Four Australians transform the way they perform in life…

Have you ever marvelled at Greg Norman’s swing, Chris Judd’s precision or Libby Trickett’s grit?  Do you believe that elite athletes are born that way and are different from the rest of us?  Get ready to turn your thinking around!  More than just physically gifted machines, the athletes you most admire, excel at training their brains...

‘Body and Brain Overhaul’ is a new TV series that shatters conventional thinking about what it takes to achieve peak performance and stay there – whatever your field.

Whether you’re an elite athlete, a mum or a business executive ‘Body and Brain Overhaul’ will show that traditional exercise and wellbeing approaches, don’t take into account the individual’s response to the physical and mental stresses of contemporary living.

Over eight weeks, wellbeing & performance innovators, Paul Taylor & Dr Roy Sugarman, take four Australians and the viewers on a wild ride through the body and brain, uncovering the clues to achieving excellence in all areas of life.  Along the way, they challenge current training practices, overturn outmoded thinking and reveal startling facts about how to optimise the body & brain to achieve spectacular results.

We follow the progress of a sportsman, a business woman, a multi-tasking mum and an ‘average’ Aussie bloke, as they take on Paul’s life-changing eight week challenge.  Each week we see them tackle a new aspect of their individually designed programs. What will it take for each to raise the bar and reach optimum performance at home, in the office and on the sporting field?

‘Body and Brain Overhaul’ presenter, Paul Taylor, CEO of Personal Training Academy as well as Human Performance Institute is a former Royal Navy Aircrew Officer, an exercise physiologist and nutritionist who has designed his own system of evidence-based fitness science, called ‘Scientific Holism’.  He is an irreverent, charismatic international speaker and educator whose style makes for riveting television.

Paul will be joined in specific programs by leading brain expert and internationally recognized lecturer in neuropsychology, Dr Roy Sugarman, as well as a stellar line up of leaders in science and psychology. Australia’s elite sportspeople will also feature as they share the training secrets that make them champions.

Episodes cover: The Performance Web, The Stress Vortex, The Science of Weight Management, The Resilience Factor, Age-Proofing the Brain and much more.  Putting his combined knowledge of functional neuroscience, quantum physics and positive psychology to work on our four participants, Paul defies conventional personal trainers to put his teaching into practice!

‘Body and Brain Overhaul’ breaks new ground on the Australian sporting and lifestyle scene and is irresistible viewing for everyone who has a fascination with how the body and brain works.
