In Part 1, I want to acknowledge the struggle many face with dieting and the pressures of unrealistic expectations. It's a relief to recognise the red flags of influences that may not serve you and to understand that embracing a balanced approach to nutrition can truly offer peace of mind. Remember, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution; your journey is unique.

I'll share two strategies to help you reduce calorie intake without feeling overly restricted or resentful. It's about the freedom of finding what feels suitable for you.

I'll also discuss sustainable habits you can begin incorporating into your life. These small changes can guide you toward breaking the yo-yo dieting cycle and cultivating a healthier relationship with food and yourself. You're not alone on this journey, and every step forward is a step worth celebrating.

In this episode, you'll learn how to accurately measure your weight, identify reasons for daily or weekly fluctuations, and interpret the data without feeling discouraged.

In this podcast, I discuss how generational patterns affect a person's mental and physical health, which in turn impacts their children and future generations. While it's easy to fall for the latest diet trends that promise quick results, it's important not to forget the importance of living a sustainable, healthier lifestyle.

Starting on the path to better health can be daunting, especially when you know what you should be doing but struggle to do it. This is where having a coach for support and accountability can make a huge difference and positively change your life.

If you want to improve your relationship with food and become a healthier role model for your children, this episode will help you evaluate your current lifestyle and how you can teach your kids to be healthy.

In this episode, I will explain why I do not share before and after photos of my clients to showcase their body composition success. Rather than displaying someone half-naked to the world, my mission focuses more on their journey than the end result.

Although my imposter syndrome has halted me from creating a podcast time and time again, I want to apply the routine of flossing my teeth every day, as advised by my hygienist, and use that discipline to develop this podcast into something great.

As a minority in the fitness industry who does not share before and after photos, it can be challenging. However, being part of that 0.01% of coaches who believe in a different approach is something I am passionate about.

To better understand who I am as a coach and husband and see if I'm the right fit for helping you improve your overall health, please consider subscribing to my channel on Spotify, YouTube, or Instagram. Thank you!

This episode is a short episode to digest quickly! As parents, sometimes you don't want to listen to a 60-90 minute podcast.

To become a better role model for your kids, you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself, "Would my actions inspire me if I was my kids?"

Postnatal depression isn't just experienced by Mums. Dads can struggle with postnatal depression too in so many different ways, as Matt describes in this episode.

Becoming a new Dad myself, I thought why not jump in the deep end and acknowledge some of the struggles all parents go through. Normalising the hard times will hopefully make it easier to talk about with friends and family. Lads, I'm talking to you... we've got to talk more.  I hope you enjoy this episode, please make sure to follow me, share the episode and answer any questions on Spotify.  

Thank you,

Andrew
