My guest Gary Knight believes that you must walk the walk not just talk the talk, so when his football career ended due to injury he embarked on a journey to become not just a great footy coach, but someone who now coaches others to live the fullest, happiest and healthiest life they can. Gary explains how his research and his own health scares in middle age have given him a genuine passion to help others find a way to overcome their less healthy habits and become the best version of themselves, no matter what their age or background.
