    She quit drinking for 100 days… lost 70 pounds.

    Anna was an overweight alcoholic and single mother of four, fighting her demons daily, numbing the pain just to survive.

    Then one random invitation changed everything.

  • EPISODE 9: Burnout Nearly Killed Him — How Todd Rebuilt His Body & Life

    Todd’s Transformation: From Burnout and Breakdown to Losing 45 Pounds and Rebuilding His Life.

    Todd lost 45 pounds (20 kilos) — but the journey wasn’t simple. It took burnout, a mental breakdown, and a complete collapse of the life he thought he wanted.

    For years, business was easy. Predictable growth, a clear path, and the dream of a multi–seven-figure exit. But chasing the big play with venture capital turned into chaos: 15-hour days, 40 hours without sleep, fast food binges, crippling stress, and a body that finally gave out — ending with a perforated bowel and a hospital bed.

    That breaking point forced Todd to reset. He folded his company, took six months off, and rebuilt his health and identity from the ground up.

    In this episode, you’ll hear how Todd:

    Walked, fasted, and ran his way back to strength

    Faced extreme endurance challenges

    Used journaling, meditation, and sensory deprivation tanks to quiet his mind

    Reconnected with family through hiking and nature

    Transformed water into medicine, discipline into freedom, and pain into power

    Today, Todd is lighter, stronger, and healthier — physically, mentally, and emotionally. His story is a powerful reminder that sometimes breakdown leads to breakthrough.

    👉 Watch this full conversation on Youtube to learn the scars, stories, and strategies that rebuilt Todd’s life:

    If you’ve ever felt trapped by stress, burnout, or the weight of chasing success at all costs — this episode is for you.

    After a simple bet with his brother lit up his competitive spirit. That challenge didn’t just transform his body, it reshaped his entire approach to health, work, and life.

    A filmmaker with a zest for adventure — from skydiving to windsurfing, foiling to filmmaking — Andrew brings passion to everything he does. But after relocating to the United States for a marketing role, the supersized meals and fast-paced lifestyle caught up with him, and the weight piled back on.

    In this episode of 100 Pounds to Freedom, we explore:

    How a brotherly bet sparked his 45-pound weight loss

    What he tried — and what really worked

    The power of intermittent fasting

    Why cutting back on alcohol changed his progress

    How he uses sleep as a superpower

    The lessons from reinventing himself again and again

    Andrew’s story is a reminder that transformation isn’t a one-time event — it’s a journey of resilience, adaptation, and rediscovery.

    Mitch Calvert grew up hiding in hoodies, skipping photos, and battling weight his entire childhood. He tried it all — fat burners, low-carb diets, hours of cardio — only to keep regaining the same 20 pounds over and over.

    Then in his 20s, a near-death experience with a bowel obstruction (after yet another extreme diet) forced him to finally face the truth:
    Fads weren’t the answer. Sustainability was.

    That rock-bottom moment became the start of a new life — and a new mission.

    Mitch lost 60 pounds, kept it off for over 20 years, and now helps busy parents do the same — without giving up fries, fun, or real life.

    He’s the creator of the Big 5 Framework — a simple, no-fad system to help you lose fat and feel 20 years younger… even if you’ve “tried everything.”

    Inside this episode:

    • Why most diets are designed to fail — and what actually works long-term
    • The health scare that changed everything
    • How he went from insecure and overweight to confident and consistent
    • Why simplicity beats sexy when it comes to sustainable fat loss
    • A behind-the-scenes look at the Big 5 Framework Mitch uses with his 1,500+ clients


    If you’re over 40, sick of starting over, and ready to feel strong, confident, and in control again — this one’s for you.

  • EPISODE 3: He Hated Himself. Then He Let Go — Of 30kg, the Pain, and the Past

    Richie was angry — at the world, at everyone, but mostly at himself.

    After a near-death experience left him unable to work, he spiraled:
    A father of three, buried under anxiety, depression, bipolar swings, insomnia… and a cocktail of prescriptions that numbed more than they healed.

    He was binge eating, overgiving, white-knuckling his way through each day — like so many high-performers do behind closed doors.

    Until one moment changed everything.

    Standing on the scales, 30kg overweight and filled with self-loathing, Richie realized what he needed to lose wasn't just fat — it was the years of pain, patterns, and pressure he’d been carrying.

    In this episode, Richie shares the real story behind his 30kg transformation —
    How he rewired his nervous system, reclaimed his identity, and now helps coaches Command & Create from deep alignment (not burnout).

    If you’re running on fumes, addicted to “pushing through,” or quietly wondering if something has to break before you do — this is for you.
