Show Notes
In this episode of The Black Country Blokes, Kev and Lee sit down for a proper honest chat about grief, health scares, fitness, discipline, and making changes before it’s too late.
After losing his brother to a heart attack and realising his granddad died at the same age, Kev opens up about the drastic lifestyle changes he’s made — cutting out booze, processed food, sugar and cigarettes, losing weight, and trying to take control of his health before it controls him.
Lee shares positive news about Dravet syndrome research, why raising awareness matters, and how running and training have helped both physically and mentally — even when motivation disappears.
This one is about more than weight loss.
It’s about:
- dealing with loss and perspective
- doing something before your body forces you to
- discipline vs motivation vs accountability
- building habits that actually stick
- getting healthier for your heart, your head, and your family
- why starting small still counts
Whether you’re trying to lose weight, get fitter, clear your mind, or just stop putting yourself last, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to be perfect — you just have to start.
