Best of 2021: Health and Fitness Principles Edition

I've had some amazing conversations with people who inspire me and bring value to my life during the course of this podcast. In these "Best Of" editions, I'm bringing those conversations back to life for your listening pleasure.

In this episode, I speak with a number of people whom I consider a mentor in one way or another, and have taught me, or reminded me of many of the principles I have been developing and living by over the years.

Luke Leaman starts the conversation with an explanation of the autonomic nervous system, and why it is important to understand how that works.

Simon Hall then picks up the conversation with his take on why looking after your physical and mental health is more important than anything else you will do, and how that needs to tie in with your value system.

Andrew Pap and I discuss how our identity has been shaped by working in the fitness industry, how we've dealt with injuries, growing businesses, prioritising our mental and physical health, and time management strategies we are currently implementing.

Next up, Danny Lennon talks to me about his experience working with weight class athletes, common misconceptions in the combat sports diet industry, and how the metabolism will adapt in a negative manner when exposed to dieting measures for prolonged periods.

We round out the episode with Luke Leaman again, who dives into stress physiology, and the importance of gut health to ensure a healthy organism. A healthy organism is an adaptive organism.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."

The odds were stacked against me:

● Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life

● Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school

● At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach
38+: The next evolution begins
