How Do You Know You’re On The Right Path? | 50 Episodes of Fitness & Thinking

50 episodes. I didn’t know a year ago how I was going to make it to three! Over the last year 50 weeks of Fitness & Thinking, I’ve sat down with researchers, athletes, therapists, doctors, coaches, founders, artists and genuinely brilliant people to ask a deceptively simple question: What does it mean to live well in 2026? Across six pillars — physical, mental, social, spiritual, emotional and financial wellbeing — we’ve talked about everything from testosterone to trauma, loneliness to love, money to meaning, and why so many of us feel simultaneously healthier and more lost than ever.And underneath almost every conversation – no matter the specialist across from me – sat the same quieter question: How do you know you’re on the right path? If you’ve listened, watched, commented, shared an episode, suggested a guest or quietly followed along: Thank you. If you're interested in keeping it going, I’d love to know: What topic should we explore next? Who should come on the podcast? What conversations are we not having enough of?

Jack Mann | The Tuesday Evening Theory | Ritual Disruptions, Nostalgia & Living Well | F&T49

Many moments in life don’t feel magical while they’re happening. * Tuesday evenings. * Fish and chips. * Watching TV with a parent. * Laughing at jokes you maybe didn’t fully understand yet. And somehow, years later, those become the things you remember, alternately things you can recreate and things you wish you still had.In this solo episode of F&T, I explore the idea of “Tuesday evenings” — the on-the-surface very ordinary but infrequent moments that disrupt the routine and make life feel richer. Another framing too is to bring yourself back to where you are and remind yourself that you "get" to do whatever it is you are/n't doing right now. We talk about: * The importance of low stakes, low budget rituals * Growing up between homes and finding safety in routine * Why modern life makes ordinary moments harder to notice * Shared attention, family, food and feeling grounded * What wellbeing looks like in real life Because maybe living well isn’t always optimisation. Maybe it’s building small things worth staying around for. I’d love to know: What’s your version of a Tuesday evening?What ordinary thing from your childhood or life now still feels quietly magical? — Fitness & Thinking explores six pillars of fitness: Physical, Mental, Social, Spiritual, Emotional & Financial.

Dr. Mohit Khera - Don't Miss This Early Health Warning Sign - There's No Pill In The World More Effective Than These 4 Things Together | F&T48

Most people don’t take their health seriously until something goes wrong. In this conversation with Dr. Mohit Khera, we go far beyond testosterone. Dr Khera has spent 25+ years researching hormones, sexual health, and long-term outcomes, and what becomes clear very quickly is this: Erectile dysfunction isn’t just about sex. Low testosterone isn’t just about muscle. And “feeling off” is rarely random. It’s information. We talk about why ED is often a check engine light for deeper issues like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and mental health – and why treating symptoms without asking better questions can cost you years. We also get into: How testosterone went from “dangerous” to potentially therapeutic Why lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep, stress) is still the most powerful intervention The truth about TRT, fertility, and whether you’re on it for life Why “normal ranges” don’t tell the full story The risks of chasing supraphysiological levels Peptides, black market hormones, and what people are getting wrong Why women need testosterone too – and why it’s often overlooked The Mediterranean diet, blue zones, and what actually drives longevity Health span vs lifespan vs sex span Why most people wait too long to care about their health. This conversation is neither just for men or solely about hormones.It’s about learning to see your health earlier – before something forces you to.
