In this episode, I sit down with Chris Shingles — online health coach, dad of three, and specialist in peri and menopausal women — to unpack the journey that shaped him.

We go deep into:

• How becoming a father at 27 forced him to confront his health

• Building a fitness career from scratch (and the imposter syndrome that came with it)

• Divorce, losing his brother to mental health, and the silent spiral into alcohol

• Why men struggle to open up (and what actually helps)

• Why most women over 35 are stuck in dieting cycles — and what actually works long term

• The truth about quick fixes, weight loss jabs, and sustainable change

This is a raw conversation about responsibility, masculinity, grief, purpose, and what it really takes to rebuild when life hits hard.
