There is absolutely no doubt that todays guest TOM FOX will give you a simplified and certainly practical education around NUTRITION, MENTAL WELLBEING and overall HEALTH. If your struggling to wake up in the morning, losing weight from “fad” diets or your sex drive is through the floor then don’t go anywhere. Tom’s abundance of knowledge and experience around the human body and how to fuel, train and live made for an incredible conversation on this week's podcast. Tom so clearly explains his upbringing and progression into the professional sports nutrition space by talking to me about his challenges and certainly his passion as to why he chose to continue on this path of professional wellness. Not having an atypical dream but having a passionate approach has allowed him to develop the most effective way for individuals to improve their life whether it be through physical movement, nutrition or business. As a personal trainer and certified sports nutritionist, our discussions stem deep into energy availability on a clinical level and on a practical level as well. Diving deep into the conversation around sleep and the alarming health implications from not committing to or having enough quality sleep, right the way to answering how we can make the most sensible approach to improving our health. Tom also answered a lot of questions around fueling for endurance sports such as  pre-training, post training, carb loading and all things nutrition around that.

Ep#19 Jaxon Tippet - Lifestyle Wellness

JAXON TIPPET joins me, Blake, to share his personal stories about being a Fitness Model, Podcast Host, Online Coach, Social Influencer and most importantly a Human Being. Raised in the Melbourne countryside, Jaxon was introduced to a strict but happy lifestyle with both parents prioritising health and wellness over the stereotypical ways of living. It wasn’t until later in high school years where getting into the gym scene to originally impress the girls that Jaxon recognised his addiction for looking and feeling the best he could. With such a strong drive to look and perform his best; steroids became a part of this process and inevitably led to a near jail time sentence, loss of his girlfriend, friends and license before Jaxon made a massive shift in his life. Realising that he doesn't have to do or be the person that social media wants or expects but rather to be his true organic self has opened the doorway to a more prosperous life of HEALTH and WELLNESS. This is a great conversation where two friends discuss each other's perspective on a range of topics from Nutrition to goals, to sleep and many more in the middle.

Ep#18 Benita Willis - Positive Finish Lines

It takes more than talent to become a 4 time OLYMPIAN and Australia’s GREATEST long distance runner; it takes consistency, balance, discipline, structure and determination. It also takes a special person to harness that knowledge and direct it to help many more individuals cross their finish lines as well. Benita Willis tells an incredible story of becoming a professional track athlete in Australia, her humble upbringing in Mackay of outdoor activities, no pressure and no shoes in school. Although hockey was her preferred sport, where she went on to represent Australia in the under 18s and 21s side as a 17 year old, Benita made her first olympic appearance in the 5000m race at Sydney in 2000 - the same year the Hockeyroos won gold. Traveling the world racing and training consumed her life for the following 12 years, where she achieved things no Australian has ever done before or since . Describing the hardest moment of that journey being 2008 when competing in New York her dad passed away and not long after went through a marriage separation, saying “I had to deal with my emotions first, because I wasn't enjoying racing anymore and so I was running shitty.” Since retiring in 2012, Benita has been on a journey to define her passion as a human not just as an athlete. Settling down in Gold Coast Australia with her partner Anthony and pet dog Hunter, Bentia has directed her energy into coaching. Helping individuals get through hard times both emotionally and physically with her coaching business Lace Up Running. Sharing her worldly experience that’s preparing you for an enhanced life where you can cross more than just your running finish line.
