Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS
What does podcast success really look like?
In a world chasing viral hits and follower counts, success often hides in places less glamorous but far more meaningful—like the DM that says,
"That episode helped me rethink how I treat my body."
Since launching Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS, we’ve:
✅ Hit 5,000+ downloads in just over a year
✅ Released weekly episodes without fail
✅ Welcomed brilliant guests who bring real stories, not filtered perfection
✅ Built a trusted space for conversations on insulin resistance, gut health, light exposure, burnout, postpartum care & more
✨ But numbers aside, here’s what really matters:
- People are listening—and changing.
- They’re reflecting, challenging norms, and asking better questions about health.
- They’re finding community in curiosity, and that’s powerful.
Special gratitude to every guest and listener who’s helped grow this ripple.
Because this isn’t just a podcast.
It’s a reminder: you don’t need more noise. You need more truth.

Tom Gold
I'm a Life Coach, Bush craft Instructor and personal trainer and I'm a big believer in using the outdoors to restore ourselves. It's the environment we were built and designed to thrive in which is why it all somehow makes sense when we go back there.
Don't believe me? Why is a room with view so important? Why do we go on holiday to places that look nice - like the seaside or the country? Why is it when you google 'success' and hit images more than half the pictures are of people on mountain tops?
I work with businesses, with front line NHS staff, combat veterans dealing with PTSD and people dealing with a variety of mental health challenges.
I have an ICF accredited Diploma in Transformational Life Coaching, an Honours degree in Psychology and I’m a qualified Bush craft Instructor.
On my show nobody gets cold wet and miserable, nobody gets put under pressure to bare their soul and nobody has to take on any physical challenges or tests.
Fun facts about Tom
I live in Scotland in the Trossachs National Park, sometimes known as the Gateway to the Highlands.
I have two sons. They are the centre of my world.
People often say to me ‘Oh Bushcraft, you mean like Bear Grylls?’ I am nothing like Bear Grylls.
I like action movies and I love true life adventure stories which I find very inspiring.
I worked for a year in a correctional boot camp in Arizona. It was extremely challenging.
I travelled, unsupported from Inverness to Glasgow with a folding kayak to raise money for a school in Gambia. That was quite challenging too.
I am the co-inventor of the little known sport of ‘Wheelie Bin Ball’. An honour I share with members of my Glasgow youth group.
