We just couldn’t decide what to do with our Halloween-themed show this week. We thought about how Halloween is a time to give yourself a break and indulge in the holiday, what trick or treating might look like with Covid-19 and even how you can use the mentality of Halloween to springboard yourself into a new way of living.

We thoughts they were all great topics. So we decided to talk about all three!

It is a holiday of indulgence, after all. (But I mean aren’t they all these days, am I right?)

Climate change and the devastating impact we’re having on the environment is real. We can often be left wondering what we as individuals can do to help change the course of this train we’re on.

As it happens, there’s a lot we can do. There’s even a lot you can do just through your diet alone.

In this week’s podcast, we talk about 3 small changes you can make to your diet to help create a better world for ourselves and our children in the future.

Plus a fun bonus idea to help you make use of your own garden to nourish your family and the planet.

Disordered eating is a lot more common than you might think and yes, it happens to men, too.

1 in 4 people suffering with disordered eating are thought to be male and both me, your host, Shaun Herr, and this week’s guest, Steve Opalenik have struggled with it in the past.

As men, we’re often taught that eating disorders, like emotions, are for women and girls. They deal with that stuff, we don’t.

Neither of those things are true.

Many eating disorders begin with suppressed emotions. So it’s no surprise that being taught as a man to suppress emotions, we’d develop eating disorders, too.

We’re also often told that reaching out and asking for help is a sign of weakness, and so we struggle on alone.

That also couldn’t be more wrong.

If you want to be big and strong that’s great. That means putting in hard work and working through difficulty, right? Well, allowing yourself to feel emotions, honour them and work to understand them is possibly one of the hardest things to do.

I’d argue opening up and asking for help, being willing to be vulnerable is one of the most manly things you can do in that sense.

This episode came about because I’d actually been planning to talk about this for an episode in a few week’s time. Then, last week, Freddie Flintoff released a documentary on the BBC opening up and talking about how he’s been Living With Bulimia for the past 20 years.

Me and Steve already had time scheduled in for a podcast interview for this Monday. But then I remembered that Steve has also struggled with binge eating in the past. The stars seemed to align and talking about both our experiences seemed like the right thing to do for this week’s show.

We dig into a lot of stuff with this and I even had some realisations about my own history of binge and secret eating as we were talking.

We talk about:


Freddie Flintoff and Living With Bulimia
How Steve fell into binge eating when he was younger
How I fell into binge eating and secret eating as a personal trainer
The hidden disordered eating of the fitness industry
How we both started to overcome our disordered eating habits
How all of our emotions impact the way we eat
The things we both still think about with food that help us stay on track
How food companies make a profit by making you overeat
One of our favourite tools to help people identify issues in their relationship with food


And lots more.

We hope this week’s show helps somebody out there in some way, and if you have any questions you can reach either of us with the email links below:

This week we’ve got a very special guest on the show; because Nutri-iQ founder Jim Gale is interviewing his dad.

Last month, Jim’s dad celebrated 30 years sober. As you can imagine, this is a very personal interview between Jim and his dad and we’re honoured that he agreed to open up and tell his story of sobriety on the show.

During the interview they talked about:


The deeper reasons for abusing alcohol

The signs and justifications of an alcoholic

And first steps to acknowledgement and recovery


If you’ve been affected by any of the topics discussed in this interview take a look at the links below that might be able to help.

Now we’d love to hear about your stories and your experiences. Have you gone sober? Maybe for life or maybe for the odd month like Dry January or Sober October? Or maybe you’ve simply cut back on alcohol and noticed a positive difference.
