Mindset - Rebuilding Yourself with Harry Purdy
Sun Jul 20 2025
From a 23-stone football manager who couldn't run a mile, to an endurance athlete and mindset coach, Harry Purdy’s story is a powerful lesson in total transformation. But this isn't just another weight-loss tale. What happens when you fix the body, only to realise the mind is still in a warzone?
In this deeply honest episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Harry Purdy opens up about his journey from morbid obesity and crippling intrusive thoughts to finding true strength. He reveals the moment at a cup final that forced him to confront the man he’d become and how that sparked a gruelling battle, not just with the scales, but with the people-pleasing, anxiety, and self-doubt that were truly holding him hostage.
This is a raw conversation about what it really takes to rebuild yourself from the inside out. It’s for anyone who knows their struggle is about more than just numbers on a scale or in a bank account. It’s about forging a new identity.
Here's what you'll learn:
The Turning Point: How a love for football exposed a hard truth that changed everything. Beyond Self-Discipline: Why discipline is a myth and how to make choices that serve the person you want to become. Winning the Head Game: Actionable strategies to manage the intrusive thoughts and anxiety that can derail your progress. The People-Pleaser Trap: How to stop putting others first at the expense of your own mental and physical health.Prevention vs. Cure: The difference between a quick-fix transformation and building a lifestyle that creates lasting change.
