S.E.X.

Nobody books an appointment about this.
They mention it last, on the way out the door, usually with an apology attached.

Which is a shame, because a sex drive that’s gone is one of the most useful bits of information your body gives you.
It usually isn’t about your relationship.
It’s a reading, and something further upstream is moving the needle.

In this episode I discuss why libido is worth paying attention to, what tends to be behind it, and what actually shifts it:

Why it’s a gauge, not the problem. What your body switches off first when it decides resources are short, and why sex drive is near the top of that list.
The sleep link. The one that catches people out, because they’ve written off the tiredness as normal.
Stress, and the state it leaves you in. Why “I’m just busy at the moment” has a physiology attached to it.
Under-eating. The thing Paul sees most often and the one nobody suspects. Long-term dieting has a cost, and this is where it shows up.
Alcohol. Honest, not preachy. What a normal week’s drinking is actually doing.
Training. Why too little and far too much land in the same place.
What to do about it. Where to start, in what order, and how long before you’d expect to notice.
And when it isn’t nutrition. The point at which this becomes a GP conversation rather than a food one, and why that’s worth doing.

Mounjaro: The Unspoken Trap of Weight Loss Jabs

Episode 70

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 • Duration 16:33

💡 STOP GUESSING YOUR LUNCH: Stood in the supermarket aisle with five minutes to spare? Grab my free Meal Deal Survival Guide and build a high-protein lunch that actually fills you up, in any UK shop, in under 30 seconds 👉 mealdeal.carrd.co

You’re losing weight.
You’re also losing muscle.
And if you stop without a plan, the fat comes back. The muscle doesn’t.

Around 1.6 million UK adults used a weight loss drug last year.
Most bought them outside the NHS. The majority have never had a single conversation with a professional about what to eat while they’re on one. This isn’t an anti-jab episode.
These drugs work, and for some people they’ve been life changing.
But the prescription didn’t come with instructions, and there’s a second half to this story that nobody is telling you.

I break down what’s actually happening to your body:

The surprise demographic. Who is really taking these in the UK. The leading group isn’t who you’d guess.

The muscle drain. How much of what you lose isn’t fat, and why the drug itself makes that harder to prevent.

The one-year reality check. What the research found when they took the drug away and watched 308 people for twelve months.

Tearing apart my own evidence. Why I’m going to pull holes in the study that supports my own argument.

The two findings nobody reports together. What they mean for the body you actually end up with.

What to do, starting with your next meal. The protein rule for when you’re not hungry, and the two sessions a week that decide everything.

The question to answer before your first injection. Almost nobody does this.

If it’s already gone back on. Why that isn’t a willpower failure, and what rebuilds first.

Are ultra processed foods bad for you? UPFs, fact checked

Episode 69

Friday, October 16, 2026 • Duration 12:13

FREE MEAL DEAL HACKS/ SURVIVAL GUIDE HERE>>> https://mealdeal.carrd.co/

Your wholemeal bread is an ultra processed food.
So is most shop-bought hummus, a lot of baked beans, and nearly every protein bar in the country.

If that sounds mad to you, that’s the problem with how this has been reported.

UPFs have gone from a research classification nobody had heard of to the thing everyone’s frightened of, and somewhere in the middle a lot of nonsense got attached to it. So this week I go through what the evidence actually says, what it doesn’t, and where the headlines have run well ahead of the research.

No scaremongering, no clean eating sermon, and no telling you to make your own bread.

In this episode:

What ultra processed actually means, and why the definition catches foods you’d never expect
Where the panic came from, and why the classification was never designed to do the job it’s being used for
The difference between “linked to” and “causes”, and why nearly every scary headline you’ve read relies on you not knowing it
The one study people quote constantly, what it genuinely showed, and what it didn’t
Why the processing probably isn’t the thing doing the damage
The foods on the list that are perfectly fine, and the ones genuinely worth cutting back
What to actually do with your weekly shop on Monday morning

Is Diet Coke ACTUALLY bad for you? The “fridge cigarette”, answered.

Episode 68

Wednesday, October 14, 2026 • Duration 14:33

🍽️ FREE: My QUICK meal ideas guide → mealdeal.carrd.co

I was quoted in Healf’s piece on this → healf.com/blogs/health-journal/is-diet-coke-bad-for-you

If a can of Diet Coke a day is the worst thing in your diet, you’re doing brilliantly.

TikTok has started calling it the “fridge cigarette” and the internet has done what the internet does. So this week I’m giving you the actual answer, and it’s probably not the one you’re expecting from a nutritionist.

The sweetener isn’t the problem. Two other things are, and almost nobody talks about either of them.

