What happens when you bring together 12 clinically obese individuals and a team of experts to tackle weight loss and save lives?

ANNOUNCEMENT

So many people asked me when I was going to write that book about weight loss that I discussed in this episode. Well, here we are in 2025, and I did much more than that: I wrote the book, and I'm currently giving away 100,000 copies on a pay-what-you-want basis. I also have a course coming soon that will support you on your “quit your diet” journey. As far as podcasts go, this episode is way outside of our usual remit, so I created a brand-new podcast. I'd suggest you subscribe, as we take you through a series of real tools to support your journey to quitting diets forever.

The new Quit Your Diet podcast is here: https://www.actionfactorypublishing.com/podcast

In this episode of The Action Factory Podcast, I share the behind-the-scenes story of a groundbreaking NHS pilot program, where I was invited to be the unlikely "Mr. Motivator." From personal epiphanies to clashes of philosophy, the whole project produced some surprising lessons about the power of mindset in creating lasting change.

Most importantly this project influenced my approach to youth work and personal transformation, it confirmed it’s your brain that holds the key to success. Whether you're a youth worker or someone intrigued by the process of change, this episode is quite an eye opener, and even a sneak peek at Michael’s upcoming book.
