The Mind Your Body Show: Recent Episodes

Jacob Andreae

Hi, I’m Jacob Andreae; and for over a decade, I’ve trained everyone from children to elite athletes to move better, feel better and perform better. While a thorough understanding of fitness and nutrition is vital, underpinning that is mindset. And I’ve come to discover just how important it is. I’ve worked with literally thousands of people, and more often than not, it’s the ones who win the mind game, who succeed in the big game. So, how do they do it? This… is the Mind Your Body Show.

Fleur Elizabeth is a coach specialising in mastering your relationship with food and alcohol since 2017, which she believes is inseparable from the success or failure of your human existence. Her approach is to

(1) address a problem or challenging behaviour.

(2) Help you identify the costs of that behaviour to your life.

(3) Provide psycho-education regarding the issue.

(4) Offer a strategy to manage the problem, evoke positive change, and motivate you to maintain it.

Her desire now is to help others that have suffered in silence, like she did, with an ambition to normalise the discussion of abuse and help other women feel connected and have a happier, more confident, and somewhat wiser human experience.

Fleur Elizabeth's vast qualifications span from a Master's in Food and Wine Branding and Management, Nutritional Health Coaching Diploma to several distinguished qualifications in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), specialising depression and anxiety, Motivational Interviewing (specialising in alcoholism and addiction) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) specialising in mindfulness, acceptance and change skills.

Transforming her career from a Telecommunications sales and marketing leader in 2012, Fleur Elizabeth made her dream a reality. She opened her award-winning restaurant in Singapore, creating food adored by her customers. After a painful and devastating closure, her self-professed "Life-MBA", another door opened into the complex world of food chemicals, creating concepts for leading global food brands. Witnessing the behind-the-scenes of what goes into our food today and linking the correlation with our global health crisis inspired her to retrain and move into nutritional health coaching—determined to educate and motivate people to make healthier choices with their food.

Having experienced ongoing mental abuse, being built up and torn down within her narcissistic family of origin, and suffering several accounts of horrifying sexual abuse in her childhood by people she knew and relied on. After being raped when she was 15, Fleur Elizabeth stopped eating, developing bulimia, a crude and complicated food disorder. Never allowed to discuss or disclose, the social standing family preferred to keep up appearances rather than admit to the toxic shame it coveted. As she got older, she used alcohol to numb her trauma and hid behind a "false self" to escape her pain, creating a path of destruction and self-loathing behaviour. A profoundly complex past and a stimulus to action for the forthcoming years of study and 300+ hours of psychology research. And together with her own coach/therapist pushing through a pretty spectacular personal transformation, Fleur Elizabeth will proudly tell you that she is in love with the woman she is today and knows this is her life's work!

Fleur Elizabeth is a Keynote Speaker and published Author of "HIP - 7 Ways to transform recovery", "HIP - Recovery Mindfulness Journal", "The Hubby Diary", and "The Compassion Project" (to be published Q4 2023)

Lucas Hardie grew up playing multi-sports — baseball, hockey and rugby. He wasn’t much for training in the gym until he suffered a knee injury in his senior year of high school playing rugby. He spent all his time in the gym after that and particularly found an interest in strength sports.

Lucas became a certified personal trainer in 2005 and began helping people transform their bodies and minds through strength training. It was at this time that he also started competing regularly in Powerlifting.

In 2014, Lucas suffered a bicep injury which led him to a dark place. Prior to the injury he was working towards getting on an international stage in powerlifting and had devoted all his time to this goal.

Lucas came out of the recovery realising that he had developed an extremely poor body composition and that his movement capacities were limited from training. He knew he had to make real change in his flexibility.

Lucas dropped all traditional methods of training and started exploring the depths of what he didn’t know. He sought out disciplines that required higher degrees of flexibility such as Gymnastics and Circus Training and began applying these concepts.

After three years of hard devoted training, Lucas developed a full Front Split, Side Split, Pancake Split, Head 2 Toe, and a decent Back Bridge.

You can hear more about this journey in this Range of Strength podcast episode.

Kaja started her yoga practice in 2018 and became a certified yoga teacher in January 2019. She has later taken courses in meditation, mindfulness-based stress reduction and pilates. Kaja is also an artist and vegan for eight years.

“To me, yoga is more of a moving meditation, than a workout. It’s about connecting with my inner self, finding stillness and making space in the body for deeper breaths and free movements. I teach a mix of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, while focusing on creating a feeling of bliss and calmness in the soul of the practitioner. Music and rhythm is an important element in my classes, and is actively used as a tool to stay present and create a feeling of oneness within the group. My goal is always to leave the students feeling more at peace and with the corners of their mouths lifted.”

“Yoga has helped me find peace in everyday life. I breathe deeper and I am more grateful for the little things than before I started practicing. I have also gotten much better at living in the present moment, instead of constantly thinking about what is coming next or what has been. Most people live very stressful lives these days, and rarely take time for self-reflection and silence. Meeting up on the mat and setting aside time for stillness is one of the most beautiful and important things I do for myself”.

Adam, aka The PHD (previously heavy dude), hit a rock bottom moment in his life where he weighed 327lbs (148kg). He then went on his own 100lb (45kg) weight loss journey, and as he was on this journey, he started to inspire people in his home town to join him. He started a gym and a bootcamp program and helped his home town lose over 35,000lbs in five years.

Adam’s the host of the top ranked health podcast, ‘The Million Pound Mission’, where his goal is to inspire one million pounds of healthy results (which he tracks on his website at www.MillionPoundMission.com. Following the success of his podcast, Adam’s now turned his part-time podcasting hobby into a successful full-time business through his new podcast, ‘Podcasting Business School’.
