My work has been featured across multiple media platforms, including television, print, and digital outlets.

Dr. Gagandeep Singh is a leading metabolic health physician from India, specialising in the reversal of Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, Obesity and PCOS. With over a decade of clinical experience and more than 1,000 patient transformations, he has helped thousands break free from lifelong medication dependence. He founded Redial Clinic in 2013, one of India’s first root-cause disease reversal centres. His philosophy is simple yet radical: instead of suppressing symptoms with medications, he focuses on restoring metabolic function through nutrition, movement, and behavioural science. His often-quoted line captures the essence of the clinic’s ethos: “We don’t manage illness. We reverse it — with science, soul, and zero fluff.” Dr. Singh’s approach is deeply shaped by his own personal journey—having reversed his own obesity through disciplined lifestyle changes. This experience fuels his mission to offer patients a kinder, more effective alternative to conventional chronic disease management. At Redial, he uses a structured, data-driven program combining dietary protocols, continuous supervision, exercise planning, and lifestyle redesign. His expertise includes Type 2 Diabetes Reversal, Hypertension Reduction, Insulin Resistance, PCOS & Hormonal Balance, and long-term healthspan optimisation. He is also a popular health educator across Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn, where he simplifies metabolic science into practical, actionable insights for the public and fellow clinicians. Dr. Singh continues to champion a movement that places lifestyle, not medication, at the centre of chronic disease care—helping Indians reclaim their health, autonomy, and long-term metabolic freedom.

I am a personal trainer, health coach, nutritionist and a weight loss coach. I haven’t always been though… I used to be really overweight, was unfit, suffered with burnout and comfort ate… a lot! Then one day I decided enough was enough. I returned to cycling, learnt about nutrition, started weightlifting, worked with great coaches and trainers, refined my time management skills, and took part in challenges that terrified me. I then went back to college to learn more and get qualified as a personal trainer and coach. I’ve been training for over nine years. I lost over four stone and I have kept the weight off for many years, and my mental health has never been better. I’ve completed many long-distance endurance cycling events including an off-road coast-to-coast and a 200-mile one-day road sportive. Having run and grown my own businesses for over 20 years, I understand how tough it is juggling a busy life with the need to keep fit and healthy. I now help others achieve their own goals and specialise in “Weight Loss Coaching“, “Personal Training & Health Coaching“, “Menopause Support Coaching” and “Fitness & Nutrition Coaching for Sports Events“. I am based in Farnborough, Hampshire with my own private studio. I offer fitness training and coaching online with some in-person options as well.

Mick is the founder of Primal Recovery Melbourne, a centre that redefines what recovery should look like in an era when mainstream wellness has lost its edge. Instead of candles, fluff, or surface-level “relaxation,” Mick built Primal Recovery as a space where recovery is treated like training: intense, effective, and absolutely essential. The centre combines ice baths, saunas (steam and infrared), red light therapy, vibration training, compression boots, and contrast therapy into structured systems designed to do one thing — deliver results. What sets Mick apart is his philosophy. He isn’t another coach pushing buzzwords or a clinic hiding behind white coats. He’s a straight-talking operator who believes recovery must tackle the root causes of fatigue, and pain — not just paper over the symptoms. Mick’s perspective comes from experience across multiple domains. With a background in bodybuilding, construction, psychology, natural health modalities, and music, he knows firsthand how the body and mind respond to stress, overload, and adversity. He has seen the toll that inflammation, poor circulation, shallow breathing, and nervous system fatigue can take on performance — not only for fighters, but also for everyday people trying to survive high-pressure lives. At Primal Recovery, he channels this knowledge into recovery protocols that mimic what the human body evolved for: cycles of heat and cold, stress and rest, exertion and recalibration. An athlete stepping into the Ctrl + Alt + Del protocol — vibration plate → sauna → ice bath → sauna → ice bath → red light therapy → compression boots — experiences a complete reset of circulation, inflammation, and mental state. It’s not theory, it’s not placebo — it’s physiology applied with precision. Beyond the tools, Mick has become a voice on the importance of nervous system regulation in trauma recovery, stress resilience, and performance. He is outspoken about how mainstream health systems often chase quick symptom relief while ignoring the underlying dysfunctions. For him, modalities like ice baths, breathwork, red light therapy, and contrast cycles are not gimmicks — they’re gateways to genuine adaptation and healing. Mick continues to push a movement that’s bigger than a single centre. It’s about proving that recovery, done properly, is not soft, indulgent, or optional — it’s the hard, primal reset that keeps people sharp, unbreakable, and ready for whatever fight life throws at them.

I am Founder of Active & ageless where we specialise in health & fitness solutions for over 50s. I love what I do and run my business like my life. If it's not scaring me a little i'm not pushing hard enough. Now sometimes I want to be lazy and idle also, and I enjoy it when I do, but I am disciplined enough that it never lasts. I strive to train hard, to work hard and at times simply enjoy life and even rest hard (and this could be surfing 10 foot waves in Fiji or doing a 50km hike). With a background as an emergency nurse, Army medic, and oil and gas industry medic, I’ve spent my career in high-pressure roles. With Active & Ageless, I’m redefining fitness for over-50s—growing to multiple locations and partnering with aged care facilities in just five years. After multiple back surgeries and advice to ‘play it safe,’ I chose the opposite: running ultra-marathons, surfing big waves, boxing younger opponents, and building a business that inspires strength, resilience, and a life without limits.
