I’m a working professional, with a background in well-being- however I have lost my own way since my beautiful boys came into the world. I’m ready to take back control and be the best version of me. With time being my biggest obstacle- I brought the gym to me and have my own space to workout now- so let’s do this 💪🏻

Hi all. I'm Daran, 46yo ADHDr Dad living near to Reading, Berkshire, UK. My size is slowly increasing as my age does which is an obvious concern. I am currently taking an SSRI for BPD which effects my blood pressure (high) which then effects any type of Gym induction because its high. I really don't want to take another synthetic med and start the never ending synthetic layering process of drugs for drugs! My goal is to improve fitness, reduce fat and come away from the SSRI. Glad to be included (even if a few days delayed!) All the best, Daran

Carbohydrates power your training, but the type you choose matters, especially if you want consistent energy, better recovery, and long-term muscle health. Fibre slows digestion, stabilises blood sugar, and supports the gut microbiome that influences inflammation and nutrient absorption. The right combination of performance carbs and fibre can give you both the fuel you need and the recovery edge you want. Here are seven smart carb sources plus a bonus snack option. Each delivers fibre along with the right carb profile to fit your training schedule.

Finished the first 30 days and this is where i am at. 1. No inflammation in joints💪 2. Loads more energy than expected⚡️ 3. Greater clarity of thought💭🗯️🗯️ 4. Renewed enjoyment of cooking🥘🧑‍🍳 5. 5cm deduction in waist measurement📏📏⚖️ 6. 7kg weight loss ⚖️⚖️ I will be starting the 30 day gut challenge in 3 days time. As I don’t wish to waste food I have given myself this short period of time to finish portions of food that are unable to be frozen. @Mark Bryce this challenge has been life changing… it has provided me with the best start to the rest of my life…I am truly grateful that you provided such an amazing opportunity to, not only myself, but also to the other members of the community that have provided encouragement and support to myself during this challenge..You really are an inspiring leader… thank you ever so much🙏🙏🤗🧐
