In this episode, we speak to Matt Fitzgerald, author of the new book The Comeback Quotient, which looks at the science and the stories behind some of sport’s greatest comebacks.    Everyone loves an inspirational sporting fairytale story, and Matt’s fascinating book uncovers how some athletes are able to put some serious adversity behind them to overcome obstacles and hit their goals.     In the book, Matt identifies these mega-achievers of astounding comebacks as ‘ultrarealists’. These men and women succeed where others fail by fully accepting, embracing, and addressing the reality of their situations. We chat to Matt about the unique mental qualities of these athletes, and how there’s so much we can all learn from the way they deal with setbacks to help us cope with our everyday life issues.   Host by Gershon Portnoi Recorded by Gershon Portnoi Edited by Andy Greening Directed by Andy Greening and Gershon Portnoi Special thanks to Matt Fitzgerald Podcast artwork by Andy Greening Music Healthy For Men theme song by Premium Beats Intro music –  'Currents' by 'Mhern' via Epidemic Sound    Remember you can pick up the latest edition of Healthy For Men Magazine in your local Holland & Barrett, online at hollandandbarrett.com, and via the Holland & Barrett app. Healthy For Men Podumentary is by Healthy For Men magazine which is published by River Sounds which is part of River Group Content Limited 2021   Please note: All views are those of our guests and not of Healthy For Men or Holland & Barrett, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

In this special bonus episode, we’ve dug through our archives and recalled this chat we had with, Tim Grimwade back in March this year.  You may remember Tim back from episode one of our podumentry series What is Anxiety? If you’re a new listener and are working your way through our back catalogue... Tim is a cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist. Now, I’m sure the first thing that comes to mind when you think hypnotist is stage hypnotism and an audience member fallen to the spell of a swinging pocket watch. I can assure you, however, what Tim does in his practice is not the case. Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy is very much as it sounds, a variation of Cognitive behavioural therapy or you may know as CBT, a technique used by counsellors and psychologists. If you’re not too sure what cognitive behavioural therapy is, it is a way of approaching a patient's way of thinking, to help lead to changes in their emotions and behaviour. It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems such as phobias or addiction. Which is all very similar to how Tim uses his hypnotherapy techniques. In this special episode, Tim gives us a taster of some of the common obstacles he’s had to face when treating patients who suffer from anxiety and compiled 5 simple points which everyone can use to ground themselves during anxious moments. These include: Have you been doing negative self-hypnosis for years? What are your current coping strategies and could they be better? Engage with what drives you. Find your sense of purpose. Aim to be constantly aware of your changing feelings, thoughts and physical sensations. Begin on the path to positive hypnosis.   This episode is in partnership with Bounce Foods Host Tom RowleyAudio engineered and edited by Andy GreeningDirected by Andy Greening and Tom RowleySpecial thanks to Tim GrimwadePodcast artwork by Matt Ford and Andy GreeningHealthy For Men theme song by Premium BeatsOther music by Artlist Healthy For Men Podumentary is by Healthy For Men magazine which is published by River Group Content Limited 2018
