From finding a new sport in Hyrox, to my stag do in Ibiza with my dad & completing 6 months sober for the first time, there was a lot of things that happened the past year, but what did I learn from it all?

A couple weeks ago I was asked to speak as part of a Men's Mastery Group ran by my first ever PT Graham Turner discussing some of the main issues I've found that men face in the modern day.

I'm coming at it here from more of a health & fitness angle, with that being my area of work, so this is my thoughts on what the main issues are that men face in this day and age.

I believe that the number one reason why people fail in their health & fitness goals, is because of their routine & habits.

Over the last few months I have been researching & working to find the best daily habits & routines to optimise physical & mental health.

From my research, I have put together a 28 day program that I believe can help you make those positive habits & routines become an automatic process which can intern lead you on your way to better physical & mental health long term.

I have called the program the ’28 Day Routine Reset’ & it starts January 2nd.

Alcohol & drugs are seen as societal norms in this day and age. People even react with concern if you choose not to drink at a social occasion… this is something that still astonishes me and I believe there is an underlying issue in todays society with people living for the weekend and just getting through the working week to then escape their issues through drugs and alcohol on a weekend.

In todays podcast I sit down with personal trainer & ex pro footballer Alex Kitchen to discuss his issues with alcohol & drug addiction. Alex was very open about his whole situation and what he went through, including his time down at Sporting Chance Clinic after his drink & drug abuse went too far.
