Men’s Health: Built For Life

Eddie Hearn is back on Men’s Health: Built For Life – and this time, he’s talking about the training, nutrition and mindset shifts helping him feel better in his 40s than he did in his 30s.

Speaking to Men’s Health Fitness Director Andrew Tracey, the boxing promoter opens up on why movement has become a daily non-negotiable, how he’s learned to train smarter rather than simply smash himself in the gym, and why fuelling properly – yes, including carbs – has transformed the quality of his sessions.

Hearn also discusses ageing, fatherhood, weight, self-criticism, the long-term investment of fitness, his father Barry’s health journey, why road work still matters for fighters, life after boxing, and whether Dana White has ‘lost his mojo’.

For Eddie, the goal is simple: keep moving, keep chipping away, and arrive at 50 looking and feeling better than ever.

On this episode of the Built For Life podcast, Richard Gadd joins Andrew Tracey to break down the reality behind his extreme body transformation for Half Man.

After dropping to 68kg for Baby Reindeer, Gadd pushed his body to over 100kg, training six days a week, eating relentlessly and even dehydrating himself for scenes. But despite the scale of the change, he admits he ‘never felt as big as I wanted to be.’

They unpack the psychology of bulking, why progress is so hard to see even when it’s obvious to everyone else, and how quickly training can become addictive. The conversation also digs into the pressure of physique transformations and the link between exercise and mental health.

Alongside the physical side, Gadd talks about masculinity, identity and the thinking behind his new show Half Man – and why the most interesting stories are the ones that don’t give you a clean answer.

This week on the Built For Life podcast Ben Shephard and Andrew Tracey are joined by  Paul 'The Warrior Walker' Harris, who explains how something as simple as walking became the foundation for rebuilding his life.

After a mental health crisis left him lost and struggling, the former Royal Marine set out to walk the UK coastline with no plan and just £300. He didn’t just finish it – he did it twice, covering over 20,000km.

A powerful conversation on mental health, resilience, and why more of us need to get out and walk.

On this week's Men’s Health: Built For Life podcast Ben Shephard and Andrew Tracey sit down on the with GP, broadcaster and author Dr Jack Mosley to unpack two of the most talked-about ideas in modern nutrition: ‘food noise’ and fat-loss jabs.

Why do some people constantly think about food, while others barely give it a second thought? Is it really a willpower issue – or something deeper?

They dive into the rise of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Tirzepatide, how they act like ‘noise-cancelling headphones’ for your appetite, and why for many people, the noise comes roaring back once they stop. The conversation explores the real benefits, the hidden downsides – including muscle loss and nutrient deficiencies – and what happens when you rely on appetite suppression without fixing the fundamentals.

They also get into the ‘wild west’ of online pharmacies and black-market peptides, the surprising impact these drugs can have on alcohol and addictive behaviours, and why strength training might be the most overlooked piece of the puzzle.

This is a nuanced, no-nonsense look at one of the biggest shifts in health and fat loss right now – separating hype from reality, and giving you practical takeaways you can actually use.

Your Men's Health: Built For Life Hosts – Ben Shephard and Andrew Tracey – sit down to unpack Ben’s road back to the marathon at 51 – after being told post–back surgery he’d never go the distance again. They dig into the reality of ‘minimum effective dose’ training, how to rebuild around injury, and what actually moves the needle when time (and your body) isn’t on your side.

AT also breaks down his latest experiment: taking on the brutal 81km TransGranCanaria mountain ultra on just one run per week. What worked, what didn’t, and how a simple timekeeping error left him stranded at the top of a mountain, watching the race slip away.
