FEEDING SUCCESS

What if the reason you’re not getting results isn’t because you don’t know what to eat? Because let’s be honest, most people already know the basics. Eat less sugar. Move more. Make healthier choices. So why is it still so hard to actually follow through? In this episode of Feeding Success, I’m joined by nutritionist Saira Mashru, founder of Saira Nutrition, who’s on a mission to simplify healthy eating and help people build sustainable habits that actually last. We dive into: Why knowledge alone doesn’t create change What most people get wrong about “healthy eating” The real challenges her clients face behind the scenes And the small, powerful shifts anyone can make starting today But we don’t stop there… Because where Saira brings the science of nutrition, I bring the psychology of eating behaviour and together, we explore the gap between knowing and doing. If you’ve ever felt like: “I know what to do… so why am I not doing it?” This episode will hit home. Press play—and start feeding your success from the inside out.

Our eating habits are rarely about food alone. They’re driven by unmet needs, subconscious patterns and learned behaviours. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Imran Ahmed, founder of SUCCESS PSYCHOLOGY, to explore how our basic human needs shape the way we eat, think and behave, more often than not without us even realising it.

If you've ever struggled with losing weight or you work in leadership, coaching, wellbeing, or simply want deeper insight into human behaviour, this conversation will resonate. Let’s get into it.

A mini 5-minute opportunity to talk with Mark Ormrod MBE. You may know of Mark's story. He lost both legs and one arm after triggering a landmine during a routine foot patrol in Afghanistan in 2007? It is a miracle he survived at all, never mind that he has taken on and completed seriously demanding physical challenges few able bodied people could finish. Today he is an athlete, a motivational speaker, and the author of a book aptly titled "NO LIMITS". What a lovely man. Mark hates to be called inspirational (although he is) and prefers to consider himself "fortunate". Here we discuss how nutrition played a huge part in his recovery, his nutritional experience while recuperating and how he fuels his body every day as an athlete.
