Poor sleep troubles many of us, yet an often overlooked part of the puzzle is our sleep posture. In this episode we talk to Sleep Posture Expert James Leinhardt about the importance of night time postural care and the impact on our overall health.

James has spent 10+ years helping the critically injured, the chronically ill, and the in-firm and has learnt a key fact.

Whether it comes to complex neurological patients, elite athletes, home office workers, and everyone in the middle, the impact of sleep quality, and specifically what we sleep on, can’t be underestimated.

We learnt some fascinating facts and we’re sure you will too!

On today’s episode we’re talking about going fast vs going slow. Specifically, the benefits of taking our time to reach our goals. Quick fixes are addictive but none of us will become the best version of ourselves if we rush the process. 

It takes time to transform our habits, behaviours and self identity to the point where we can sustain the results we seek with ease. We hope you find this episode insightful.

In this episode we speak to the truly inspiring Todd Crandell. 

Todd spent 13-years in the trenches of drug addiction and alcoholism destroying his mind, body and relationships using heroin, cocaine, alcohol and in his words - every prescription drug he could get his hands on. He was homeless and suicidal. But, after his third arrest, he had a moment of clarity and quit his addictions - going cold turkey. 

From that point on Crandell took back control of his life. Since sobriety, he's raced over 100 IRONMAN and Ultraman events in 15 countries and six continents. He’s also set up an organisation Racing for Recovery  which helps people all over the world overcome addiction through healthy and holistic living — it's a new approach to sobriety and an alternative to the traditional programmes.

Todd is also an author, speaker and filmmaker and we’re sure you’re going to find this episode both enlightening and inspirational.

Well you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone. What we used to do in our 20s and 30s no longer works and that can be really frustrating. More often than not we see midlifers doing the wrong things, that aren’t tailored to the unique challenges we face at midlife.

We’ll also share tips on how to start making progress, because we can promise you, although it’s harder to lose weight at midlife, it certainly isn’t impossible, if you have the right evidence based approach…

In this episode we talk to  journalist and author Jonathan Rauch about his book on midlife - The Happiness Curve.  

Inspired by his own experience Jonathan looked at research on age and happiness and found it shows that from our 20s into our 40s, happiness follows a well-documented U-shaped trajectory - a "happiness curve", declining from the optimism of youth into what's often a long, low trough in middle age, before starting to rise again in our 50s.

The good news is this isn't a midlife crisis, but a chance to embrace becoming a wiser being, shifting priorities away from competition and toward connection, compassion and gratitude. 

Jonathan is really open about his own journey and offers useful tips to navigate the challenges that arise at the bottom of the curve and find a path through the midlife malaise. The hope is that this conversation helps you feel less alone, ashamed or confused about what’s going on and also hopeful about the possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead.

In this episode we look at the power of micro habits and how you can utilise small changes to get big results. Often we feel overwhelmed by the thought of what we’ll need to do to make meaningful change in our lives, but actively working with micro habits like we do in our programmes makes it simple and achievable - and above all sustainable.

We take a look at the psychology and science behind investing in micro habits, including the importance of dopamine and rewards. We also look at how stacking habits makes it even easier to rewire your brain so reaching your goals doesn’t feel so hard.

In this episode we talk to Dr Bill Rawls about cellular health and the surprising impact of cellular damage and degeneration on our overall wellbeing.

Dr Rawls faced a health crisis in his forties, and finding that the medical system he’d worked in for years couldn’t offer him the answers, he applied his knowledge to researching wellness at the cellular level.

He cured himself and is now thriving. Aged 65, he's an active outdoor enthusiast, kiteboards regularly and is in the best shape of his life! 

It really is a fascinating episode as we talk about how to slow down ageing and the herbal supplements we can take to help boost our overall health.

Dr Rawls has a best selling book,  The Cellular Wellness Solution: Tap Into Your Full Health Potential with the Science-Backed Power of Herbs and you can connect with him on his two websites:

In this episode we’re discussing unhappiness at midlife. It seems, to varying degrees, we’re all experiencing the 'midlife malaise', and yet we’re also ashamed of feeling this way. We can feel very alone, even if we’re surrounded by people day in day out. This leads to isolation and feeling like there’s no point to it all…

So we’re on a mission to destigmatise being unhappy at midlife, because not only is it normal, but incredibly common. We need to bring compassion and understanding as to why this is happening, with tools to navigate us through the challenging times. 

We hope this podcast serves as a reminder to us all that we’re not alone…and fills your heart with some hope that things can and will shift for you.
