• Get Me Sugar-Free: Ian’s 42kg Transformation and the Mindset Behind It

  EP164: Get Me Sugar-Free: Ian’s 42kg Transformation and the Mindset Behind It *Please note - this episode is a bit more sweary than usual, just in case you listen with children in the room or are sensitive to F-bombs being dropped. This week on the Weight Loss Warrior Podcast, I’m joined by Ian, host of the 50KG Drop , 0% Drop and Sugar Free Living Podcasts. His own incredible story of transformation is as inspiring as it is honest. Having lost 42 kilograms through a sugar-free lifestyle, Ian has completely turned his life around - not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Once a high-performing sales director managing over 140 people, he was constantly under pressure, burnt out, and stuck in a cycle of stress, poor eating habits, and self-sabotage. But through hard work, reflection, and major lifestyle changes, he’s now thriving with a new sense of peace and purpose. In this episode, we dive into: 🍖 The power of a sugar-free lifestyle - and why Ian believes it saved his life 🧠 How stress, anxiety, and success can all fuel self-destructive behaviour 🧊 The role of cold plunges and saunas in managing mental health and focus 💬 Honest reflections on sobriety, social pressure, and men’s mental health 🍼 The emotional side of fertility challenges and how it’s shaped his outlook 🎯 Why weight loss goals mean nothing without mindset and balance behind them Ian’s story is raw, relatable, and full of truth bombs. It’s not about quick fixes or perfection - it’s about self-awareness, consistency, and healing from the inside out. 👉 If you’re ready to take the next step on your own journey, I’d love for you to join The Rising Warrior - my online community designed to support people through real-life transformation with mindset coaching, accountability, and structure that works.

• Finding Strength Through Struggles: Jayne’s Journey

  EP163: Finding Strength Through Struggles: Jayne’s Journey In this week’s episode of the Weight Loss Warrior Podcast, I sit down with Jayne, a proud member of the Rising Warrior community and a long-time listener of the show. Jayne’s journey is one of resilience, honesty, and sheer determination. From the challenges of lockdown and menopause, to managing osteoarthritis and even facing a cancer scare, Jayne has had more than her fair share of obstacles. But instead of letting those moments define her, she’s found ways to adapt, to keep going, and to focus on what truly matters. In this powerful conversation, Jayne and I talk about: 🌀 Breaking free from the endless merry-go-round of diets 🧠 Why mindset and accountability matter more than the scales 🦴 Navigating weight loss while living with osteoarthritis 👭 The power of “finding your people” and support networks 🎯 Why focusing on small goals (like half a stone at a time) leads to long-term success ❤️ How she’s created a “support package” that works uniquely for her Jayne’s story is a reminder that weight loss isn’t linear - and it’s never just about food or the scales. It’s about resilience, mindset, and community. 👉 If you’re ready to take that next step in your own journey, I’d love to welcome you into The Rising Warrior. It’s where the lessons from this podcast come alive, with weekly check-ins, mindset coaching, and real accountability. You can try it free for 4 days at therisingwarrior.com/freetrial.
