In this episode, we’re diving into the incredible story of Karen – a top-tier expert witness with an extraordinary career and a lifestyle that many would envy.

Planning ahead and being organised with food is a non-negotiable if you want to be in shape year-round. However, this is something a surprising number of people struggle with. This becomes even more important for the typical high achiever who is already time poor, stressed, frequently has the day run away from them, and is already on the verge of decision fatigue. As James Clear said, “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” In this episode we discuss how to build a system that is as easy and automated as possible, freeing up your brain space,...

Identity is one of the most important elements in weight loss. It means the difference between temporary weight loss followed by rebound – and lasting weight loss that completely transforms your life. Over the long term, all your habitual thoughts, feelings and behaviours will come into alignment with your sense of identity. Which is why so many people can force behaviour change in the short term, but it doesn’t last long term. In this episode we dive deep into identity and identity change, including: Why it doesn’t take 66 days to form a habit, and why mindless repetition on its own...
info_outlineWhen you’re looking to optimise health, enhance mental & physical energy & get into outstanding shape as a busy executive or successful entrepreneur…
… you can’t follow the advice of 25 year olds for 25 year olds!
You have unique challenges that must be catered for:
- A lot of demands and responsibilities
- Limited time
- A more stressful lifestyle, but a less youthful physiology and therefore less of a buffer against that stress
In this episode, Rachel and David discuss the big picture of getting into exceptional physical shape, health and mental performance when you’re busy, successful, experienced and stretched thin.
You’ll discover:
- Why what works for a 20 something isn’t going to work when you’re in your 30s, 40s and beyond.
- Why you’ve been chasing the wrong rabbit down the wrong hole, and which rabbit you should be chasing!
- The underlying psychological blindspots that keep high achievers stuck in stress & overwhelm in their professional lives, and in endless cycles of on-the-wagon off-the-wagon with their health and lifestyle habits.
