Week seven of the Stay at the Top Summer Reset series focuses on one word that underpins sustainable health and performance in 2026. Consistency.

Consistency is often misunderstood as rigidity. In reality, it is structured flexibility. It is about creating guard rails around the behaviours that matter, while allowing freedom within them.

In this episode, I unpack why the biggest barrier is not inconsistency, but the swing from doing nothing to trying to do everything. When inputs are predictable, energy and recovery become easier to manage. This episode will help you define what consistency looks like for your current season of life, so it actually holds.

In this episode, I cover

- Why consistency is often confused with rigidity

- The problem with zero to one hundred behaviour change

- What structured flexibility actually looks like

- Why momentum beats white knuckling every time

- How inconsistency in food drives inconsistent energy

- The guard rails that support steadier energy and clearer thinking

- How to think about meal timing, gaps and composition

- Why diversity matters without sacrificing predictability

- How to define consistency for your current season of life

- Your simple reset task for the week

Key Quotes

“Consistency is not rigidity. It is structured flexibility.”
