Body Reset w/ Olly Wood

You have put in the training. But if nutrition is not getting the same attention, you are risking everything on race day.

After working with thousands of clients through half marathons, Ironmans and adventure events, the pattern is always the same. The training gets dialled in. The nutrition gets figured out the week before. And then something goes wrong on the day.

If you are in your 40s, 50s or 60s and have got an event coming up, this one is for you. In this video:

Why your nutrition foundations matter more than...

There is no one right way when it comes to health. And in this episode, Olly and Mandy put that to the test by going head to head on some of the most debated topics in nutrition, exercise and supplementation. From sugar free drinks to bedtime routines to when you should train, this is an honest, unscripted conversation between two experts who do not always agree. The whole point is not to tell you what to do. It is to help you form your own informed opinion and find the approach that actually works for your life, your schedule...

Your bloodwork can come back perfect and you can still feel like something's missing. After coaching some clients for 4+ years, I've seen the biggest health shifts come from a metric no lab will ever test.

We started where you'd expect: bloodwork, nutrition, training and sleep. Those fundamentals work. But the changes that lasted came later, when clients blocked their mornings, took a weekend away without checking email, picked up a guitar they hadn't touched in decades, and finally let their nervous system switch off.

If you've spent years pushing, providing and carrying everyone else, this...

We track sleep, steps, calories, blood markers and countless other health metrics but what happens when we lose touch with how we actually feel? In this episode, we explore the power of presence and why learning to slow down, notice your body, and be fully engaged in the moment can be an important part of your health. From enjoying sunlight and food to simply being present with the people you love, this is about building the often-overlooked skill of being where your feet are.

Most women have questions about HRT and not nearly enough good answers. In this video, Mandy dives deep into the five most common misunderstandings she sees come up repeatedly across Body Reset menopause workshops and with the women she works with every week. This is a field that is changing rapidly. What was considered correct five years ago is often quite different now, and what was once commonly prescribed looks very different to what is recommended today. Mandy is not a prescribing practitioner and has no bias around whether you do or do not pursue HRT. But she does...

How you fuel, how you train and how you sleep is an investment. And just like financial investing, the mindset you bring to it determines everything. In this video, Olly dives into one of the key concepts from a recent Body Reset health retreat in Queensland, using the day trading versus long term investing analogy to break down why the I need results in 90 days approach keeps so many motivated people stuck in a cycle of starting over. If you have done diet after diet, template after template, and still feel like you are no closer to where you...

You are already doing the work. You are showing up, staying consistent and genuinely trying. And yet you never quite feel lean enough, strong enough or like you have fully arrived. That feeling is not just uncomfortable. It is quietly sabotaging your enjoyment, your motivation and your long term consistency. In this video, Olly walks through one of the most important frameworks embedded inside Body Reset, one that goes well beyond nutrition and training. Because the goal has never just been a before and after. It is the before, after, after. What does your health look like 12 or 24 months...

The hormonal conversation is coming up constantly in Body Reset bloodwork consults every single week, with both men and women, and at every in person workshop across New Zealand and Australia. In this episode, Olly and Mandy cut through the confusion around HRT, when it makes sense to consider it, when to hold off, and what prerequisites they believe need to be in place first. This is not a prescription and they are not the ones prescribing it. But after seeing these patterns consistently across hundreds of clients, there are themes they are confident enough to share. Whether you...

You are fasting, doing cold baths, saunas, elaborate workouts and tracking every calorie burned. And yet you still do not look the way you train. If you are in your 40s, 50s or 60s and putting in more effort than ever with less and less to show for it, the conversation is almost never about doing more. It is about recovery. In this video, Olly walks through the vital steps that even the smartest, most disciplined and most motivated people consistently miss, and why addressing these will do more for your results than any new bio hack or training...

You have checked your sleep. You have tested your iron. You have looked at your stress levels and workload. And yet the low energy, the brain fog and that feeling of running on 50% battery all the time is still there. In this video, Olly walks through the less discussed and often overlooked reasons why so many busy people over 40 struggle with chronic low energy despite doing all the right things. If you have addressed the obvious and are still not feeling like yourself, this is exactly where to look next.

