Leigh is a Functional Medicine Practitioner, CHEK Faculty Instructor, Active Release Techniques® Therapist, Emotion Code Practitioner, author, and podcast host.

Leigh’s love for sports and fitness started young, and by age 14, he was already weight training. His career took off at 27 after completing his first course with the American College of Sports Medicine, and his passion for learning has never stopped since.
Leigh has studied under some of the top experts in the world, including Paul Chek and Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, and has been teaching at the renowned CHEK Institute since 2010, presenting in Europe, the U.S., and Australia. He’s also authored five health and fitness books and offers online education programs.

About this episode -
Leigh brought me some gifts, and we had a great conversation about his latest book on eliminating adult acne. Naturally, we dove into Paul Chek and the Chek Institute, which takes this awesome holistic approach to health and wellness. We both agree on the importance of considering the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects when thinking about someone’s well-being. Everything is connected, like diet, stress, emotions, and even posture, which can seriously affect overall health.
Leigh shared more about his training in the Chek system and how it integrates movement science with other health elements. We also discussed the accusations that the Chek system is a bit cult-like. Still, he emphasised the importance of critical thinking and personal experimentation in these methods.
I also shared some of my background—my journey in health and wellness, the work I do with clients, and how I’ve navigated the podcasting world. We both know how tough it can be to run a podcast, and we talked about the grind and the challenges of keeping up with it.
One big theme was our frustration with the current medical system, especially the need for more critical thinking from many doctors. We swapped stories from our experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially the pushback we got when we questioned the mainstream narrative.
The conversation then shifted to the importance of awakening and encouraging critical thinking in a world that often pushes conformity. We also dug into the need to address the root cause of health issues instead of just treating symptoms. Modern medicine has limits, and we stressed the importance of prioritising happiness and fulfilment in life, not just physical health.
Leigh shared his wisdom on holistic health and his four-doctor coaching model, which revolves around happiness, rest, diet, and movement. He also talked about tapping into intuition and connecting with universal consciousness. We wrapped up with a great reminder to live each day fully and, most importantly, have fun.
I hope you enjoy the chat.
Much love
