In our very first episode, we sit down with @tomeasthamnutrition. Tom Eastham is a UK-based nutrition coach who specialises in helping busy professionals lose fat, gain energy, and feel more in control of their health—without extreme diets or rigid plans. Drawing from his own journey as a coach, dad, and former athlete, Tom brings a refreshingly realistic and compassionate approach to health. His coaching focuses on long-term behaviour change, helping clients build simple systems around food, training, mindset, and recovery—so they can show up better in every area of life. Tom is the creator of the Peak Performance Method, a holistic coaching framework that’s helped hundreds of people finally break free from the all-or-nothing mindset and build results that last.

We cover:

• Our relationship with father figures and how that shapes our lives
• Coming back from injury and how to find your Plan 
• Talent versus graft, what true sacrifice means
• Setting yourself up for success and leaving behind old school ideas that only intense and harsh environments create a strong mindset
• How being healthy should be for the long-term and is about much more than calorie restriction
• Understanding that we were built to consume and that restriction is sometimes not the best option
• What food is actually healthy, do we need supplements at all, and should we just be eating like our grandparents did?

If you're a coach, business owner, or simply someone passionate about transformation — this one’s for you.
