EP155: Turning Setbacks into Strength: Conrad’s Inspiring Weight Loss Journey

In this episode, I’m joined by Conrad, a personal trainer and online coach from Durham, who shares his incredible story of resilience and reinvention.

From struggling with confidence and self-worth during university, turning to food and alcohol for comfort, to finding the determination to lose over 60 pounds - Conrad’s journey is one of transformation on every level.

But this isn’t just a story of weight loss. We talk about the mental shifts required to break the cycle, the importance of mindful eating, and how he turned his personal journey into a passion for helping others.

You’ll hear about:

The emotional challenges of weight gain and self-image

How comfort eating and late-night habits held him back

The pivotal moment that sparked change

Why variety and enjoyment in fitness is key to consistency

How coaching helped him regain confidence and build a new career

Conrad’s journey is proof that no matter how far off track you feel, it’s never too late to turn things around - and that sometimes the most powerful transformations start with the decision to just begin.
