Tom Campbell, presenter from Cultaholic Wrestling, stands on in a wrestling ring in a black suit, bearded and animated, pointing and speaking into a microphone. Below the image is The Middle-aged Bodcast logo with the text: "Season 4, Episode 11 – Tom Campbell".

From early mornings on breakfast radio to the bright lights of wrestling ring announcing – and now the pavement – Tom Campbell has lived a life full of big energy and even bigger reinventions.

In this episode, Tom joins Rich and T.A. to talk about his midlife transformation: how Couch to 5K got him off the sofa, why Slimming World finally worked, and what it’s really like running a half marathon after 40.

We also dive into Tom’s broadcasting beginnings, life at Cultaholic Wrestling, emotional eating, weight loss wins, and the daily battle to stay motivated – even when you’d rather stay in bed.
