This week on What the Health?! with Claira Hermet, we have two guests who between them cover every angle of the fitness and weight loss conversation.First up, Sanchez Brown, personal trainer, actor and founder of Get Up Get It Done, a fitness brand built on one simple belief: movement is for everyone. Sanchez gets into the biggest mistakes people make when they start training, why most people quit before they see results and how to stay motivated when the novelty completely wears off. He also opens up about the link between fitness and mental health, whether exercise can become unhealthy, and what he believes is the single biggest barrier stopping people in the UK from getting fit right now. Then Claira is joined in the studio by Rachael Sacerdoti, midlife weight loss coach and founder of It's So Simple - a wellness method that started, of all places, as a WhatsApp group during Covid and has since grown into a movement of its own. Rachael talks candidly about her emotional relationship with food growing up, how pregnancy changed her relationship with her body, and the moment everything shifted. She also gets into the all-or-nothing mentality that quietly sabotages so many people's progress, what a sustainable weight loss journey actually looks like in practice, and why she thinks society is getting the conversation around Ozempic and GLP-1 jabs completely wrong.
