  • {SPECIAL} Why I wrote How to Live an Awesome Life - OUT NOW

    {SPECIAL} Why I wrote How to Live an Awesome Life - OUT NOW
    Jan 5 2023
    Many have asked "Ben, why did you write How to Live an Awesome Life", why haven't you written a nutrition and health book? Well my mission has always been much bigger than that, its what I have strived for personally, and have tried to foster and inspire in others. Also, nothing works in isolation, you can't optimise some areas of your life without others, it has to all work in tandem, thats why I've written my new 11 step formula to living your most awesome life, which is out today.

    In this show I explain why I wrote the book, how my journey shaped it, what the 11 chapters cover, and what you'll get from reading or listening to the book.

    OUT NOW on Amazon, Audible, Kindle, just search my name, you'll see it, it's also in many book stores around the world!

  • #684 - Knowing when to quit

    #684 - Knowing when to quit
    Oct 6 2022
    Knowing when to quit something in life is key, otherwise things sour, we get resentful, and we aren't doing things that keep us fulfilled and whole. It could be a job, a relationship, a commitment to someone else. We often use logic to decide whether to quit or not, but this is wrong, which I'll explain in this show.

    This is the penultimate podcast for Ben Coomber Radio, if you listen in, I'll explain why it's time to quit...

    #683 - Metabolism, can we increase it?

    We're often sold products to help us "increase our metabolism". Many believe they have "a slow metabolism". There are many metabolic myths, this podcast breaks them all down, defines both metabolism and metabolic rate, how we can increase it, whether products like 'Lumen' - a metabolism hacking device is worth it, and a few other musings, all aimed for us to improve health and body composition. Enjoy.

    #682 - Diet Culture & Motivational Quotes
    Sep 22 2022
    Diet culture is a problem, but it's also misunderstood in many ways. We re-look at this important topic and evolve our thinking on it, looking at fitness culture, how information is communicated online, the definition of it, how it intersects with mental health, how we should conquer our goals, and finish with a look at our favourite quotes, whether they are motivational or not, and how motivational quotes actually work in the brain.
