So that’s what men are thinking!

What a great podcast. Really interesting insight into the world of middle aged men. Women are lucky to be able to freely speak about their thoughts and fears so it’s great to see an opportunity here for men. I hope it helps some people feel less alone. Keep up the good work

  • In today’s episode of the our podcast, we welcome Jerry Colonna, a leading executive coach, and CEO of Reboot.io. He shares profound insights into midlife, personal growth, and finding purpose. Jerry, known for his experience as a venture capitalist turned coach, discusses his journey through midlife, emphasising the importance of confronting inner turmoil to achieve a more conscious life. Jerry’s story includes a symbolic encounter with a spider during a soul-searching retreat, which led him to realise that worrying excessively about the future, especially about his children, was hindering his growth. This moment of clarity is memorialised by a tattoo of a spider, symbolising his lesson in worry and care. Jerry’s reflections on midlife are deeply personal, involving an internal battle where external success did not equate to internal happiness. His path to understanding involved introspection and recognising that true contentment comes from aligning one’s internal and external worlds. A great episode you cannot miss!

  • 🎉 FIRST EPISODE OF 2024 🎉 An episode dedicated to #neurodiversity and #ADHD. @carolinewilliams_science is a medical journalist, who has written for a range of mainstream publications and medical journals, including @theatlantic, the @bbc @bostonglobe @guardian @newscientist and @nytimes . She is also the author of “Move!: The New Science of Body Over Mind”. 🧠However, David discovered Caroline after reading her article for the New Scientist, “What’s behind the recent explosion in ADHD?”.🧠 Not only was it very well written, but David was able to relate to the story behind the article – where Caroline had been diagnosed as having ADHD in her 40s. While this led to some lively discussion between David and Caroline, Volker got completely lost as the conversation jumped around so much (which David was certainly unaware of – a great example of the difference between a neurotypical and neurodiverse brain!). Through her career as a medical writer, writing about focus and concentration and often finding herself distracted, Caroline realised she might have ADHD herself - receiving an official diagnosis at the tender age of 48. She was often told at school and by her parents that she was overactive or couldn’t concentrate. Now that we, as a society, have started talking more about it, she got more support to look into the subject. Caroline went to the New Scientist to write about ADHD . She wanted to investigate whether, as some journalists have claimed, that diagnoses are rocketing due to private diagnosis, where it’s in the organisation’s financial interests. However, Caroline’s research has revealed that we are still under - diagnosing in the UK.

  • Do you have any questions about losing weight in middle age? Because it’s not as easy as it was in our 30s or earlier! On Friday we’re interviewing Roderick Lambert , who helps “busy Midlifers lose weight forever and regain their metabolic health.” Roderick says: “If you’re ~40 to ~60 years old you might well find you’re struggling with overweight/obesity or your Doctor has started to warn you about cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes or insulin resistance. Maybe you’re fed up with being tired all the time, feeling blue about your prospects or frustrated at your waning performance in all walks of life. “I know, I’ve been there. “I struggled with obesity for 15+ years until my doctor told me that I could have a heart attack in 5 years. “Problem was, the only advice my doctors ever gave me was “eat less, move more and get a less stressful job”. “As if I didn’t know that... “I even did it once, but the weight quickly came back with interest! “Then I learned, by chance, that it wasn’t about spending hours in the gym and starving myself. “I jumped down the rabbit hole of scientific literature and then applied what I learned on myself. “In 6 months I was 20kg lighter and my waist circumference was optimal!” So let us know if you have any burning #weightloss questions by popping them in the comments. #midlifemetabolichealth #diet #coaching #nutrition #menshealthawareness
