I quit drinking 5 years ago. I was throwing the stuff down my neck at a ridiculous, life shortening rate. I did 20 years with HMPS and realised that the drinking culture combined with PTSD was taking me down with it. I did the Macmillan 'Sober in October' challenge and just kept going. I thought I was going to die - the headaches and shits lasted for about 2 months but I kept with it. I watched motivational stuff and read books by Foxy and Mark Billingham. I'm still sober and feel so much better.
Gordon completely hits the nail on the head in regards to responsibility, regardless if it's substance abuse or mental illness, when you are responsible for other people wether it be family or members of staff, Gordon's frame of mind is exactly the way my mum and dad instilled in me, you have made or built a position where you are responsible for other people, families and if you are struggling then you 110% have to be honest regardless of the consequences, you must be honest to the people who rely on you to survive, Gordon is an absolute inspiration as a Scottish entrepreneur and self employed individual he has inspired me to stay strong and helped me get through some of the darkest times in my life 🙏
Foxy is special forces so of course he is a beast. But i have watched a lot of Gordon doing triathlons, swimming and he even done the Royal Marines assault course and done training with the US marines. Gordon is certified bad ass.🙏
When he said that he couldn’t focus on fitness in his 40s because he was 100% focused on his career and getting to the top, I realised just how much of a perfectionist he is. To find something that you are that passionate about is honestly beautiful.
I have to get up for work at 3:30am, but i get up an hour earlier and hit gym before i start every day monday to friday. Its not hard, im excited to start my day like that. I could go after work, but thats less time with my family. Im 37, you and healthier and fitter than ive ever been!
Over my years of training I have always struggled with addiction (I will always be an addict) and have met ALOT of people who have a similar past. At 38 now that drive that addiction gave me to keep indulging is now my drive to get out and train. Never too late to make that change.
I worked in pub kitchens from 15-17 and at that age being around full time drinkers it really put me off being a chef. I went into the trades and karate. Now I'm 43, i teach Japanese mma, karate and help run a maintenance company. Getting out of washing dishes and cutting vegetables was the best thing I ever did 👍
It cannot be easy of who these guys are and the mental they put them selves through on a pro rata basis. We all hit the point of break down at some part in our lives - and obstacles are real.
I tell you the craziest thing about this... Men talking about health in a Men's Health piece. Hopefully they're actually listening to the customers now.
A message to the people that can’t control their drink and put everyone in the same category. Most of us can drink in moderation and it not be a problem. Just because you have an addictive personality, it doesn’t mean the rest of us have.
It's not possible for everyone and you need talant and awareness and ability. I have his book signed which is excellent. Huge fan of his shows. He's 100% entirely right about the gratitude on his shows being completely underwhelming.
@@davidlynch9049 Not everyone can work as a chef. It takes talent, ability and luck with press recognition and constant customers. Most businesses fail. Not everyone knows how the techniques are for prep. It's not about working your arse off it's a number of factors. I know someone who run the best cheese steak restaurant in the states, my Italian mate went around Philly too, came back to me & said this place was better, but it bleeds money & it failed. I have Di George's syndrome and a high arch on my foot and it's impossible for me to be a chef. I'm Dyspraxic so I suffer with coordination issues. Not everyone can do it.
@@RickC-oo1hm yeah but you're ex RM ie always been fit. Ramsey was fat and drank a lot most of his life, as well as other substances. You can't just flip that in your late 30s/early 40s, work 12 hours a day while eating as little as his does and have that energy at almost 60. No way.
One there's no such thing as "clean eating" which is an idea that promotes eating disorders and two he's been cooking food like that for twenty years now.
What’s the point in working yourself that hard. Millionaire many multiple times over. Hasn’t got time for more than 30mins a day training. When is enough enough. It’s only money.
It's not about the money, as he mentioned. It's about that drive to just keep growing (as in developing), first as a chef himself and then teaching and being able to give back.
That's a Thru Dark tee. I didn't rate their gear when I bought some a few years back. It was badly sized and pretty cheaply made. Their customer service was awful too.
Complex trauma leads to addiction. One brother becomes addicted to pressure, success, physical training and fame. One becomes addicted to Cocaine, Heroin and booze. Both do it to ease the pain, but one journey is adaptive, the other maladaptive. How long until we understand that trauma is the root cause of addiction, and that addiction is just a coping mechanism. Moving from judgement to curiosity must be the path to empathy and helping others.
I can not express from being super fit to falling off the wagon and being super fit again. Absolutely essential people get themselves fit. You don't need to be the best. Just strive for improvement and find what you enjoy.
It's not easy to motivate your self some times especially when you have a real health concern and some really bad fucking luck and everything knocks you back continuously starting back exercising doing everything right and still your body just fails and lays you up for weeks and all you want to do is go for a run or go to the gym just doing what you can when can be so frustrating. It's OK for people like Gordon with all the money in the world to get the best Dr's and physiotherapy ect but for the normal people out there. you get fuck all and have to do it all your self. There the people you would listen to that's the stories I want to here about how they managed it what they did.
It kinda sad that this is being pushed as good mental health, I get it that someone staying away from drugs and alcohol and exercising regularly is very possitive but It looks like gordon has fallen into a trap fuelled by fear, and an inability to take a break. There is nothing healthy about over working yourself and running away from your fears, he said his ability to heal quickly was was because he trains hard but training hard was the very thing that got him injured, I do agree with him that being fit and healthy wil help you heal but he is ignoring the fact that pushing himself too hard at an old age put him there in the first place.
Shame it was an echoey room Men's Health? Echo is not good for Sound. Great Camera work, but why a large room? Microphones above needed to be closer to the speakers.
They do seem genuine and decent but a couple of times I had to do a double take and remind myself it wasn’t some sort of alpha male spoof! Even down to the outfits. You could so imagine this being taken off in a parody sketch.
Acknowledging using TRT doesn't take away from all the hours and hard work they put in. But it creates an unrealistic expectation for people of the same age who wants to do the same amount of training without enhancement - you can't. Much like the overnight superhero movie transformations actors go through - tons of hard work, but no enhancements? Absolute fucking bollocks.
I'm from a poor family but Brough up you work hard no Dole didn't go to Uni but had a strong work ethic taught to save ended up being paid a top salary in Advertising more than my Father he said 'I've done my Job all my Daughters had well paid jobs Ecco Fatto

