About fitscapades

I went from successful specialist doctor in rural Australia to a homeless addict selling my body for drugs and almost dead to living in full recovery in a three story house 30 meters from the beach with my amazing gorgeous partner, my son, his son, our cat and dog. I am an addict in recovery, my story is quite unique and I didn't live it all only to have it untold as the dusts pass over my grave at the eventual end of my life. I want to give hope to addicts in pain, to their families who worry that true recovery is possible even when you are as bad as I was. I want to try to shift perception in the community that addicts are not a waste of time we are capable of recovery and are not lost causes. I have learned so much and gained so much wisdom walking this pathway to recovery it seems a shame not share this. The lessons I have learned are useful to everyone not just those challenged by addiction.

No criminal penalties for parents, no blanket government ID checks—just “reasonable steps” that force companies to build safer systems, document their methods, and accept penalties when they fail. We walk through how age assurance act...

   How Anti-Trans Politics Became A Blueprint For Control

   Send us a text Start with a question few campaigns want you to ask: why pour half your ad dollars into a topic affecting less than one percent of people? We follow the money, the messages, and the laws to map how anti-trans politics became a blueprint for control—crafted outrage that tests how far a state can reach into private life. From the bathroom panic of 2016 to healthcare bans and executive orders, we unpack the strategy that turned a small, misunderstood community into a proxy for pow...

   Why Transphobia Makes No Sense

   Send us a text What actually changes in your life when someone else lives authentically? We start there and follow the evidence, tracing how medicine shifted from trying to “fix” people to supporting them, and why that change dramatically improves mental health, safety, and quality of life. Along the way, we tackle the loudest myths—bathroom panic, “think of the children,” and chromosome mic drops—with clear explanations, real data, and human stories. As clinicians and citizens, we’ve watche...
