Fitness guru Joe Wicks appeared on ITV daytime programme Lorraine to discuss the parallels between physical and mental health - and opened up about his own troubling childhood.
The Body Coach spoke to Scottish television presenter Lorraine Kelly on the morning programme on Monday, and discussed the way mental and physical health are connected.
Joe said: "I think, if you just focus on the cooking at home, and you start to reduce some of the processed food that you eat, you start to feel a bit better - and everything else falls into place, with exercise and your sleep and so on."

The 36-year-old also opened up about his childhood, and how his tough upbringing has spurred him on to create a loving environment for his own children.
He continued: "I think everyone just sees the Joe Wicks Body Coach, and that's the end result - but my childhood shaped me and gave me a drive and empathy to want to help others.
"Now knowing my own parents upbringing and what they went through, is that I realise they both had severe mental health issues.
"My mum had obsessive compulsive disorder and an eating disorder, my dad battled with drug addiction, so being a young boy in that environment was very chaotic and you end up feeling very up and down, very anxious all the time.
"I think exercise was my go-to and it's what helped me, so this documentary reveals that and also we speak to other families that are going through similar issues, and we shine a light on the services that are there to help these people."
Joe Wicks will be embarking on a documentary alongside expert on docs, Louis Theroux, to examine his past, and let Joe open up on his past with his families mental and physical issues.
The documentary is called Joe Wicks: Mental Health, My Family And Me, and will be available to view on BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this year.
ITV's Lorraine resumes on Tuesday March 22, and continues every weekday on the channel from 9am onwards.
