About this episode

In this episode, I reflect on the things I wish I'd figured out sooner when it comes to health and weight loss. The stuff that would have saved me years of going in circles.I share five things I'd go back and tell my younger self:Start strength training — it's your metabolic engine, and being strong in everyday life is underratedPrioritise protein — it's the single thing that would have changed the most for me, the fastestStop yo-yo dieting — restriction works short-term, but it's not something you can live with foreverGo for more walks — I used to dismiss walking as "not real exercise," and I had it completely wrongLearn what's actually in your food — not obsessively, just enough to make informed decisions without needing someone else to hand you a planNone of these are extreme. They're just the basics, done consistently, and that's exactly why they work.Links & ResourcesEpisode 4 — Exercise vs NutritionFollow me on Instagram: @thesimplehealthmethod
