Optimisation of natural hormones to dramatically change body composition.

I like to pretend I didn’t know how I got this way — but I do.

Years of not sleeping.
Punishing training limited to basic planes of motion.
Letting the pressures of being a business owner quietly dismantle my nervous system, until chronic hypertension became the background noise of life.

Hitting 40 was a huge moment for me.
There was no way I could choose to live the next half of my life the same way.

Everything had to go.
Everything had to change.

I put my trust in a vision I hold for my future — while knowing, very clearly, that I had no chance of getting there on my own.

My trainer, — well, she’s something else.
Her presence alone is regulating.
Her understanding of the human body is beyond exception — deeply knowledgeable, deeply intuitive.

Ironically, we never actually do yoga 🧘‍♂️
This was just something I asked to film as part of my “homework.”

Maybe it would be fun to show you how she actually makes me suffer — all in the name of taking responsibility for my shortcomings, undoing the damage, unraveling the self, and discovering how movement reshapes the way we move through

Our health hasn’t declined because humans suddenly became weak.

It’s declined because modern life keeps our nervous systems in constant exploration mode — alert, vigilant, scanning, never quite finishing anything.

We scroll.
We consume.
We stay stimulated.
And we call it “winding down”.

But novelty costs energy.
Vigilance overrides rest.
And melatonin can’t do its job when arousal never drops.

So we end up:
tired but wired,
calm but restless,
connected but strangely disconnected.

Sleep gets lighter.
Attention gets shorter.
Mood gets flatter.
And being unwell slowly becomes “normal”.

This isn’t a discipline problem.
And it’s not a personal failure.

It’s what happens when time and energy are quietly traded for stimulation, comparison, and the opinions of strangers — all day, every day.

You can’t unwind what was never allowed to resolve.

And sleep isn’t fixed at night.
It’s earned across the day.

Just something worth sitting with.

Ten years ago, all I did was party, take loads of drugs, hang out with beautiful women — and pretend to be a personal trainer.

TAKE ME BACK!

(mad! I was already on my second Salus studio

Doing the work even when you’re tired.
That matters.

But discipline without direction is just effort on repeat.

Most people don’t fail because they lack willpower.
They fail because they’re working hard inside a system that isn’t built to support progress.

When you invest in knowledge, you stop guessing.
When you apply strategy, effort compounds instead of leaking.

Same work ethic.
Better structure.
Higher return.

That’s not being softer.
That’s being smarter.

And over time, the percentage chance of success doesn’t just improve —
it stacks.

Now zoom out.

Progress doesn’t come from effort alone.
It comes from where you apply it.

Food.
Movement.
Sleep.
Stress.

These are the foundations.
They’re not optional.
They’re the base of the pyramid.

Peptides don’t replace that work.
They sit above it.

They’re not shortcuts.
They’re refinements.

When the basics are unstable, advanced tools do very little — or add noise.
When the foundations are solid, they can support repair, signalling, and efficiency.

That’s the difference between chasing tools
and understanding timing and position.

Build the base first.
Then apply precision.

Hard work is respectable.
Informed hard work is inevitable.

A human development coach
is just a fancy personal trainer.

(Alright, I’m joking.)

It’s not completely wrong —
movement is a primary tool.
It always will be.

But here’s the difference.

We don’t use movement just to burn calories
or leave you flat on the floor wondering what hit you.

We use it as a biochemical signal —
to support repair, regulation, and development
across specific systems of the body.

Yes, that includes fat loss.
But it also includes:

• calming the nervous system
• improving brain and emotional state
• reducing baseline tension
• breathing mechanics and CO₂ tolerance
• digestion and detox pathways
• tissue quality, strength, and joint health
• coordination, movement quality, and usable energy

Movement is the entry point.

Progress, though, depends on how sleep, nutrition, lifestyle, habits, and daily routines are actually held together.

And this is where most coaching quietly taps out.

Because implementation isn’t limited by knowledge alone.
It’s shaped by state, capacity, environment, identity, and beliefs.

Which is why the real coaching happens in person —
often off the gym floor.

Not just check-ins.
Not just videos.
Not just commentary from afar.

But real conversations.
Real context.
Real-time decisions and integration.

That’s where the real work begins.

The pursuit of success nearly cost him everything.

Not loudly.
Not dramatically.
Quietly — the way it usually does.

This isn’t a body transformation.
And it isn’t “the look.”

What you’re seeing is a system finally operating as it was meant to.

Clear eyes.
Colour back in the skin.
Presence instead of tension.
Strength without strain.

Here’s the part most business owners will recognise:

Bret didn’t look unhealthy.
He wasn’t overweight.
He functioned. He showed up.

From the outside, he was fine.

Internally, he was running on borrowed physiology — adrenaline, responsibility, and pressure most people will never truly understand.

This isn’t rare.
It’s common among high-performing business owners, especially those running multiple locations with no real off-switch.

Long days.
High standards.
Leading from the front.

Then home — where the real responsibility begins.

Being the man who provides, protects, and holds it together doesn’t mean your needs are ignored.
They get postponed.

Until there’s nothing left to borrow from.

This went far beyond training and nutrition.

So we stripped it back:
multiple blood panels, organic acids testing, stool analysis — no guessing, just data.

What stood out most wasn’t weight or fitness.
It was severe immune suppression driven by chronic stress.

Not because he was sick —
but because his body had never been given permission to be well.

Chronic stress doesn’t just weaken the immune system.
It silences it.

The process wasn’t optimisation.
It was resuscitation.

And now — look again.

At the being.
Not the body.

Capacity.
Clarity.
Calm.

This isn’t a 12-week transformation.
This HUMAN

If you’re a business owner who looks “fine” but feels permanently wired, tired, inflamed, or switched on —
this is your invitation to examine the life you’re building…
and whether the system carrying it is built to last.

Happy 50th Birthday. 🎂 🎉 🎈

The constitution of your strength, your power, your character, and your kindness is limitless.

It has been the container that allowed me to heal, to grow, and to feel at ease being my weird and wonderful self. This is a priceless gift, one I will be eternally grateful for.

Over the past eight years, I have watched you evolve into an inspirational figure, someone people admire, adore, and deeply respect. Not through force or performance, but through your love for others and your genuine devotion to your work.

It is an honour to have you in my life.

And it is an honour to support you as you step into this next chapter,as an entrepreneur and creator of a space where strength, discipline, and care are lived.

You are standing mearly at the midpoint of the journey, with a vast horizon still ahead.

May every moment be blessed with joy springing from the deep, internal love you have so consciously cultivated within yourself.

Śrī Mātrā Namaḥ.
Śrī Devī Namaḥ.

A bow to the Goddess — the Divine Feminine in all her forms.

Stop guessing your way to growth. Here’s a 3-day split that actually works.

No program is ever truly perfect… but this one comes pretty damn close.

Here’s why:
✅ Glutes hit from every angle — lengthened, shortened, and everything in between.
✅ Hamstrings get the work they need to balance your physique.
✅ Quads stay in the mix without taking over.
✅ Upper body is simple, effective, and keeps everything in proportion.

No fluff. No b***y bands, and no burnout.

Just proven patterns — thrusts, RDLs, Bulgarians, step-ups — done right, progressed properly, and placed where they’ll give you the most bang for your buck.

That’s how you grow glutes that look strong and perform strong.
