Whether it's training goals, nutrition, or something broader like career or personal life, there can be times where you want to throw in the towel. 

Everyone has those moments. But there's more to why we quit, and how we can better get going once again after we want to chuck it all in.

Supplements: there are aisles of the things, all promising to make you stronger, healthier, have shinier hair, help sleep and the rest. 

But what supplements do we actually need? Unless you're on a specific diet, the answer is likely not the ones you think. 

Whether you want to know more about taking vitamin D or wondering what the point of creatine is, or just want to know how to get jacked faster, this episode will give you insight into key supplements, what they do and which ones you actually need.

She’s one of the strongest women in Australia – Lily Riley has a 235kg squat, over a 200kg deadlift and over a 100kg bench, and she only weighs 75kg herself. 

But that’s not why she’s remarkable (though it is impressive). 

The 25-year-old also is just over a year out of treatment for stage 2 kidney cancer, with a huge 12cm tumour requiring her to have her entire kidney removed. 

Lily talks to Rebuild about how she was diagnosed with cancer the day before a powerlifting competition, how she has adapted to training with one kidney, rebuilt her body and life, and how giving up was never an option.

This breath-taking conversation is one of tribulation, triumph and empowerment as Lily catches the world's attention, by still being the world class powerlifter she is.

Discomfort is something we as humans avoid, but it’s where change and growth happens. The problem is, we are always comfortable, and thus, we aren’t being challenged or changing.  

This week, Sean and James are joined by coach Darius to talk about discomfort and how we can grow and change through putting ourselves into states of discomfort. 

We should be seeking out discomfort, from fitness, to relationships, work and education – discomfort is going to help you evolve and adapt. 

We expect everything to be easy and a lot of the time, it is. We can live a life of comfort from our homes – with no need to ever really leave. But if we don’t challenge ourselves, we will never reach our full potential.  

Tune in to hear how you can challenge yourself, and make the most of your challenges.

To say Simone Arthur is very fit is an understatement. 

Simone is one of the fittest women in Australia and this weekend she will compete at the Torian Pro with the possibility of winning herself a slot to compete at the CrossFit Games in America, the pinnacle of the sport.

Lucy Deadman is a small human. Weighing around 44kg, and measuring just under 5ft2, she’s not what you’d typically imagine as a Muay Thai fighter to look like. 

But she is just that, and she packs some power.  

Lucy is 22 and is a Destiny Mini Flyweight Champ. She discovered Muay Thai after an injury stopped her participating in cheerleading and after her first session she was hooked. 

She now is a professional fighter, and has her eyes set on an Australian title and then the world stage

On the podcast, we talk to Lucy about how she got into Muay Thai, Her adversities and resilience, the importance of a good coach, her time in Thailand, what keeps her fighting and where she wants to go from here. We got Lucy hot off a brilliant win last weekend.

Your words create your reality and your mindset plays a huge part in the success of your health and nutrition. 

This week on the Rebuild podcast, Sean and James discuss how psychology and attitude can help or hinder your health goals. 

There's no simple answer to good health, it's about adherence and maintenance, and this week the boys talk about flexible dieting, your approach to dieting and the importance of balance. Your first question you need to ask yourself is why you're dieting - what your goals are. 

They also touch on nutritional myths, how there's no one quick-fix diet that will solve all your problems and different cultural diets that have equal success.

"There was a point where I thought I was going to die - and if I had have stayed in Dubai, I probably would have."

Cait is Rebuild Health & Fitness's producer and the Jamie to Sean and James's Joe Rogan.

This week, we put her in front of the microphone to tell her incredible health story.

Cait was living in Dubai when her health started deteriorating, during COVID. She lost weight, was fatigued and weak - and when she managed to get back to Australia, was almost immediately hospitalised with kidney failure - but the doctors didn't know why.

On this week's episode hear about how QLD Health saved Cait's life, how she managed to get back into the gym and how Rebuild has helped her rebuild her health, and life.

If you're skipping out on sleep, you will never make proper progress in your health goals. 

We’ve spoken about the importance and benefits of sleep on previous podcasts, and this week we take a deep dive into the true impact lack of sleep can have on your health, eating habits, weight-loss or gain, sex drive and mental function. 

Sleep is crucial to your overall health, your mental health, recovery, muscle-growth and nutrition adherence so getting enough shut-eye is one of the best things you can do for your body. 

We as humans are the only animals in the world that will abstain from sleep for other activities. 

James and Sean touch on how you can improve your sleep quality - measures you can take to ensure that your sleep is high quality, help you drift off to sleep faster and some resources to help you wind down at night.

