Rewild Your Mind book: https://amzn.to/3qLn6R4

Nick Goldsmith, is a former Royal Marine Commando who served his country from 2007 to 2018, completing six operational deployments in some of the world’s most challenging regions. After leaving military service, Nick turned his focus towards championing mental fitness.

His deep & personal understanding of nature’s role in supporting mental well-being has not only influenced our perceptions but has secured him a place as a thought leader in this field. As an international speaker and bestselling author, he connects with global audiences, offering inspiration derived from his own experiences. His company, Hidden Valley Bushcraft, has been recognized for its innovative outdoor activities that amplify positive mental fitness.

Nick, alongside his wife Louise, founded the acclaimed Woodland Warrior Programme in 2017. This initiative, brought into the limelight by a 2022 BBC documentary, has harnessed nature’s therapeutic power to aid rehabilitation for Armed Forces & Emergency Service Personnel. With support from distinguished organizations such as the Invictus Games, the Veteran’s Foundation, and now the Blue Light Card Foundation, the program is now deep into its 7th year.

Outside of his programs, Nick extends his influence by advising veteran-focused charities on best practices, emphasizing his commitment to champion veteran-owned charities. He also works with government and private organizations to foster professional growth and strengthen team connections. His bestselling book, ‘Rewild Your Mind’, is a testament to his advocacy for the crucial role of nature in mental health. Despite his impressive achievements, Nick’s humility shines through. His engaging presence and charismatic nature continue to drive a profound movement towards valuing nature as a key & vital resource for mental resilience.

Fred and I lay down additional views on masculinity, continuing from Part 1, Ep 20.

Fred and I lay down our views on masculinity. As we spoke, we decided that this should be a series. In this episode we discuss having a worldview that frames the way that you see the world, absent fathers in homes, being a leader and we list some traits that we deem are more masculine than not.

Fred and I discuss some but not all the below points, touching upon nutrition:

1. Foundational Nutrition Concepts Macronutrients – roles of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates; why “balance” looks different for different people. Micronutrients – vitamins, minerals, and how deficiencies manifest subtly over time. Hydration beyond water – electrolytes, mineral balance, and hydration myths. Caloric needs – energy balance, basal metabolic rate, and activity multipliers. Quality vs. quantity – why nutrient density matters more than just calorie count.

2. Cutting Through Myths & Misinformation Popular diet myths debunked (e.g., carbs are “bad,” fat makes you fat, eating late causes weight gain). Social media nutrition trends – what’s grounded in science and what’s pure marketing. The supplement industry – when supplementation is helpful vs. wasteful. The “superfood” label – marketing term vs. actual nutrient value.

3. Practical Eating Strategies Building a balanced plate without measuring every bite. Meal timing – intermittent fasting, grazing, and time-restricted eating. Grocery store strategies – navigating labels, hidden sugars, and ultra-processed foods. Eating on a budget – nutrient-rich meals that don’t break the bank. Meal prepping vs. spontaneous cooking – pros, cons, and personality fit.

4. Nutrition & Lifestyle Performance Fueling for workouts – pre-, intra-, and post-training nutrition. Nutrition for mental clarity – blood sugar regulation and brain health. Sleep and nutrition – how meal timing and composition affect rest quality. Travel eating – staying healthy on the road without being obsessive. Alcohol – impact on recovery, hormones, and nutrient absorption.

5. Long-Term Health & Longevity Anti-inflammatory eating patterns.
