Episode 9: Haul to Health – Chris Barlow’s Journey from Burnout to Balance

Chris Barlow lived the full-tilt truckie lifestyle – long hauls, sleepless nights and plenty of quick fixes to keep himself going. But the real crash didn’t happen on the road – it came when his health and head finally hit the wall. With help from mental health professionals, better food and daily movement, Chris lost 35 kilos and gained a whole new outlook. Shane and Chris get real about breaking bad habits, setting boundaries, and proving that healthy and trucking can go hand in hand.
