1% Happier & Healthier

Are You Scared of Carbs — and Is It Affecting Your Performance?
Fueling Your Body for Better Training
Guest: Darryl Corley - That Nutrition Guy
UK Nutrition Ambassador for HYROX
Are you training hard, showing up consistently — but still feeling flat, under-fuelled, or not recovering the way you expect?
In this episode of the 1% Happier & Healthier podcast, Ann & Sal are joined by Darryl, the UK HYROX Nutrition Ambassador, to unpack one of the most common (and misunderstood) issues in training and wellbeing: fear of carbs.
Darryl shares how discovering nutrition became his passion, starting with curiosity, experimentation, and sharing what he was learning on Instagram — before being approached to become the HYROX Nutrition Ambassador. Today, he travels the UK, speaking at HYROX-affiliated gyms and helping people understand how food can support training, performance, and recovery.
This conversation strips away food fear and brings the focus back to fuel — what your body actually needs to perform well, recover properly, and feel stronger.

🥗 In This Episode, We Explore:
Why so many people are scared of carbohydrates — and where that fear comes from
How under-fuelling can quietly affect energy, performance, and recovery
Why carbs are essential fuel for training
The importance of protein for muscle repair and recovery
How to fuel for performance without overcomplicating nutrition
Simple, effective food choices to support training, including:
oats
quinoa
bulgur wheat
sweet potato
How to build meals that are nourishing, satisfying, and sustainable
🔥 Key Takeaway
Fuel isn’t the enemy —
fear is.
When you fuel your body properly, everything works better.

🎧 Listen If You:
Train regularly but feel low on energy
Struggle with food fear or carb avoidance
Want to improve performance without extremes
Are curious about HYROX or functional training
Believe food should support your life, not control it

Boozer to Boxer - finding purpose in the ring

Guest: Jordan Barker Porter
Pro Boxer | Gym Owner | Channel 4 SAS: Who Dares Wins Contestant
What if one honest realisation could change the entire direction of your life?
In this inspiring episode of the 1% Happier & Healthier podcast, Ann & Sal sit down with Jordan Barker Porter, a professional boxer, gym owner, and former contestant on Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins — to talk about transformation, identity, and finding purpose in unexpected places.
Seven years ago, Jordan realised her relationship with alcohol was no longer serving her life. A friend suggested something simple: go to a local boxing gym. That one decision became the turning point. Jordan fell in love with boxing, discovered discipline and self-belief, and ultimately found a sense of purpose that changed everything.
Today, Jordan uses boxing not just as a sport, but as a tool for growth — mentally, physically, and emotionally — helping others realise what’s possible when they take responsibility for their choices and back themselves.
This is a conversation about courage, honesty, and the power of taking one small step that leads to a completely new life.

🥊 In This Episode, We Explore:
The moment Jordan realised something had to change
How boxing became the anchor that helped her rebuild her life
The role of discipline in overcoming unhealthy habits
What SAS: Who Dares Wins taught her
Identity shifts — from who you were to who you choose to become
Why purpose is often found through discomfort
How small daily actions create lasting transformation
🌱 Key Takeaway
You don’t need a perfect plan —
you need one honest decision, followed by another.

🎧 Listen If You:
Are questioning habits that no longer serve you
Want proof that it’s never too late to change direction
Are curious about how sport can transform mindset and identity
Believe small steps can lead to big life shifts

Who Would You Be If You Stopped Saying ‘I Can’t’? - How One Woman Reclaimed Her Life by Changing Her Inner Story

In this deeply inspiring episode of the 1% Happier and Healthier Podcast, we’re joined by Sara, The Mindset Model who shares her powerful journey of rebuilding confidence after years of self-doubt and a life-changing accident.
Sara opens up about growing up without confidence at school, how a serious accident became a turning point in her life, and the gentle yet courageous steps she took to reclaim her sense of self. Rather than chasing overnight change, Sara shows us how small, intentional shifts in mindset can completely transform how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible.
Through volunteering in her community, spending time in nature, reading mindset-shifting books, and challenging deeply rooted limiting beliefs, Sara began to rewrite her internal narrative — moving from “I’ll never be able to” to the far more empowering “What if I could?”
This episode is a reminder that confidence isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you build, one thought, one choice, and one small step at a time.

🌱 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
How early experiences can shape (but don’t define) our confidence
Why small steps are more powerful than big leaps when rebuilding self-belief
How to recognise and challenge limiting beliefs
The role of volunteering and community in healing and growth
Why getting out into nature can shift perspective and mindset
How reading and learning can help you change your internal dialogue
The power of changing your language from “I can’t” to “What if I could?”
💭 Key Takeaway
Confidence isn’t about being fearless — it’s about being willing to question the stories you’ve been telling yourself and gently choosing a new one.

🎧 Perfect For You If…
You’ve ever struggled with confidence or self-belief
You feel stuck in an “I can’t” mindset
You’re recovering from a setback, accident, or major life change
You’re curious about how mindset shifts can improve your happiness and health
You believe change happens 1% at a time

Can Movement Really Change Your Life at Any Age?
Featuring Bob, Host of the “Pain-Free Living” Podcast
In this episode, Ann and Sally sit down with Bob — the curious mind and big heart behind the Pain-Free Living Podcast.
Bob has always been fascinated by how things work… especially the human body. But it wasn’t until mid-career that he had the chance to completely change direction. A single visit to watch an osteopath at work opened the door to a new passion — and ultimately a new life.
Fast forward to today, and Bob is an osteopath who believes one thing above all else:
👉 Movement is medicine — for every body, at every age.
From working with people living with disabilities to helping clients in their 70s, 80s, and 90s regain strength, confidence, and mobility, Bob has dedicated his career to helping people experience what’s possible when they start moving again.

🌟 In This Episode, We Explore:
How a mid-career moment of curiosity changed Bob’s entire life path
Why understanding the body’s mechanics leads to better health
The powerful link between movement, longevity, and living pain-free
Real stories of clients (including over-70s!) who transformed their mobility
Why disability should never mean the end of movement
How to start moving more — even if you feel stuck, scared, or unsure where to begin
The shared belief between Bob, Ann, and Sally that small steps create big change
💬 Key Takeaways:
It’s never too late to change your career — or your health.
Consistent gentle movement is often more powerful than intense workouts.
The body is designed to adapt — at 20, 40, 70, or 90 years old.
Curiosity can lead you to the next chapter of your life.
Movement is not just physical; it improves confidence, independence, and emotional wellbeing.
🎙 About Bob
Bob is the host of the Pain-Free Living Podcast and a practicing osteopath who works extensively with:
People aged 70+
People with disabilities
Anyone wanting to improve their movement, reduce pain, and live more freely
