Sat in the sauna with a view of the pool and the sun on my back, and I'll be honest: this is one of the best resets I've found.

Heat. Quiet. A proper chance to breathe, drink some water and just be. No phone, no noise.

Big thanks to the crew at Sauna Crew NZ for looking after us. It's a great spot to come and connect, whether that's with mates, whānau or just yourself.

Saunas are great for your wellbeing. Many people find regular heat sessions help them relax, unwind, sleep better and clear the head. And I believe connection is just as powerful. Sitting side by side and having a real kōrero with someone does wonders for your mental health.

If you've been feeling flat, stressed or stuck in your own head, get out, sweat it out and bring someone with you. Check on your mates. Ask twice.

Kia kaha, look after yourselves.

I get asked all the time what I actually take day to day. 👀 Most longivity specialist say this is one of the top 5 must haves.We are inundated with products so getting bang for your buck and it actually working inside your body is key
Juice Plus+ Omega Blend in. Swipe to see what's on the label and the 3 things I look for on any omega label:
1️⃣ EPA and DHA, looked at separately
2️⃣ Where the omega-3s come from (mine are from algae and plant seed oils)
3️⃣ Third-party testing
Read the label first, then decide what's right for you. If you'd like to know more, DM me "OMEGA" and I'll send you the details. 🙌

Why I focus on health. Because it matters.
We're not just "overfat." Most of us are under-muscled and under-nourished.
For years we've been told to chase a number on the scales. But the better question is: how much muscle are you carrying, and are you feeding it?
Muscle is your metabolic engine. Building and keeping it supports:
💪 Blood sugar control. Muscle is the biggest place your body stores glucose, so more muscle means better glucose handling.
🔥 Metabolic health. It keeps your metabolism active and improves insulin sensitivity.
🦴 Bone strength. Resistance training loads your bones and helps protect against osteoporosis.
🧬 Cancer and longevity. Research links higher muscle mass and strength with better outcomes and longer life.
⚡ Energy and independence. It keeps you strong, mobile and capable as you age.
Where to start:
Lift or do resistance work 2-3 times a week
Get enough protein at every meal
Eat real, nutrient-dense food
Stay consistent. Strength is built over years, not weeks
Stop asking "how do I lose weight?"
Start asking "how do I build strength and nourish my body?"
That's the reframe. That's why I do this.
Kia kaha. Build strong, live well. 🙌

This was Mount Cook a few years ago ..

🧊 Cold plunge: 3 minutes, big shift.
Kia ora whānau! Here's what's happening in your body when you get in:
⚡ Cold shock proteins switch on. Your cells go into protect-and-repair mode.
🛡️ Stronger antioxidant defences. Regular cold exposure helps your body manage free radical stress.
🔥 Norepinephrine spikes. Focus, alertness and energy, fast.
😄 Dopamine lifts and stays elevated. That clear, calm, "I can take on anything" feeling lasts for hours.
No coffee. No shortcuts. Just you, the cold, and a better day.
Start with 30-60 seconds and build up. Breathe slow and stay calm. Cold shower 💪

What a week and weekend! 🙌
Finished the weekend with golf, a few beers with the boys, and a sauna. It's the little consistent protocol I do when nobody's watching. 🔥
Sauna: Great for relaxing, switching off and recovery after a big week. Heat exposure can help ease muscle tension and support better sleep.
Tomorrow's morning drink: beetroot, carrot and ginger juice 🥕
Beetroot is rich in natural nitrates, which support blood flow and stamina.
Carrot brings beta-carotene for eye and skin health.
Ginger supports digestion and has natural anti-inflammatory properties.
Breakfast bowl: Greek yoghurt topped with chia seeds, blueberries and my ground seed mix.
Linseed, walnuts and pumpkin seeds: I grind them to a powder, because ground linseed is easier for your body to absorb. They give you plant omega-3s, fibre, magnesium and zinc.
Chia seeds add more fibre and omega-3s to keep you full.
Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants (anthocyanins).
Greek yoghurt is high in protein and good for gut health.
It's not about being perfect, it's about being consistent. Small habits, done daily, add up. 💪
What's one little habit you do when no one's watching?
Consistency

This is the hormone people pay thousands to inject.
Growth hormone repairs tissue, protects muscle, and burns fat.
But you don't need a needle.
You need 3 minutes.
6 sprints. 30 seconds each.
That's it.
Researchers put people through repeated 30-second all-out sprints and drew blood afterwards.
Growth hormone came back 771% higher.
Nearly 8 times above resting levels.
Not from an hour of cardio.
Not from a 2-hour gym session.
From 3 minutes of real work.
Here's what makes it work:
Your body reads a maximal sprint as an emergency. Fast-twitch fibres fire at full capacity. Lactate spikes. The nervous system responds with a sharp growth hormone release.
Dr Gabrielle Lyon and Dr Stacy Sims have both been clear — this kind of intensity is what most people over 40 are missing. And it's exactly what's costing them muscle, recovery, and years.
The pharmaceutical industry built a billion-dollar business around this hormone.
The gym gave it to you for free.
You just have to be willing to go hard for 30 seconds.
