxed in.
But the truth is, a solid routine gives you space — space to think, train, recover, and live with intention.
Every decision you make costs mental energy.
When your day has structure, you save that energy for what actually matters.
Task:
Write down everything you do in a normal week.
Include work, food prep, travel, gym, kids, social time, phone time — everything.
Now estimate how long each one takes.
That’s your capacity map.
Once you see where your time is really going, you can start to build better habits instead of winging it.
You get lost in the outside world opinions, algorithms, comparisons and your actions drift. This episode pulls you back to what you can actually control: your choices, your plan, your standards.
What you’ll learn:
Quick actions:
Questions to sit with:
In this episode, I get brutally honest about one of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to lose weight or get healthy—recycling the same plan they did years ago. Life changes. Hormones, kids, jobs, stress, setbacks—none of it matches the conditions you once had.
I break down:
You’ll walk away with a simple but hard truth: progress only happens when you start from where you are right now, not from where you wish you were.
In this episode, I break down:
If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll start when things settle down”…
Hit play.
This is your wake-up call.
In this episode, I cut through the fluff around mindset — no journaling hype, no ice bath worship. Just real, uncomfortable truths about why you feel stuck.
We talk:
If you’re tired of motivational clichés and want a way to actually move forward — this one’s for you.
Most people set goals based on hype, not truth.
hey chase what looks good on paper, not what actually matters to them.
And that’s exactly why they keep falling off.
In this episode — recorded raw and unfiltered from the road — I break down the first layer of my SHIFT hierarchy of needs: You.
This isn’t another motivational chat. It’s a full-on challenge to stop bullshitting yourself about what you value... and start living by it.
I’ll walk you through:
This episode isn’t for box-tickers.
It’s for people ready to get unstuck — properly.
Listen while you’re walking, driving, or sitting alone. But whatever you do, don’t just ‘tick it off.’
Take notes. Take action.
Then get ready for the next layer: the stuff that’s really been holding you back.
