How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this engaging episode of 'Body by Phil,' host Philip shares his deeply personal battle with obesity and addiction, painting a vivid picture of the internal war he faced.
With raw honesty, he describes the cycle of failed attempts at change, fuelled by inspiring yet fleeting moments from films like 'Rocky.' Phil candidly reflects on how he often found himself back at square one, weighed down by the challenges of addiction and unhealthy habits.

He emphasises that even the most iconic heroes had mentors, and it's okay to need guidance. With a sprinkle of humour and a dose of reality, Phil's message is clear: don't let the war within remain silent.