Mick Stuart at one point, tipped the scales at 150kg - which he attributes to ‘the worst lifestyle ever’. He says he got a wake-up call when his relationship nearly fell apart and he was shopping in the ‘big boys section’ for clothing.

Mick started by walking up a hill by his house - each day, he was walking and running up the hill. He then integrated weights into his routine, and from there, he looked for more. Mick worked every day, and got his weight down to 94kg. 

Now, he’s training for an Iron Man (3.9km swim, 180km bike, 42.2km run), regularly participates in ultra-beast (50km) obstacle courses, is a qualified trainer and last year, he did a 24-hour challenge where he did burpees, ran on a treadmill and rode the air-bike all with a blindfold on - for the entire 24 hours. There was no music or distractions, It was all to raise awareness and money for Mates for Mates - that helps people transition out of the Defence Force. 

On this week's podcast, we speak to Mick about his journey to health and how he's now helping others.

This week on the Rebuild podcast, we’re speaking to Tamiya about her journey into fitness, the highs and lows of bodybuilding and nutrition and her approach to evidence-based health. Tamiya talks about what you need to consider if you're thinking about competing in the bodybuilding world, and how that may affect your mindset - for the better or worse at times and how it plays into the biopsychosocial model of health. 

 Tamiya is also a mother; her partner competes on stage and she works with clients on exploring beyond the transformations – hence her business’s title: Beyond Transformations.

This week on the podcast, we’re talking about the benefits of personal training versus group training. 

It’s not as simple as it may seem - which should you opt for? There are clear benefits for both, cost versus effectiveness, progress rates, injury prevention and pacing. 

At Rebuild, we offer personal training, group training and group classes - and there are benefits and drawbacks to all. What’s best? Well it depends what you need - what your goals are and how much experience you have in group settings.

This week’s podcast is about finding balance - and what that means to you. 

Too often the health industry is perceived as all or nothing - but it’s not that black and white; it’s a spectrum. It’s time to throw away the stereotypes and assumptions of what you ‘should’ be doing. 

You don’t have to sacrifice your social life and mental wellbeing, crash diet or forgo the things you love to get results. It’s about ‘restraint - not restriction’.

It’s knowing your priorities/values and working on them - and maintaining a healthy balance.

This week Sean and I talk through some of the stupid shit we use to say, stupid stuff we use to believe it and things we have changed our minds on. 

We must know that everything is learned, and just how we learn it we can unlearn it or at least change of view of it. That is growth. 

“If anyone can refute me—show me I’m making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective—I’ll gladly change. It’s the truth I’m after, and the truth never harmed anyone.” – Marcus Aurelius

Some of the things we have said, blow our minds and this makes for a very interested and fun episode. 

We also discuss how to know if you are making progress and the methods you should and shouldn't use when attaching objective and subjective measurements to them. 

To know if we are improving, we must understand where we are.

This week we dive deep into the state of the dieting industry, challenge culture and the values/worth we attach to ourselves. 
 
We are not against dieting, we have a business for the sole purpose of it, but we do beleive the fact that people shouldn’t be living trying to diet year after year. 
 
But what causes us to think this way? What causes us to live in a state of yo-yo dieting, challenge culture or looking for the next best thing to control our weight? 

Why do people want to diet in the first place? Is this something they want or it is something they believe they should? 
 
 If so why? 
 
 Enjoy the episode, this is a cracker and we hope by the end of it you’re at least thinking differently about ‘dieting.

This week James was very fortunate to be  joined by Justin Bennetts a Brazilian Jujitsu Black Belt and owner of The Agoge Brazilian Jujitsu in Bulimba. 

To become a black belt in BJJ you need to dedicate on average over 10 years to the craft, and even if you do dedicate a decade it does not mean you will be a black belt. 

There are not many BJJ black belts on this planet and I think how special and rare it is when looking from the outside is very overlooked. 

We talk through Justin's journey to black belt, the importance of the lessons BJJ teaches and why he quit his job as an electrical engineer to become a business owner and follow his passion of teaching BJJ. 

Brazilian jujitsu can teach you everything you need to know about life and it something I have found love for myself. 

You are never too old to try this art. Everyone is capable to give it a go regardless of experience, regardless of physicality, regardless of your past. 

If you are a parent and are unsure what sport to start your kids in, here could be the answer. 

Enjoy this episode and thank you Justin for your time.

This week the boys talk about the somewhat confusing space that is supplements. Everyone is out there selling their favourite supplements on social media (for money) and the majority just have no backing or research what so ever. 

Today we cut through shit and tell you the why, what and when take of any worth while supplements backed by research. 

