5 Habits That Changed My Life (and Could Change Yours Too)

In this week’s High Performance Human podcast, I’m joined once again by my “exotic-accented” co-host Beth to share the five habits that have made the biggest difference to my health, performance, and longevity over the past decade. From recovering after a serious bike crash to fostering a very enthusiastic guide dog puppy, Simon and Beth dive into how small, consistent changes can have a huge long-term impact.

You’ll hear:

• Why daily mobility work became non-negotiable after injury
• The link between sleep quality and mood, recovery, and long-term brain health
• How reducing alcohol and sugar/ultra-processed foods has transformed energy levels
• The importance of strength training for functional fitness and ageing well
• The “next habit” Simon is adding — and Beth’s new challenges

Expect practical tips, relatable stories, and a few laughs along the way (plus some background “input” from Olympia the Labrador).
