S2. Ep 3: Are these simple things ruining your life?
We are often so focused on developing new habits when it comes to achieving progress in life, whatever our goals may be, that we often forget about eliminating the bad habits. Doing this can actually be just as beneficial and quite often, bad habits are the real things that are holding us back to becoming better people. Here I discuss 7 of the most common bad habits I believe to be holding us back and how we can remove them from our lives.

Being healthy has become so complicated in today's world and to be quite honest I'm tired of it (as you might be too).

The fitness world doesn't make money off "basics" though but I'm here to tell you some of the easiest and naturally available things you implement in your life today that will make you healthier than most people.

25. Cold water therapy: the natural drug you never know you needed
Cold water therapy has suddenly become the new health craze...why you may be wondering? Because what it does to you is quite something, and I'm fully on board with it. I'm currently in a pretty militant routine but have never felt happier and cold exposure is a part of that routine, every single morning. I discuss how I got into cold water therapy, the best way of starting, the unbelievable physical and mental benefits around it and a few other top tips worth knowing before you turn that shower cold or dive into an ice bath.

24. Alcohol, hangxiety and the big drinking stigma
"Alcohol is the only drug you have to justify not using"...having spent the large part of the last 14 years drinking alcohol, 6 months ago I decided to become sober curious and significantly cut down the amount of alcohol I consumed, to now hardly any. Today I feel the best I have ever felt in my life for it. I take you through my relationship with alcohol growing up as a high level rugby player and the pressures of drinking working in the city in my mid 20s. I discuss the physiological effects that drinking alcohol has on the brain and body and run through the pros vs the cons of drinking. The aim of this episode is to encourage people to make informed decisions about their alcohol consumption in order to benefit their physical and mental health, and to open people's eyes up to becoming more sober curious.

23. Is social media ruining your life?
Social media is everywhere. You can't escape it. It's how we connect with people, follow our idols, retrieve information, stalk our ex's and show off the best bits of our own lives. But is it becoming all consuming? Is it taking away from our own reality? Are we living vicariously through others without even realising? Should we be using it more intentionally? How can we use it more intentionally? What are the positives? Listen in and explore the depths of it all with me in this episode.

Don’t bother
No credentials, giving health advice. Gross all around
I lost braincells listening to this
I felt like I needed to cover my drink while listening to this podcast… Starting a podcast isn’t exactly rocket science, as proven by this guy. But seriously, what gives him the right to spew this garbage? Just because he bought a mic off Amazon and likes the sound of his own voice doesn’t mean he’s some guru on how to live your life, especially when he’s got ZERO qualifications or credentials in the field. He’s just a social media snake oil salesman preying on people too lazy to fact-check him and his STOLEN content. How can anyone listen to one second of this drivel with a holier-than-thou attitude as the main theme of every episode? He hates himself, and he hates you. Save yourself the time and brain cells you would lose if you listened to it.
Lots of words to say very little
This podcast felt like a jumble of long winded rants that are quite general and a lot of fear mongering about the government, science, and the news. The host doesn’t transition well between topics and seems to know he is ranting, repeatedly asking listeners “just stay with me” or “almost done” which I’ve never heard a host do. The information shared is entirely personal option, which is fine if it’s branded that way, but it is being presented as fact.