Being backed by research should be an absolute must when looking into supplements. 'I took it and it worked for me' is not evidence.  

We talk supplements for health and supplements for performance as well as answering the question do any fat loss supplements actually exist?

We were joined by Megan Francis a member of Rebuild Health and Fitness who over the past 3 years has taken herself from obese and unhappy to never thinking about body fat and what she believes is a much happier, healthier, stronger role model for her children.

It's been said that we are drowning in data - there is so much information on nutrition, movement, sleep, recovery, it's hard to discern what's important and what's not. 

But as we age, there are some simple metrics that will help us live longer, stronger lives.

In this episode, we discuss how you can set yourself up for success in the long run, to ensure whether you're looking to walk a dog in your nineties, or able to squat down to pick up your grandchild, that you're living the life you want. 

This episode is for all ages - pass it on to your loved ones if you want to support them as they age.

What an honest, raw and breathtaking podcast. 

We were joined by Lachlan Stuart who was a man at rock bottom, a man who used drugs and alcohol to numb the pain and reality he was in. A man that has turned his life around and now runs a global movement empowering men to change their lives called 'The Man That Can Project'. Lachie is a Lululemon Ambassador and has just been voted in the top 10 performance coaches in Australia. 

We talk through Lachie's journey and we go back right to the beginning. We believe his story isn't as unique as some people may believe, but Lachie is willing and open to talk about what caused him pain before which we believe will be so relatable to so many people listening. 

Some of the topics we talk about 

Schoolboy bullying 
Becoming something you are not
Your Identity 
Drugs and alcohol 
Relationships 
Mental Health
Taking the first step 
Self belief and work ethic. 

The list goes on and on but I will let you all listen yourself. I want to thank Lachie for telling his story and opening up and as always I am sure this will inspire someone to think differently.

This week the boys were joined by the fascinating Matthew Barram on the podcast.

Matthew is an entrepreneur, tech CEO as well as a man that donates so much of his time to helping the people around him as well as the younger generation trying to figure out who they want to be.

Matthews's passion for self-development is apparent the whole way through this episode but it's his difference in mindset that sets him apart.

Matthew is a very deep and critical thinker and he cares deeply about his health and he believes meditation is a great part of being a well-rounded healthy human. Matthew has been practicing Zen for over 10 years and this gives Matthew a wonderful and thought-provoking perspective of life and one I enjoy hearing about.

Matthew makes people think and this is why he is such a great guest to have on the podcast. He will challenge your personal biases which we believe is needed in order to improve in any aspect of your life.

He has also walked 10,000 steps a day for over 400 days now, even while on a 24-hour plane ride fighting against time differences, why? Listen to find out.

Some of the topics on the podcast include

Growth mindset
Being coachable
Taking responsibility for yourself

We were lucky enough to be joined by the truly amazing Averyl Mitchell who currently plays Rugby for the Queensland Reds as well as the Wallaroos (Female Australian Rugby Union Team) 

But Averyl's Journey did not start out like most, from a shy girl who didn't play sport growing up, only lacing up her boots at around 18 years old to now being one of the best players in Australia. 

We speak about;

The raise and the process of achieving her vision
Work ethic and commitment over raw talent 
The highs and lows
The feeling of playing for your country
The evolution of Female sport
Training for a purpose over aesthetics
Body perception and self-worth

This week the boys were joined by good friend Tomas Milosevic to have a round table discussion about sport, it's importance to life, and why your kids should play it. 

We hope it challenges some of your personal bias, we hope it allows you to think differently or confirm what you've always thought. 

We believe sport to have an unparalleled crossover into real life. This episode is not about what sport, this episode is about the importance of all sport and why starting young is important as we grow older and what it teaches us along the way. 

We touch on 

- Self worth
- Why getting 'hurt' shouldn't be on your mind 
- Discipline
- Leadership, communications 
- Habits good and bad
- Social, relationships 
- Social media and the future
- Health and chasing performance over aesthetics 
- Reliance

and much more.

What a conversation this was. What a great topic and we hope everyone takes away some insight. With kids, without kids, or for your future kids, this is important to understand.

This week the boys talk about parenthood and health. 

Under no circumstance are we experts on the mater, but we are both dads and we own two businesses where 90% of our members are parents. So we feel this is a topic that needs to be spoken about. 

We talk about priorities, influence, support, time, and much more. 

Even if you are not a parent we talk about priorities when other things come into your life, be that work, animals, relationships. 

Being a parent is tough, but being mentally and physically fatigued is much tougher, so how do we look after ourselves first?
