Bear with me for a moment. “Cellulite” was invented by the fashion magazines and beauty product manufacturers in the 1960s. Before then it didn’t have a special name. So nowadays we’re all being misled into spending fortunes on magic creams that claim to “reduce its appearance” and never do. In this episode, I strip away […]
Butt, bum, arse, ass – whatever you call it, few parts of the body cause as much head-scratching and discussion as the rear end. Whether you like it big or small, we all aspire to having firm buttocks. My guest this week is known as The Glute Guy. Bret Contreras was teased at school for […]
Let me start by saying that vegans can be the nastiest bunch of b******s you’ll ever meet – some of them. So why did I decide to join them? Raised in a meat-loving family, I even had to apologise to my dad whenever I invited a vegetarian to dinner. And yes, to this day I […]
I’m getting asked this question a lot during lockdown. So in this week’s show I clear up some of the myths about how muscles grow, how long they stay toned, when they start to atrophy and what you can do about it. And how you DON’T even need anything as basic as a couple of […]
My guest this week only eats meat – that’s all. And when I first heard about her I dismissed her as a crazy fool. But when I heard her moving life story, I changed my opinion 180 degrees. This is the story of how Mikhaila – daughter of the famous professor of psychology, Jordan B. […]
Anybody who runs the Marathon des Sables – which is 6-day race, run through the Sahara Desert in blistering heat – knows something about ultra-fitness, and is definitely worth a listen.

They’ve closed your gym. And you’ve got little, or no, equipment at home. So, what now? What’s achievable if, like most of the world at the moment, you’re stuck training at home? Well, you can achieve more than you think. This is a behind the scenes look at how, after four years of professional bodybuilding, […]
Rose Henry changed my life. When you’re training your body intensely it’s easy to forget to look after your mind. It was my mum who found her, and badgered me to give her a try. I did, and wow. Not only does she perform tarot readings that blow my sceptical mind, but her meditations are […]
“Legend” is the only way to describe my guest today. He is a 6-time winner of the Mr Olympia title. He is the one, the only, Mr Dorian Yates. I confess I’m a bit of a fangirl in this episode, but it’s not often you get to talk to a guy who went from a […]
There’s no avoiding the big health and fitness issue of the moment. It’s affecting all our lives in a very profound way. My mission this week is to give you the strategies and techniques to move on from the initial fear to a position where you’re able to mobilize a whole load of inner strength […]