If you are eating well, going organic, cutting gluten and still not shifting weight, the problem is probably not what you are eating. It is when and how you are eating it. In this video, Olly walks through the Fuel Switch, a nutrition framework he has used personally for over a decade and with thousands of clients to make fat loss significantly easier without more restriction or more effort. It is not about calories alone. It is about meal structure and nutrition timing, the piece that keeps coming up in every bloodwork consult as the missing link for people...

If the scale is the only way you are measuring progress, you are missing four other markers that have a bigger impact on your results than you think. In this episode, Olly walks through the five types of progress Body Reset tracks with every single client from day one, none of which are weight related. By the end you will have a clear picture of the areas you are already doing well and the ones worth focusing on more. And here is the part most people overlook: when these five areas are dialed in, fat loss and muscle gain...

After working with thousands of busy, motivated clients, Olly keeps seeing the same four patterns come up again and again with people over 45. The things that used to work brilliantly, the habits and approaches that got them to where they are now, are suddenly the very things getting in the way. In this episode, Olly breaks down all four types, helps you identify which one you are, and gives you a clear action plan to get out of it. If your hormones have shifted, your recovery is not what it used to be, and the old playbook just is...

GLP medications and AI have completely shifted the health industry in the last few years and Olly and Mandy think that is actually a really good thing. In this episode they break down why these two massive changes have moved the conversation away from just eat less and just use more willpower and what that means for anyone trying to feel fully in control of their health without relying on a medication or an algorithm to get there. Because here is the interesting part. More information was never the problem. Most people already know more about nutrition than ever...

When it comes to dropping body fat there are three options. You can do it fast, you can do it easy, or you can do it healthy. The catch is you can only ever choose two at the same time. In this episode, Olly walks through the strategy behind all three combinations, what each one actually looks like in practice, the trade offs that come with each, and which one he personally recommends after working with thousands of clients. Depending on your goal and your timeframe, one of these is going to be significantly more relevant to you than...

You are listening to all the right podcasts, following all the rules, and still feel confused about what to actually do next. In this episode, Olly and Mandy are back together busting some of the most common myths and dumb rules they keep seeing come up after reviewing hundreds of blood work consults and connecting the dots between what people are doing day to day and what is actually holding them back. There is not one right way when it comes to health. But there are patterns, and once you see them clearly, a lot of the confusion disappears...

If you have been stretching your lower back or hamstrings for years and they are still tight, more stretching is not the answer. In this video, Olly breaks down why chronic muscle tightness is rarely a flexibility problem and walks through exactly what to focus on instead. If you are tired of doing all the right things and still waking up stiff, sore and restricted, this one will change how you think about tightness completely.

Willpower always runs out. And if your health strategy relies on it, you will always eventually fall off track. In this video, Olly shares what moving house reminded him about the power of environment and how small, intentional changes to your surroundings do more for your health habits than any amount of discipline ever could. He walks through three practical strategies: creating this then that scenarios to make healthy habits effortless, adding friction to temptations so impulse decisions become inconvenient, and setting structural anchors that protect your sleep, nutrition and daily movement without a second thought. You do not...

After reviewing the bloodwork of over 852 clients in the last 12 months alone, three recommendations come up more consistently than anything else. In this video, Olly walks through exactly what those three are, with precise measurements and personalised guidance so you can apply them to yourself right away. If your body has stopped responding the way it used to, your energy is lower, digestion is off, or something just feels different since your 40s or 50s, there is a very good chance at least one of these is a contributing factor. This is what a decade of working with busy...

If your body has stopped responding the way it used to and a generic plan is no longer cutting it, that is actually a sign of progress. It means you have outgrown level one. In this video, Olly walks through the three layers of health awareness he has used with thousands of busy professionals to get their body and energy back on their side. Moving beyond just showing up and being consistent, level two and three are where health stops feeling like something you have to restrict and sacrifice and starts becoming something you genuinely enjoy and build your...

You can absolutely succeed in your health, your career and your business by beating yourself up along the way. Many people do. But you can get to the exact same place while actually enjoying the journey and having a much better internal dialogue along the way. In this video, Olly shares three important shifts in how to think about self criticism, pulled straight from a recent Body Reset health retreat. The goal is not to lower your standards. It is to show you how to hold a high bar for yourself while being significantly kinder along the way. Because...

