Some of the most effective recovery strategies aren’t flashy, they’re simple, human, and often ignored.

In this episode, we cover four recovery methods that genuinely improve energy, performance, and long-term health, yet are rarely prioritised.

Extra sleep, true relaxation, reducing stimulant load, and doing absolutely nothing all play a bigger role than most people realise, especially for busy executives running on chronic stress.

If you’re training hard but still feel flat, wired, or exhausted, this episode will help you rethink what real recovery actually looks like.

4 Recovery Methods You’re Not Doing (But Should Be)

Not all recovery tools are created equal.

In this episode, we take a clear-eyed look at five popular recovery methods that are overhyped, misunderstood, or simply ineffective for most people.

Ice baths, massage guns, static stretching, IV drips, and sauna use all sound impressive, but do they actually improve recovery, performance, or results?

We break down what the evidence really says, when these tools might help, and when they’re just adding stress or distraction without meaningful benefit.

Recovery isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what works.

5 Sneaky Ways to Get More Steps & Lose Weight

More training doesn’t always mean better results.

In this episode, we cover three clear signs you’re doing "too much", often without realising it. Rising resting heart rate, dropping strength numbers, and changes in mood are all early warning signals your body is under more stress than it can handle.

We explain why these signals matter, what’s happening physiologically, and how to course-correct before burnout, injury, or regression sets in.

You’ll also learn how to fix it properly, not by quitting training, but by adjusting intensity, volume, and recovery to get better results with less effort.

Smarter training starts with knowing when to pull back.
