Welcome to the show! Here we'll be talking about fitness, nutrition, and the mental side of fitness. Expect topics like strength training, weight loss and calling out fitness BS!
In this episode, I break down the latest noise around Joe Wicks and protein bars and why telling people a snack will give them cancer, strokes, or an early death is, frankly, really stupid.
We get into:
The rise of ultra-processed foods (now 56% of the UK diet) and what that really means for health.
Why protein bars aren’t miracle foods, but also aren’t poison, they can actually help with adherence and behaviour change.
How fear-mongering fuels disordered eating, which has skyrocketed from 1 in 20 adults in 2007 to around 1 in 6 by 2019.
The role of cost of living and why UPFs are often the cheapest, most accessible calories.
Why fortification matters and how some processed foods actually help prevent nutrient deficiencies.
What actually works if you want a healthier relationship with food (hint: it’s not black-and-white “good vs bad” rules).
This episode is all about cutting through the noise, ditching the scare tactics, and talking honestly about food in a way that actually helps.
👉 If you’ve ever felt confused by headlines or guilty about the foods you eat, this one’s for you.

Do you need tough love? | Ep022
Grace without grit won’t get you far...
Grit without grace won’t get you far...
Giving yourself grace means treating yourself with kindness, compassion, and understanding, during difficult times or after making mistakes, rather than demanding perfection or punishing yourself
Having grit is a combination of passion and perseverance when things suck and setbacks happen
It's a trait of mental toughness and courage that involves maintaining sustained effort, rather than focusing on immediate rewards.
Grace is the kindness
Grit is the follow through
You should have both for long-term change
The next momentum kickstart opens January 2026
