Every mother, sister, and grandmother on the planet will experience the topic of today's conversation.....

We're joined today by the amazing Dr. Anna Lowe to tackle all things MENOPAUSE and entering midlife.

Anna is a leading voice in women’s health, on a mission to change the conversation around menopause and how it impacts women in a multitude of ways.

Expect to learn what menopause is, why it happens, what age it starts, the effects of "meno-washing" on women (including what supplements to take) plus why strength training should be a health INTERVENTION.

This episode speaks directly to not only women entering or living in later life but how also how their family’s can support them. How coaches can better understand their clients AND how we can break the stigma on this still massively misunderstood, under-discussed, and often brushed aside topic.

Please forward this episode to a loved one in your life who NEEDS to hear this message.

On this episode of the Fit Dads Podcast, Ryan and Brad discuss one of the most controversial ideas in modern sport, the Enhanced Games.
A competition where performance-enhancing drugs aren’t banned….in fact they’re part of the game!
We break down what it is, why it’s happening and wade in on whether this is the future of elite performance or just a headline-grabbing experiment waiting to go wrong.
Plus we get into the ethics of it all and ask questions like;
What lines does it cross?
Where’s the money coming from?
What happens to young athletes looking up to this?
Does the fact it’s “enhanced” make it better or worse?
Could more athletes be pulled away from traditional competition?
Plus we consider “would we actually watch it?”
As always, it’s honest opinions, strong takes, and plenty for you to make your own mind up.

We're joined by Becky Farrar, who is a woman of many talents, and when Ryan & Brad saw her on stage at the Inspire 2026 live event, we knew she had an awesome message to share.

Performer, teacher, parent and identity coach. After years of being a trained dancer, Becky transitioned into teaching by setting up her own dance academy.

But she knew something was missing. So she followed her gut, embraced the FEAR and took a leap of faith. Now, she helps others forge their identity to embrace the next version of themselves.

Expect deep chats about courage, her fantastic view on FEAR and how being a young mum shaped her world and parenting style.

The Fit Dads are joined by another amazing guest and she brought outfits!

Kelly Buddery BEM is the UK’s leading off-ice specialist, bringing decades of skating knowledge and wisdom.

Many of you who’ve just watched the winter olympics may have seen Elite Skating and how effortless these athletes make it look. But where most people see the glitter, costumes, and gravity-defying jumps, there are actually years of hard graft.

Behind every clean landing are thousands of hours of brutal off-ice conditioning. Mastering strength, coordination, balance and mental toughness. Kelly Buddery sits in a fascinating corner of this elegant sport.Kelly’s here to share why skating isn’t all just for show, it’s actually hardcore biomechanics wearing sequins.

Expect to learn how to get into skating, the career options, how difficult skating is plus Kelly's jounrey from "unsure on the ice" to cherographing the European Skating Championships Openinbg Ceremony.

Follow Kelly on Instagram @kellysheffield_off_iceschool plus her amazing online class and showgirl camps.

The Fit Dads have their say on the incredible Louis Theroux documentary “Inside the Manosphere”

It’s taken the industry by storm, for all the wrong reasons. One-sided monogamy, homophobia and “views over values” are just a few turbulent talking points from Louis Theroux’s latest work.

This in-depth dive into the “Manosphere” is a world that influences millions of young men around the world.

In one of our most explosive episodes yet, expect to hear our thoughts on why this movement exists, the damage it’s causing to young men and how parents can expose it.

Plus, Ryan & Brad have a warning for these young men about mental health and the danger of false idols.
