Episode 71 – Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS

In this episode, I strip back the noise and talk honestly about mental health, resilience, and the realities of living with Bipolar Disorder — because wellbeing isn’t just about diet and exercise, it’s about the whole picture of who we are. The wisdom and storytelling shared in this episode features the incredibly honest heart of Ryan Harland

For too long, men’s health has been clouded by silence and stigma. Phrases like “man up” have done more harm than good. So in this conversation, Ryan shares his personal journey — from the impact of abuse and silence, to the emotional rollercoaster of home and school life, and the importance of finally finding his voice.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Why men’s health matters and why “man up” is not the answer

  • The long shadow of abuse and its impact on emotions and behaviours

  • The silence carried, and the cost of not speaking up

  • Finding healthier ways to cope with Bipolar Disorder

  • The role of therapy, group support, and the right kind of help

  • Why social media can be a mask — and why connection matters more

  • The importance of relationships, community, and taking life one step at a time

On a quest to reach as many people as possible, ensuring no one suffers alone, Ryan’s story is incredible.

Remember — it’s always okay to open up and share your struggles, regardless of your past or your age.

Every individual has the power to create a positive impact. This story isn’t just about pain — it’s a tale of resilience and triumph, one that I hope inspires others to find their voice and spark change in their own lives and communities.

Tune in to Episode 71 of Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS. Let’s break down stigma, open up honest conversations, and remind each other: you are not alone.
