Every time I talk about this, people think I’m targeting them directly.
I’m not.

This is a pattern I’ve seen over and over—coaching people in person, online, and in myself:
The confusion between what we want and what we need.

When you're trying to build new habits or improve your health, your old self starts whispering in your ear:

But do you really need it?
Or do you just want it—because it’s easier, more comfortable, or what you’ve always done?

This shows up all the time in the language people use.
A client says, “I need a rest day.”
So I ask: “Do you need one—or do you just want one?”

There’s nothing wrong with rest—but let’s be honest about what rest actually is.
It’s not a day of Netflix and UberEats.
It’s still movement. Still nourishment. Still aligned with your goals.

So the next time you catch yourself saying, “I need…”
—“I need that dessert.”
—“I need to skip today’s workout.”
—“I need to stay up and binge this show.”

Pause.
Ask yourself: Is this a need—or just a want?
Because left unchecked, those wants disguised as needs will quietly pull you away from the life you’re trying to build.

In this solo episode of The True Form Podcast, I take a step back and reflect on the past 10 conversations—each one packed with insights on health, longevity, mindset, movement, and more.

I’ll break down the most powerful takeaways from recent guests like Jon Sabes, Jordana Borensztajn, Ashleigh Jade, and Tom Rock—and how I’m using those lessons in my own life and the True Form Protocol.

Then, I dive into some great listener questions:

How do I fit in fitness, health, work, and relationships?

Do I edit the podcast myself?

And how do you deal with low iron when you’re trying to improve your health?

If you’re looking to live a healthier, more intentional life—or just want to hear how I’m applying what I learn—this one’s for you.

🧠 Topics include:

Building your “resilience muscle”

Using humour to improve communication

Gut health, hormones & nutrition

What “fitness” really means

The power of wearable tech and recovery

“What advice would you give your younger self?”
It’s a popular podcast question—and honestly, it’s a terrible one.

You can’t change the past. Even if you could, do you really think your younger self would listen? I know for sure my 21-year-old self wouldn’t have taken advice from the 37-year-old me. He’d probably just say, “What would you know, old man?”

So what’s the point of thinking about advice you can’t use?

Here’s a better question—one I picked up from my recent podcast guest, Jon:

That flips everything.

You can’t change the past, but you can shape your future.
So, take a moment and actually write it down:

• Who do you want to be at 90?
• How do you want to feel?
• What do you want your life to look like?
• And what would that future version of you tell you to start doing today?

Most people never think that far ahead.
But if you know where you want to be, you can start making choices now to get there.

I think about this all the time—and it’s exactly why I live the way I do. I’m not just focused on today or tomorrow. I’m making sure I like where I’ll end up when I’m 90.

Have you thought about it?
