Don’t start over.

Start supported.

If you’re over 35, trying to “eat healthy” around work, family and stress… but your energy, weight or progress aren’t matching the effort…

You don’t need another diet.

You need a clear, personalised plan for your body.

That’s exactly why I’ve created the Personalised Nutrition Report – a 17‑page Calorie, Macro & Portion Guide built just for you.

Here’s what you get inside your report:

✅Your daily calories and macros, calculated from your age, s*x, height, weight, activity and goal
✅Exact hand‑portion targets per meal (no scales, no apps)
✅Done‑for‑you meal ideas that match your preferred eating style (e.g. Mediterranean, etc.)
✅A weekly tracking sheet so you can see if you’re actually hitting what your body needs
✅Simple rules for adjusting portions if fat loss stalls or muscle gain is too slow
✅“Eat more / eat some / eat less” food lists so you’re never guessing what to put on your plate

No starvation.

No macro spreadsheets.

Just a simple, personalised roadmap you can start using today.

For the first 15 people, I’m giving these reports away FREE.

After that, each personalised report will be $𝟮𝟳 𝗨𝗦𝗗.

If you’ve been winging it… if you’re bored of guessing… and you want to know exactly how much to eat for your goal:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 ‘E𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻’ 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁

For years I told myself I was “eating clean”.

Then I tracked a normal weekday.

The story in my head and the numbers on the page did not match.

Too little protein.

Too many “just a quick snack” moments.

Not enough actual meals.

No client would have got away with that. Why was I?

So I stopped trying to be perfect and started eating like an adult with responsibilities.

Here’s the simple framework I still use, and that I give to busy SLT/executives:

1️⃣ 3 anchor meals, not grazing

Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Each with protein, fibre, and colour (veg/fruit).

2️⃣ Protein is the non‑negotiable

Palm‑sized portion every meal.
If I miss it, I don’t “make it up” with snacks — I adjust the next meal.

3️⃣ Decide 80% of your food the night before

2–3 minutes to ask:
“What am I eating tomorrow?”
“Where am I eating it?”

It kills 90% of the impulsive stuff.
Instead of chasing “clean”, I chase clarity.

Do I know what I’m eating tomorrow?
Is it aligned with my goals 80% of the time?

If yes, good.
If no, I fix that on paper before I’m hungry, tired, or stressed.

If your nutrition feels chaotic, try this for the next 7 days:

3 meals.
Protein at each.
Decide them the night before.
You’ll be amazed how much easier everything else gets.

“H𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗖𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿”

When I hit my 40s, I realised something uncomfortable.

My old training style didn’t fit my new life.

I could still “grind” in the gym… but I couldn’t recover like a 25‑year‑old, and I definitely couldn’t justify 90‑minute sessions three times a week.

For a while, I pretended nothing had changed.

My joints disagreed.

So I made a decision:

Either I adapt my training to my reality…
Or I slowly train myself into the ground.

Here’s what I did (and what I now do with a lot of my exec clients):

1️⃣ Two full‑body strength sessions per week

30–40 minutes, max.
3–4 big lifts: squat, hinge, push, pull.
Stop 1–2 reps before failure.

2️⃣ No “fancy” exercises unless the basics are covered

If my squat, deadlift, push, and row aren’t progressing, I don’t earn curls, flyes, or fluff.

3️⃣ I measure performance, not exhaustion

Log the weight and reps.
If I’m a little stronger over 4–6 weeks, it’s working.
If I’m just more tired, something’s wrong.
The result?

Less time in the gym.

More strength.

More room for recovery and real life.

If you’re over 40 and still chasing the feeling of being destroyed after every workout, ask yourself:

“Do I want to be tired or do I want to be strong?”

Pick 4 movements.

Train them twice a week.

Track them for 8 weeks.

Let your logbook, not your ego, be the judge. -40s

“T𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗠𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁”

A few years ago, my body did what my calendar never would.

It shut me down.

I was training clients, running a business, saying yes to everything… and sleeping 5–6 broken hours a night.

On paper I was “fit”.

In reality I was falling asleep on the sofa, snapping at people I cared about, and living on caffeine.

One week I woke up, looked in the mirror, and thought:
“I wouldn’t let a client run themselves like this. Why am I doing it to myself?”

