145: Setting and Getting your Health Goal with Martin Whitaker

It's episode145.  

This week I am joined by fitness and nutrition expert Martin Whitaker. Martin and I have embarked on a joint venture to support clients looking to lose weight and transform their health sustainably by collaborating on the mind and body aspect. In this episode Martin introduces himself and I share with him my goal for 2025 - to lose 10llbs and run a sub 2hr half- marathon. I run through my 'Cabbage, Slice and Sprout' plan to achieve this and he shares his own tips, ideas and thoughts.
