In this episode, Sir Steve Redgrave — the only Briton to win five consecutive Olympic golds between 1984 and 2000, and a nine-time world champion — speaks with Dr Hilary about the health battles that shaped his career. He recalls colitis striking before Barcelona 1992, the treatment that required official clearance to let him compete, and the pain he endured to stay on the world stage.

He also explains being diagnosed with diabetes at 35, learning to balance insulin with punishing training sessions, and still going on to claim his fifth gold medal at Sydney 2000.

After retiring, Steve says he felt adrift when the Olympic flame finally went out. He speaks candidly about depression, why seeking help matters, and the role testosterone treatment played in restoring his confidence.
Steve also remembers being one of the first people involved in London’s Olympic bid, later helping to deliver the Games, and reflects on how London 2012 and his own career raised the profile of rowing in Britain.

In this moving episode, Pete Cohen (https://www.petecohen.com/) talks about love, loss, and the mindset shifts that shape a meaningful life. Pete reflects on the death of his wife, Hannah, after a remarkable 12-year journey through brain cancer—and how that experience changed his relationship with himself.

He speaks candidly about how grief challenged him to face his thoughts and emotions, let go of “busyness,” and live more intentionally. The conversation explores how phobias form and can be overcome, how visualising the future can shape behaviour, and why helping others begins with knowing yourself. Pete also shares powerful insights from working with elite athletes like Ronnie O’Sullivan and Sally Gunnell, and why pressure, trauma, and identity can define performance.

With humour and heart, Pete and Dr. Hilary revisit their early TV collaborations—fire walks, costume talks, and health campaigns that used playfulness to spark change. The episode is a wide-ranging reflection on resilience, perspective, and the quiet power of showing up.