In this episode:

Why a can of Diet Coke has more caffeine in it than a can of regular Coke, and why that catches people out
The study where caffeine six hours before bed wrecked people’s sleep and they didn’t even notice
The one change that protects your teeth, which is about how you drink it rather than how much
What “possibly carcinogenic” actually means, and why pickled vegetables are in the same category
How many cans you’d have to drink every day to hit the actual safety limit
Why the studies linking diet drinks to poor health usually have the cause and the effect the wrong way round
What the WHO guidance really said, versus how it got reported
When swapping to Diet Coke is a genuine win, and the thing I’d rather you fixed first

Intermittent Fasting: Science vs. Bullsh*t

Episode 66

Friday, October 9, 2026 • Duration 17:39

YOUR FREE MEAL DEAL CHEAT RESOURCE

Intermittent fasting is either praised as a miracle cure for fat loss or dragged as a glorified eating disorder.
Most of what you’re being fed is complete marketing garbage.

In this episode:

Intermittent Fasting: Science vs. Bullsh*t we explore whether you swear by the 16:8 method, think OMAD is life-changing, or think the entire fasting world is a cult- you are probably doing it wrong.

No bias. No corporate sponsors. Just raw, evidence-based nutrition cutting through the noise to tell you exactly what fasting does to your body, what it doesn't do, and who is lying to you for profit.

Drop the ego, and get the facts.

Feeling flat? It's the time of year, and it isn't just you

Episode 62

Wednesday, September 30, 2026 • Duration 13:28

If you've felt flat for the last few weeks, there's a reason, and it isn't you being lazy.

The end of September does this to people. It's technically still summer, so you feel like you should still be riding the highs, but the kids have gone back, the streets have gone quiet, everyone put the tools down in August and hasn't quite picked them up, and the only thing left on the calendar is Christmas, which is months off. No man's land.

I see the same pattern in clients at this exact point every single year.

So this one isn't really about food. Or not only about food.

I'll also challenge the thing nearly everyone is about to do: get in shape for Christmas, let it all go over Christmas, start again in January. That's not a way to live, and you don't have to.

In this episode:

Why this stretch of the year flattens people, and why it catches you off guard
The "everythingness" list, and why writing all of it down is the first move
The five minute rule that starts the engine when nothing feels doable
Open loops, why they wake you at 3am, and how to close them
The phone habit to stop tonight, and why it wrecks your whole day rather than just your sleep
Why I have no notifications on my phone at all
Light, wind-down, and why your bedroom should be for two things only
The minimum standard for food: plan your dinners, and never walk into a supermarket blind
Why Wednesday evening is where good intentions die, and how to take that decision off your future self
Where your attention is going, and who's currently in charge of it

Should you eat breakfast? Quick breakfast ideas

Episode 64

Friday, September 25, 2026 • Duration 12:53

TODAY I tell you OFFICIALLY whether you need breakfast and if you do. What should you have... and how do you make it QUICK?

Is breakfast actually the most important meal of the day?
No. It's no more important than lunch or dinner.

But when you skip it and end up shaking at eleven, or face down in Janet's homemade cake, that's worth understanding.

This one's about energy, not rules.

Why the wrong breakfast leaves you ravenous by mid-morning, what to add to slow it down, and a run of genuinely quick options, including the one I have almost every morning that takes about a minute.

Cereal, porridge, yoghurt, eggs, smoothies.

All of it sorted, none of it complicated.

And if you make it to the end, there's something in it for you that I'm not putting in the description.

Why you're not losing weight: 3 real client cases

Episode 60

Wednesday, September 23, 2026 • Duration 13:28

When you're ready: Book a chat

THIS WEEK: Three people. Three completely different problems. And in all three cases, the thing they came to me for wasn't the thing that needed fixing.

A man who was "good all day" and lost it every evening.
A woman in her late forties doing everything right, stuck for eight months, convinced something was medically wrong. A bloke training hard, feeling flat, and already three hundred quid deep into supplements.

I'm giving you the full fix in each case, including the bit where one of them got worse before she got better.

In this episode:

Why the evening isn't the problem, it's the bill
How to build food around the day you actually have rather than the day you wish you had
The move almost everyone makes when they stall, and why making it harder isn't a strategy
Tired, sleeping badly, training going backwards, scale stuck: a pattern with a name, and it usually isn't your thyroid
The hardest conversation in my job, and why she hated it for two weeks
Why flat training is a fuelling question before it's anything else
Why eating less on rest days undoes the work you did on the other days
Listen out for yourself. Statistically you're in here somewhere.
