How I Dropped 30lbs at 38... My Exact 3 Step System.

At 38, I was 30lbs overweight, constantly exhausted, and completely lost my zest for life. Between kids, work, stress, and trying to keep everything together, my health quietly slipped to the bottom of the list — and it caught up with me fast.

If you’re working hard, providing for your family, carrying pressure nobody else sees, and wondering why your energy has crashed, your drive has vanished, and your body is heavier — this episode will give you the tools to turn it around.

You’ll hear:

◼️How burnout actually shows up in parents and busy people

◼️Why your energy, mood, and body can shift even when you think you’re “doing everything right”

◼️The hidden loops that keep you stuck in stress and bad habits

◼️The turning point that helped me take control again

◼️The 3-step system that made losing 30lbs realistic — not overwhelming

About the Podcast

The High Performance Gym
Performance without burnout
I’m Keir Wotherspoon.

I’ve been self-employed as a fitness coach and health educator for 16 years.
I ran a gym business for over five of those.
I’m also a dad of three.

Like many people, I’ve spent years trying to balance work, health, ambition, and family life, and I’ve learned how easy it is for energy to quickly disappear in the process.

This podcast is about understanding where that energy goes, and how to rebuild it without burning yourself out.

The High Performance Gym explores how your body, brain, and nervous system respond to stress, training, recovery, sleep, and pressure — and how small, repeatable changes can restore clarity, focus, and physical energy.

Some episodes are practical. Some are reflective. All are grounded in physiology, neuroscience, and real life.

If you want to perform well at work, show up at home, and still feel like yourself, this podcast is for you.

This is The High Performance Gym.
