“From Living With Obesity to Pro Natural Bodybuilder: The Transformation of James Dobbin”

In this episode, Jeff Young talks with James Dobbin, a 42-year-old father of three from Lincolnshire, England, who went from battling obesity, high blood pressure and burnout to becoming a pro natural bodybuilder and founder of Reclaim Coaching.

James shares how one message—“It’s your fault, but that means you’re also the solution”—completely reframed his mindset. That moment of accountability sparked a two-year transformation grounded in discipline, tracking, and consistency.

He opens up about the turning points that shaped his journey: juggling family loss and long commutes, rejecting excuses, and using strength training and structured nutrition to reclaim control over his health. Together, Jeff and James discuss why motivation fades but discipline and self-education create lasting change.

They also tackle common myths in the weight loss world. James explains why calorie tracking is empowering, not restrictive, and how simple, sustainable habits—adequate protein, hydration, and consistency—produced lasting results. His transformation speaks for itself:

· Resting heart rate dropped from 86 to 44 bpm

· Blood pressure improved from 173/110 to 110/55

· Energy, confidence, and purpose returned stronger than ever

James’s message is clear: don’t wait for a health scare—start now. Swap bad habits for good ones, and stay consistent long enough to let them define who you are.
