Episode description

Michelin-starred chef Tom Aikens joins Ben Shephard and Andrew Tracey to talk discipline, endurance and why most blokes are overcomplicating their nutrition.

.

We break down how years of 14-hour kitchen shifts and knee surgery pushed him towards daily mobility work, ultramarathons and a ruthlessly consistent routine. Tom opens up about desert racing in brutal heat, fuelling without gels, and the mindset required to stay lean and strong in a high-stress profession.

.

Along the way, we get into why traditional meal prep might be missing the point, how to make simple protein-and-carb meals actually taste good, and why performance in the kitchen – and in life – starts with looking after your body first.
