I was a chef for 25 years and an entrepreneur for 20 of them. I have always been passionate about what I do and worked hard to achieve the levels that I thought I should be achieving. That included working in restaurants with multiple Michelin stars, working alongside superstars such as Gordon Ramsay, Michel Roux Jr and Yves Mattagne, and opening my own restaurant and consultancy service. I was living the dream.

It was an incredible life, amazing really - but it was also a tough one. Nothing about the way I was going about things was healthy. I worked crazy long days in an extremely high-stress environment. I was treating myself badly, way too much caffeine, too much alcohol, not enough sleep, unhealthy food - it was a recipe for disaster. But when you’re in the every day of it you don’t see that. You just see the next achievement that you’re chasing after.
