  • Behind the Glamour: Chronic Pain, Scoliosis, Mental Health, & Reality TV with Abigail Godfrey #117
    Send us a textIn this episode, I’m joined by Abigail Godfrey — Netflix star of Selling the City and a high-profile real estate agent in Manhattan—for a raw and honest conversation about living with chronic pain, managing mental health, and the resilience it takes to thrive behind the scenes of success.Abi shares her experience of being born with congenital torticollis, as well as her journey with genetic scoliosis — a condition that runs through generations of women in her family. At just 12 years old, she underwent major spinal fusion surgery, leaving her with metal rods, screws, and an S-shaped curve in her spine that causes ongoing daily pain. We talk about how she’s balanced that invisible struggle with the pressures of reality TV, depression, anxiety, and her recent experience coming off SSRIs after ten years.We also explore the deeper meaning she’s found through advocacy — supporting mental health initiatives and co-founding the Elite V Football Showcase with her husband to help underserved young athletes access college opportunities. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, vulnerability, and finding purpose through pain!This episode is brought to you by fabÜ SKIN-HAIR-NAILS GLOW, the supplement I created for strong, healthy, and radiant beauty from within.

  • Let’s Talk Men’s Health: Testosterone, ED, Sleep Apnoea, & Prostate Checks with Dr. Martin Rourke #116
    Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Dr. Martin Rourke, a Dublin-based GP specialising in men’s health, for a wide-ranging and eye-opening conversation about testosterone, heart health, sleep, and the often-overlooked warning signs men ignore until it’s too late. From erectile dysfunction to fatigue and low motivation, Dr. Rourke explains how many of the symptoms men brush off could actually be pointing to something more serious — and why early action matters.We talk about testosterone replacement therapy and why it’s so misunderstood, the benefits of low-dose daily Cialis (and how it differs from traditional ED treatments like Viagra), and how erectile dysfunction can signal early cardiovascular disease. Dr. Rourke also dives into prostate health and the importance of getting both blood tests and digital rectal exams, the link between undiagnosed sleep apnoea and high blood pressure, and how hair loss can have a real impact on men’s mental wellbeing.Whether you’re a man noticing changes in your own health or someone who loves one, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and practical advice around the four key pillars of men’s health: diet, exercise, quality sleep, and stress reduction. A must-listen for anyone who wants to feel better, live longer, and take charge of their health!Thanks for listening! You can watch the full episode on YouTube here.

  • The Power of Reset: Mindset Shifts, Cortisol, Perimenopause, and Building Strength with Brian Keane #115
    Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with fitness coach, nutritionist, bestselling author and podcast host Brian Keane to explore how stress, hormones, and mindset play a huge role in overall wellbeing—particularly for women going through perimenopause and beyond. Brian breaks down what cortisol actually does in the body, how it’s often misunderstood, and why short bursts of physical stress—like lifting weights, cold exposure, or high-intensity training—can help lower chronic stress and support long-term health.We talk about the challenges so many women face around weight gain, body composition, and fatigue in midlife, and why the usual advice of eating less and doing more cardio just doesn’t cut it. Brian shares simple but effective strategies for building strength, fuelling your body with enough protein and healthy fats, and finding an approach that works for your lifestyle and stage of life. We also dive into mindset—how to break the cycle of all-or-nothing thinking, deal with emotional eating, and stop pressing the “f*ck-it button” when things don’t go to plan.He also opens up about his own journey from unfulfilled teacher to leading voice in health and fitness, and the mindset shifts that helped him create a new path. Whether you’re feeling stuck in your health goals, overwhelmed by stress, or just need a reset to feel better in yourself, this episode is full of real talk and practical tools to help you move forward!This episode is brought to you by fabÜ SHROOMS ANDROPAUSE FOR MEN, the latest addition to the fabÜ range.
