Optimisation Culture - Lifemaxxing, Meaning and What's Next For Men's Therapy Hub
<p>Welcome to Episode 37 of <a href="https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">No Man's an Island</a> – and the final episode of Season One.</p><br><p>The episode begins with a discussion about a viral clip from entrepreneur and podcast host Steven Bartlett, which sparks a broader conversation about optimisation culture, wellness trends and the pressure many men feel to constantly improve themselves. Chris and Jett explore the rise of biohacking, productivity culture, longevity obsessions and the growing belief that every aspect of life must be measured, tracked and maximised.</p><br><p>Together they examine what can be lost when life becomes a performance project. The conversation touches on perfectionism, burnout, workaholism, body image, masculinity, social comparison and the fear of not being enough. They explore how anxiety often sits beneath many forms of self-improvement and why purpose, connection and enjoyment may be more important than chasing the perfect sleep score, body composition or productivity metric.</p><br><p>The second half of the episode focuses on the future of Men's Therapy Hub. Chris shares updates on the growth of the platform, the decision to invest in a completely new website and plans to expand into the US market. Jett discusses the opportunities and challenges of launching Men's Therapy Hub in America, as well as the wider vision of creating a community where therapists can learn more about working with men and where male clients can more easily find support.</p><br><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Men's Therapy Hub Directory:</p><p><a href=" https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/therapist" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/therapist</a></p><p>Chris Hemmings:</p><p> <a href="https://chrishemmings.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://chrishemmings.co.uk</a></p><p>Dr. Jett Stone</p><p><a href="https://jettstonephd.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jettstonephd.com</a></p><p>Follow Men's Therapy Hub:</p><p> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/menstherapyhub" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/menstherapyhub</a></p><br><p>Thank you for supporting Season One of No Man's an Island.

Yoga for Men – Flexibility, Mental Health and Finding Strength with Jake Panasevich
<p>Welcome to Episode 36 of No Man's an Island – a podcast powered by <a href="https://menstherapyhub.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Men's Therapy Hub</a>, a directory of male therapists for male clients.</p><br><p>In this episode, Dr Jett Stone speaks with Jake Panasevich, a yoga teacher, health science journalist, podcast host and former Division I collegiate wrestler whose journey into yoga began after years of injuries, chronic pain and an identity crisis following the end of his wrestling career.</p><br><p>Jake shares how yoga became a turning point in his life, helping him recover physically while also rebuilding his sense of self. Together, Jett and Jake explore the connection between physical flexibility and psychological flexibility, discussing how many men become trapped by rigid ideas of masculinity, performance and identity. They examine how yoga can create opportunities for men to reconnect with their bodies, process emotions and develop greater self-awareness.</p><br><p>The conversation looks at why so many men avoid yoga, the barriers that stop them attending classes and how male-only spaces can help create a sense of safety, community and belonging. Jake explains why pain, injury and health scares often become the catalyst that brings men to yoga and how many discover benefits that extend far beyond physical fitness.</p><br><p>Jett and Jake also discuss depression, anxiety and the growing evidence supporting yoga as a tool for mental wellbeing. They explore mindfulness, breathwork, emotional regulation, social connection and the ways yoga may help men develop resilience both physically and psychologically. The conversation touches on identity, vulnerability, self-acceptance, performance culture and why learning when to slow down can be just as important as learning when to push forward.</p><br><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Yoga With Jake:</p><p> <a href="https://yogawithjake.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://yogawithjake.com</a></p><p>Instagram:</p><p> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yogawithjake" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/yogawithjake</a></p><p>Jett Stone:</p><p><a href="https://jettstonephd.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jettstonephd.com</a></p><p>Episode on Men's Therapy Hub:</p><p><a href="https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/yoga-for-men-flexibility-mental-health-and-finding-strength-with-jake-panasevich/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/yoga-for-men-flexibility-mental-health-and-finding-strength-with-jake-panasevich/</a></p><br><p><a href=" https://menstherapyhub.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Men's Therapy Hub UK Directory</a></p><br><p><a href="https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">No Man's an Island - podcast page</a></p><br><p><strong>Follow:</strong></p><p>🎥 YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@menstherapyhub" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@menstherapyhub</a></p><p>📸 Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/menstherapyhub/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/menstherapyhub/</a></p><p>💼 LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/menstherapyhub/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/menstherapyhub/</a></p><br><p>🎵 Music: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/02XiEhWcgjotsEyvC1o8Pa?si=Jl_mTFQQSGGwJQuHISlENA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Raindear</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Progressive Masculinity – Boys, Role Models and the Future of Masculinity with Mike Nicholson
<p>Welcome to Episode 35 of No Man’s an Island – a podcast powered by Men’s Therapy Hub, a directory of male therapists for male clients.</p><br><p>In this conversation, Chris Hemmings speaks with Mike Nicholson, founder and director of Progressive Masculinity, an organisation delivering workshops in schools across the UK focused on boys, masculinity and emotional wellbeing.</p><br><p>Before founding Progressive Masculinity, Mike spent 20 years working as a teacher. During that time, he became increasingly aware of how many boys were struggling silently with pressure, shame, hopelessness and rigid expectations around masculinity. Together, Chris and Mike explore boys’ mental health, masculinity, emotional literacy, rites of passage and the growing sense of hopelessness many young men feel about the future.</p><br><p>They discuss why boys often struggle to talk openly, the impact of social media and online influencers, why male role models matter and how schools can better support boys without shaming or attacking them.</p><br><p>They also explore working-class identity, fatherlessness, pornography, suicide ideation, youth culture, accountability, vulnerability and why boys need spaces where they feel psychologically safe enough to be honest.</p><br><p>This episode is a conversation about masculinity, education and the importance of giving boys the language, community and role models they need to become healthy men.</p><br><p>You can find Mike and Progressive Masculinity here:</p><p> <a href="https://progressivemasculinity.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://progressivemasculinity.co.uk</a></p><p>You can find Chris here:</p><p> <a href="https://chrishemmings.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://chrishemmings.co.uk</a></p><p>Episode page on Men's Therapy Hub:</p><p><a href="https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/progressive-masculinity-boys-role-models-and-the-future-of-masculinity-with-mike-nicholson/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/progressive-masculinity-boys-role-models-and-the-future-of-masculinity-with-mike-nicholson/</a></p><br><p><br></p><p><a href=" https://menstherapyhub.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Men's Therapy Hub UK Directory</a></p><br><p><a href="https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">No Man's an Island - podcast page</a></p><br><p><strong>Follow:</strong></p><p>🎥 YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@menstherapyhub" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@menstherapyhub</a></p><p>📸 Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/menstherapyhub/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/menstherapyhub/</a></p><p>💼 LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/menstherapyhub/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/menstherapyhub/</a></p><br><p>🎵 Music: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/02XiEhWcgjotsEyvC1o8Pa?si=Jl_mTFQQSGGwJQuHISlENA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Raindear</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
