Most people don’t fail because they lack discipline, motivation, or knowledge.
They fail because their goals are disconnected from their real life.

In this episode, I break down why setting short-term, superficial goals (lose weight, get fitter, push for 12 weeks) keeps you stuck in the same loop year after year. You hit the goal… then what? No fireworks. No fulfilment. Life creeps back in, motivation fades, and you’re right back at the start resetting the same goal again.

I explain the “half-circle loop” most people live in — pushing hard, hitting a wall, restarting — and why it happens when goals aren’t aligned with values, identity, and real-world pressures.

We talk about:

• Why discipline without alignment always runs out
• How sleep, food, training, and habits must support life outcomes (not aesthetics)
• Why long-term success feels boring in the moment — but incredible in hindsight
• How to stop repeating the same January reset every year

If your goals don’t support the life you actually want, you won’t sustain them.
This episode will force you to think deeper, plan smarter, and finally move forward in 2026.

December isn’t just lights, Baileys and bad jumpers – it’s the one time of year when the world actually slows down. Shops shut, routines vanish, opening hours change, kids are off, family are everywhere… and your normal structure disappears.

In this episode I talk about frustration as a double-edged sword – or as I call it, the “Christmas hand grenade”. The same frustration that makes you annoyed you’re not training or eating well can either:

• Push you to protect what matters
• Or give you an excuse to down tools, drift, and write December off

We get into:

• Why December time isn’t “lost” – it’s just redistributed
• How to use extra movement and steps to protect digestion, energy and mood
• Why wasting Christmas so much you can’t eat your Christmas dinner should be illegal
• Old Christmas vs New Christmas: what you don’t want to repeat next year
• Why 2026 isn’t magic and what actually needs to change for it to be different

If you’re tired of promising yourself “New Year, new me” while spending December in fantasy land, this one’s your wake-up call – and your plan.

This episode breaks down the noisy world of supplements and zooms in on multivitamins – what they genuinely can do, and where people get misled.

Gordy explains why most busy, UK-based adults are likely running low on key nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium and calcium, and how that links to tiredness, poor sleep, brain fog and faster ageing.

He talks about “optimal” blood ranges versus what your GP might call “fine”, and why how you actually feel day to day still matters. Drawing on big studies (COSMOS and JAMA), he frames multivitamins not as magic pills or life-extenders, but as cheap “nutritional insurance” that quietly cover gaps when life is chaotic, food quality dips, and you’re juggling work, kids and stress.

He finishes with practical guardrails: do your own research, check with your GP if you’re on meds/pregnant or have health issues, don’t just buy whatever an influencer peddles, and if you use them, choose a decent-quality product that fits your context rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
