In this episode of the DOSE podcast, he reflects on his athletics career, including suffering from performance anxiety and his healthy rivalry with Chris Tomlinson. He also discusses his retirement from the sport, his current training regime and how mountain biking has replaced the buzz of competing.

And of course, we had to grill him about his keen interest in cooking and what it felt like to be crowned the winner of Celebrity MasterChef in 2019.

Our next guest on the DOSE Hacking Happiness podcast is the hugely inspiring, Mo Gawdat – the former Chief Business Officer for Google X, who struggled with depression after his son Ali sadly died.

Following this tragedy and after 12 years of research, Mo proposed an algorithm for happiness based on an understanding of how the brain takes in and processes joy and sadness. 

His mission One Billion Happy is to help one billion people become happier as a tribute to his son.

This year, Mo launched a podcast called Slo Mo, believing that slowing down is the only way we can move forward which feels like a relevant message for 2020. 

We couldn’t think of a better guest to help mark mental health awareness day. In this podcast we talk about the role of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins in relation to our happiness, if/how we can recover from a terrible tragedy and if there is ever a “reason” for the event, his opinion on if it's possible to overcome depression and the disturbing truths of exercise addiction.

Our next guest on the DOSE hacking happiness podcast is 90’s icon "Jet" aka Diane Youdale from the hit TV show "Gladiators".

Diane Youdale, otherwise known as “Jet”, was an inspiration to many. All the girls wanted to be her, and heart throbs like Robert Pattinson, among many others, were in love with her. She was known for her signature hair flicks, athletic physique, cartwheels on the podium and her skill at navigating the "hang tough" event - a game of aerial chess.

We talk about her early years as a gymnast, her rise to fame during the show, the extreme highs and dangerous aspects of being a Gladiator - like falling 15ft from "hang tough" and from the top of "the pyramid" that almost left her paralysed. She discusses her transition to retraining as a counsellor and psychotherapist, her relationships both on and off the show and how her attitude to self-care and body image has changed over the years. She also hints at a Gladiators revival 30 years on - a possible reason for the launch of the GladPod podcast hosted by herself and journalist David Blackmore.

Get ready for a trip down memory lane...