Most people think they just need to be more consistent. But after years of working with clients, the pattern is clear, the ones who make the biggest breakthroughs aren't the ones who push harder, they're the ones who build a deeper awareness of what their body actually needs. In this episode, Olly breaks down the three levels across weight training, aerobic fitness and nutrition. From basic consistency all the way through to the nuanced details that separate people who plateau from people who keep progressing. Whether you're in month one or year three of your health journey, there's something...

You've done the diets. You've done the 6am classes. You've taken the supplements, followed the meal plan to the letter, and you probably know more about health than your parents did in their entire lifetime. And yet you still feel frustrated, stuck, and like there's something you're still missing. In this video, Olly walks through the key steps he has used with thousands of clients to go from constantly falling on and off a plan to building something that genuinely lasts. No more starting again on Monday. Just a clear framework that gives you the confidence to fuel and...

What problem are you actually trying to solve? After more than a decade of coaching, Olly has become obsessed with one question: what really makes people motivated, focused and able to create lasting change? And the answer almost never involves doing more. In this video, he breaks down why most people are trying to optimise the wrong things, what the real problem is for the vast majority of people who've noticed a shift in their body, hormones and energy after 40, and why the path back to confidence, strength and feeling incredible in your own skin looks different for everyone...

If you're a busy professional fasting every day and still feeling drained, it's not because fasting is bad. It's because of how you're using it. After working with thousands of clients to get their body and energy back on track, the question Olly gets more than almost any other is: what do you actually think about fasting? His answer is always the same. Everybody fasts, it's just a matter of how long is useful and when it starts to work against you. In this video, Olly breaks down exactly when he recommends fasting, when he doesn't, and a simple...

When should you follow the guidelines and when should you trust your own intuition? Fresh from another packed workshop in Dunedin — part of a nationwide series — Olly shares one of the biggest themes that keeps coming up with people who've been following Body Reset for two, three, even six years. The goal has never been to give you a rigid set of rules where every alternative is wrong. It's to help you think for yourself and build a plan you'll actually stick to long term. But there's a catch — experimenting before you know what good looks like isn't intuition, it's j...

You're exercising regularly but the results are going backwards. Sound familiar? It was the most common theme that came up at the recent Body Reset workshop in Auckland — people already putting in the work, but gaining body fat, losing training momentum, or just unable to shift weight no matter how closely they watched what they ate. In this video, Olly breaks down exactly what was uncovered in that room: almost everyone was chasing heart rate and nobody was focused on muscle contraction. If you want to understand why that distinction matters and what to do instead, this is the vi...

Moving house, changing jobs, kids heading to high school or uni, a new season — every major life shift is actually an opportunity to reshuffle where you allocate your time and review the habits that are helping and hurting you. In this episode, Olly and Mandy share their own recent experiences of moving in opposite directions — one from rural to town, one from town to rural — and what that revealed about their own routines, cravings, exercise habits and energy. More importantly, they break down how to use any change in environment or season as a chance to raise your standards rather...

Millions of people are wearing a device on their wrist to track their health — but if you don't understand HRV, one of the most important metrics it measures, you're likely making the wrong calls on when to push and when to recover. In this video, Olly breaks down exactly what Heart Rate Variability means, why it matters for fitness, fat loss and long term performance, and the exact framework to use so you can look at that number, know what it's telling you and know what to do about it. If you want to train smarter and stop guessing, th...

If you're driving home from work thinking about 20 things that needed to be done yesterday, waking up at 3am with your brain still running, and never quite as present as you'd like to be — that's a nervous system stuck in high arousal. And it's quietly driving your blood sugar, cholesterol, digestion and immune function in the wrong direction. In this video, Olly and Mandy share the stress management strategies that are actually working right now across hundreds of active clients — practical, tangible steps that go well beyond "just stress less." Because if you're in a high demand role, being told...

