She signed up from the Cook Islands. She's been traveling for work ever since. And she's down nearly 6 kilos.

Stella is Prolific's self-described "weekend warrior" - someone who couldn't do Monday to Friday, didn't have a neat schedule, and overthinks everything. So she did the one thing most busy people forget is an option: she kept it simple.

In this episode, Luke sits down with Stella for an honest conversation about making a fitness journey work when life genuinely won't slow down - no ideal conditions, no perfect routine, just showing up when you can and doing the mahi when you get there.

You'll hear how she stopped measuring herself against other members and started measuring herself against her own consistency, why protein became her one non-negotiable, how semi-private training changed the way her body actually moves, and what it looks like to want strong over skinny - and actually build toward it.

If you've been waiting for a less busy season to start - this one's for you.

Why do cravings hit hardest when you’re tired, stressed, or bored?
Whether it’s the 3 p.m. slump at work, the drive-home “screw it” moment, or the 9 p.m. pantry raid, those urges aren’t random—they’re predictable loops driven by biology, emotion, and routine.

In this episode, Luke breaks down exactly what’s happening in your brain and body when cravings strike—and shows you how to flip the pattern with his simple RER Method: Refuel · Examine · Replace.

You’ll learn:

• Why blood-sugar dips, stress, and decision fatigue make cravings feel unstoppable
• How your environment and evening rhythm trigger autopilot snacking
• The 3-question checkpoint that instantly tells you if it’s hunger, habit, or headspace
• How to keep the reward without the regret

By the end, you’ll have a plan to stop fighting your cravings and start outsmarting them - no guilt, no restriction, just rhythm and awareness.