So I treated myself like a client and did 3 things:

1️⃣ Set a sleep floor, not a target

Non‑negotiable 7 hours in bed.
Phone out of the bedroom.
Lights‑out alarm 30 minutes before I needed to sleep.
2️⃣ Created a shut‑down ritual

Last email by 8:30 p.m.
5 minutes to write tomorrow’s top 3 tasks.
10 minutes reading something non‑work.
3️⃣ Protected one evening a week

No clients.
No admin.
Just dinner and time with my wife.
Within 2 weeks:

Energy went up.

Training felt better.

I was calmer with people.

Same life. Same workload. Different rules.

If you’re over 35 and chronically “tired but busy”, don’t wait for your body to force a reset.

Pick one of the three above and commit to it for the next 14 days.

Then re‑assess.

Your work won’t suffer.
Your health already is.

They fail because the rules they’re following were written for 25-year-old gym rats with no responsibilities.

I’ve spent 25 years coaching people in the real world – including military personnel, shift workers, head teachers, senior leaders, and founders.

Same pattern every time: long hours, high stress, “being healthy” in theory… but tired, heavier, and quietly worried about the future.

That’s why I built my Executive Longevity system around 3 things only:

🏋️Strength.

🔋Energy.

📈Recovery.

No trends. No 90‑minute workouts. Just what busy high-performers can actually sustain.

✋ Doing what worked at 30 can sabotage results at 40.

🫵 You push harder, sweat more, yet the scale and mirror don’t budge. Your body feels tired instead of strong.

🫶 Different season, different strategy—train smarter, not younger.

Here at active NRG, our busy clients reverse the trend by only doing TWO 20-Minute Strength Workouts a week!

It's not about doing more, it's about doing better!

It’s mid‑January.

Instead of:

Dragging yourself into the office

Undoing a month of damage

Promising you’ll “start properly in February”

You’ve already:

Done 14 days of intentional movement

Cleaned up the worst of the holiday habits

Proved you can run your calendar and look after your body

That’s the whole point of the 14‑Day Exec Reboot:

Short enough that you can’t say you’re “too busy.”

Intense enough that you actually feel different at the end.

Then, if you want, we can talk about what the next 12 weeks look like.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁: 𝟭𝟰 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗻.

For 40+ founders and execs, here’s what 14 days can do:

✅Stop the December slide
✅Clear the brain fog
✅Let you wake up without instantly reaching for caffeine
✅Prove you can fit 2×20‑minute sessions into a real calendar

The 14‑Day Exec Reboot is not a fat‑loss miracle.

It’s a high‑leverage reset:

You get:

📅A simple plan for 14 days
🏋️♂️2×20‑minute strength sessions per week
🍽️️Clear, “no app needed” food rules
✅Check‑ins so you actually finish it

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁: by mid‑January, you feel like you’ve taken the handbrake off.

If you want to start the year with a win instead of another vague intention, comment 14 DAYS and I’ll send the Reboot overview and start dates.

The problem isn’t that you don’t care.

It’s that you’re trying to jump straight to a 12‑month identity with zero recent evidence.

The fastest way to build a new identity is a short, undeniable streak:

14 days where you move on purpose
14 days where you eat like someone who values their energy
14 days where you keep a promise to yourself, daily

At the end of that, you’re not a different person…
..but you have proof you’re not the guy/gal who “can’t stick to anything” anymore.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟰‑D𝗮𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿:

✅2×20‑minute sessions per week
✅Simple food rules you can follow in airports and boardrooms
✅Light, daily check‑ins so you don’t quietly disappear
✅You come out with momentum and a different story about who you are.

If you want 2025 to be the last year, you say “New Year, New Me,” DM me IDENTITY, and I’ll show you how the 14‑day Reboot works.

Day 9 – 5 Questions Before You Commit To Another Year Like This
Day 9: Before you plan Q1 targets, audit the thing that powers them: your energy.

Ask yourself:

If I run next year like this year, where is my health in 3 years?
What did I ignore this year? (labs, pain, sleep, stress signals)
When did I feel my best this year? What was different in those weeks?
What’s one health pattern I absolutely refuse to repeat next year?
What would be different if I had 20–30% more energy, every day, by February?
You don’t need a 6‑month overhaul to start changing those answers.
You need a tight, focused window where you interrupt the pattern.

That’s exactly why I built the 14‑Day Exec Reboot:
A short, sharp reset for 40+ founders and execs who want to start the year with more energy instead of more promises.

If those questions hit a nerve, comment REBOOT and I’ll send you the details and dates for the January intake. -Health