Two absolute beasts who as a man in my 40’s, I don’t dread getting older looking at these. Still out there slinging.
Gordon has always had an incredible energy level and drive. He's kept himself fit and it proves even at his age you can keep on top of your game

Brilliant stuff. As a 60 year old guy who has been through serious health issues in recent years, this is inspiring. Well done both.
I love Ramsey! Thank you for all that you share with us!
Something about Ramsay that just motivates me like nobody else, his drive is so infectious. He just makes me want to work and succeed!!!
These are the sorts of blokes young lads should look up to.
great work Jason i,ve found lots of insparation from your books
and now really enjoying your podcasts
You need to give it to Gordon he works very hard….. the stress of he’s status not anyone can do it. He’s definitely strong minded
Brutality honest Ramsey. All respect. What an amazing guy. This man lives in the real world.
That was excellent. There's a mutual respect between these two.
Foxy is a great interviewer!
You've just changed my life forever.. thank u
It cannot be easy of who these guys are and the mental they put them selves through on a pro rata basis.

Love these two. Foxy I love the t shirt I’m now ordering a couple. Great interview Thankyou chaps.
This is a great watch being an older trainer.
Never imagined these two together
Oh no, not more BRUTAL HONESTY!! I can’t take any more BRUTAL HONESTY🤦♂️🤦♂️

Great interview two top lads
Excellent interview !
‘Michelin stars coming out my ass’ Absolutely love Gordon 😂

Enjoyed this interview .✊️🧠💪🏾 58 and its true
Great insight what you can do if you put your mind to it. With drive and determination
Really honest. Great and Inspirational interview

Ramsay started in kitchens when he was a teenager. Do you think he thought about talent? No. He simply worked his arse off and learned. You can too.

Haven't even started watching. Two fu*king beasts man.

Dont compqre ramsay to Jason..special forces are next level
No one talks about TRT
Yeah, no way at 57 is he able to do all that without chemical help. Don’t care what anyone says.
Not true, I'm also 57, ex RM, work shifts, still train to the max.

@@Axispaw1don’t talk 💩 😂😂

Would love to see Gordon do a clean eating video of what he has or some ideas of healthy, lean food made a bit more exciting 👌
One there's no such thing as "clean eating" which is an idea that promotes eating disorders and two he's been cooking food like that for twenty years now.
What’s the point in working yourself that hard. Millionaire many multiple times over. Hasn’t got time for more than 30mins a day training. When is enough enough. It’s only money.
Maybe he's trying to build something that'll last longer than he will? To give to his kids so they never have to struggle to survive etc

Today I sat around and ate Pringles and tiramisu. 💪
Jason, where is that t-shirt from please?
That's a Thru Dark tee. I didn't rate their gear when I bought some a few years back. It was badly sized and pretty cheaply made. Their customer service was awful too.
Brilliant 👌

If you have the resources to take back every minute of your life and you still fear boredom, then you've not cultivated your mind in the right way
Get Gordon on Celebrity SAS
Get him on celeb sas that would be great 👍
Bloody brilliant
I'm am alcoholic and I'm doing my best for help
Gordon is being a little disingenuous there. He neglects to mention, when he has two bites of a meal, that his fork is the size of a shovel.
get them 2 decent chairs FFS
Ramsey sat there like a frog😂
@@jackdiggs5364in Ghandis fkn flip flop 😂😂
Poor grammar in your title... brutally honesty? it's either brutally honest or brutal honesty
I can not express from being super fit to falling off the wagon and being super fit again. Absolutely essential people get themselves fit.
You don't need to be the best. Just strive for improvement and find what you enjoy.
Did Gordon have what is takes to be an SAS soldier himself?
Get Gordon on SAS Who Dares Wins lol
Foxy's huge.
Alpha men’s health
Try one ingredient shopping.
If it had more than one ingredient on the package... forget it...
Foxy is the GOAT
i think there's an elephant in the room called TRT
Nowt wrong with that, 1 in 4 males have abnormally low testosterone levels, they've been dropping 2% for all of us every year since the 80's

Fucking brilliant