Never in the history of being told to calm down has anyone actually calmed down. After nearly a decade as a clinical nutritionist and coach, Mandy knows two things to be true — stress has a far bigger impact on your physical health than most people want to admit, and simply telling someone to stress less doesn't work. In this video, she breaks down the two approaches that actually make a real difference in managing the unavoidable nature of stress and reducing its impact on your body, your health markers and your results. If stress keeps coming up as the th...

One of the most common things Olly hears from smart, capable people is that they should be able to figure this out on their own. In this episode, Olly and Mandy get personal — sharing their own examples of challenges they chewed on for way too long before finally getting some outside perspective. In hindsight, would they do it differently? Absolutely. If you keep coming back to the same problem thinking more knowledge is the answer, this one is worth your time. Sometimes the thing keeping you stuck isn't a lack of information — it's the belief that you should already have...

If you're on Ozempic, Wegovy or any other GLP-1 medication, this video is essential viewing. This isn't a debate about whether these medications are good or bad, if you've made the decision to take them, Olly walks through the crucial non-negotiables that Body Reset recommends for their own members on these medications. Too many people are seeing the scale move for the first time and have no idea what's happening to the quality of that weight loss underneath. Without these changes in place, you may be setting yourself up for serious long term consequences. What you do alongside the...

Aging doesn't create your problems — it exposes them. In this video, Olly walks through four of the most common patterns he sees with people who used to have it together: staying in shape, sleeping well, feeling like their body was doing what it was supposed to. Then their 40s, 50s or 60s hit, and at some point something shifted. The body stopped responding the way it used to and nobody told them why. If at least one of these four patterns isn't relevant to you right now, Olly would be very surprised. More importantly, he walks through exactly what to...

You're eating well, exercising, cutting back on fats and salt — doing everything you've been told to do. And yet your blood pressure and cholesterol keep creeping up. In this video, Mandy breaks down why these two markers, while they look like separate problems, are actually two symptoms of the same underlying issue — and it's tied far more closely to blood sugar than the fats you're eating or the salt you're avoiding. If you've been left confused by your results or feel like you're just being handed more medication with no real answers, this one will give you a much clea...

This one's a little different. In this solo episode, Olly shares an honest update on what's been happening in his life and business over the last four to five weeks — the stress, the overwhelm, the juggle of fitting it all in. But more than just a life update, there's a really useful reminder in here for anyone running at full capacity: if you're always trying to give 100% but you've only got 30% to give, you're only giving 30%. Olly talks through protecting your inputs, being intentional about what you say yes to, and why every yes is also a no to so...

Most people assume heart attacks come down to genetics and years of poor eating — and while that plays a role, there's a specific four hour window every morning that increases your risk by 40%. This isn't a random outlier. It's one of the most well documented patterns in cardiology, and almost nobody talks about it in the context of daily habits. In this video, Olly walks through a few simple morning routine changes that do more than just boost energy, mental clarity and digestion — they actively lower your risk in a very real and meaningful way.

Here's a realisation that keeps coming up since Body Reset moved into in-person events — the people who've been listening for years aren't stuck because they're missing some big secret. They're stuck because they're obsessing over steps 11, 12 and 13 before they've nailed steps one, two and three. In this episode, Olly breaks down the real risk of consuming too much health content, why podcasts can accidentally pull you toward the shiny and new instead of the simple and effective, and how to use information as a reinforcer rather than a distraction. If you've been listening, learning and still not moving forward — this...

If you're over 40 and eating less protein than you did in your 30s, you're not playing it safe — you're accelerating health decline. In this video, Olly breaks down what anabolic resistance actually is, why your body needs more protein as you age not less, the common patterns he sees with clients who are unknowingly under-fuelling, and the simple tweaks to get your protein up without overhauling your entire diet. He also walks through exactly what he eats in a day to make it straightforward and sustainable. If you want to hold onto your muscle, your energy and your strength in...

Olly tackles the top exercise questions from inside the Body Reset gut, menopause and workout reset programs. Whether you're currently exercising and not seeing results, trying to get started, or what you've been doing just isn't working anymore — this Q&A covers the five questions that keep coming up most. Chances are at least one of them is exactly what you've been wondering. Drop any additional questions in the comments and Olly will do his best to get back to you.
