Geoff Alley D.C - Chiropractor/Health and Wellness Coach

These photos are hard to post, but they’re part of the journey. Preparation asks for discipline, sacrifice, patience, and a level of honesty that isn’t always comfortable. There’s nowhere to hide in bodybuilding — only the work, the consistency, and the willingness to keep showing up even when it’s demanding mentally and physically.

These photos are not easy for me to share. I’m a pretty private person, and putting my body on display like this feels vulnerable. But this is my real journey, with all the struggle, doubt, discipline, and small wins that come with preparing for bodybuilding.

I’m posting this not to show off, but to be honest about what commitment looks like.

As a Chiropractor and Health and Wellness Coach, I ask my patients and clients to invest in themselves, to stay consistent, and to believe that change is possible.

These images are me holding myself to the same standard.

There are days I question myself, days I’m tired, and days I feel far from where I want to be. But every time I push through another workout or stick to my plan, I’m reminded that growth often happens quietly, away from the spotlight.

If you’re struggling with your own goals right now, I get it. Progress can feel slow and uncomfortable.

But you’re not alone in that. If sharing these photos helps even one person keep going, then the discomfort is worth it.

I’m now just 30 days out from my first comp. I need to really refine my posing technique and lose another 1-2% of body fat. I’m confidant I’ll be ready.

From a high of 110kg after my very relaxing holiday in Rarotonga last October 😜 to hitting 89.9kgs yesterday. That’s a tick over 20kgs lost.

Yes, I’m proud of myself and I’m so thankful to those around me who are so supportive. My coaches Mel and Matt Rad and of course my wife Kelly for putting up with my constant fatigue, mood swings and being so ‘Hangry’ many times.

I’m reminded and motivated of the quote by Socrates..

“It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”

Thank you for following my journey and for letting me be human in the process.🙏

This should not be a controversial post, yet some will immediately call me “anti-vax”

I’m not. I’m pro choice and pro good science and data.

We should be free to make our own informed choices and not be dictated to by those with a vested interest in vaccines.

The study was by Paul Thomas, MD, and colleagues. It was published in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in 2020 under the title “Relative Incidence of Office Visits and Cumulative Rates of Billed Diagnoses Along the Axis of Vaccination in a Pediatric Population.”
It compared children according to vaccination status and reported 0 cases of autism among 561 children classified as unvaccinated, compared with 15 cases among 894 vaccinated children. The vaccinated group also showed higher rates of childhood auto immune disease. Good study to read up on.

Study/article information — International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health⁠

At the end of the day I’m all about a total wellness regime including regular exercise, a whole food organic diet and boosting our bodies natural immune system including regular Chiropractic care.

President Trump just signed an executive order overhauling the childhood vaccine schedule.

It spreads shots across more visits and removes vaccines children do not need from universal recommendations.

“Effective immediately, my administration is recognizing gold standard childhood vaccine recommendations for only 11 core vaccinations against the most serious and dangerous diseases.”

“We want the MMR in three separate vaccinations given at separate times.”

“At one year, you should have five separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day.”

“Vaccinations for hepatitis B, COVID-19, and influenza, among others, are no longer recommended for all children.”

“This executive order directs the Attorney General to advance legal challenges against states that violate children’s rights to religious or medical vaccination exemptions.”

In 1973, eight perfectly healthy people walked into different psychiatric hospitals across the United States. They were not ill. Yet no one inside those walls was able to see it.
It was an experiment. One of the most disturbing experiments in the history of psychiatry. Designed by psychologist David Rosenhan, it began with a simple yet unsettling question: is it really possible to reliably distinguish mental health from mental illness?
To find out, Rosenhan recruited eight pseudopatients. They were ordinary people: a painter, a housewife, a pediatrician, a graduate student. They lied about only one thing—they claimed to hear voices. Nothing more. No bizarre behavior, no crises, just three words heard in their minds: “empty,” “hollow,” “thud.”
All of them were admitted. And immediately afterward, they stopped pretending. They behaved normally. They cooperated. They asked to be discharged. It wasn’t possible.
The staff no longer saw people, but diagnoses. Every action was reinterpreted through the lens of illness: writing notes? Obsessive behavior. Standing in the hallway? Pathological attention-seeking. Being polite? Controlled behavior consistent with the disorder.
Seven of them were labeled schizophrenic. One was diagnosed as manic-depressive. Not a single one was recognized as healthy. Not one.
But the real patients noticed. Some approached and whispered, “You’re not like the others. You don’t belong here.” They saw what the experts could not recognize.
The average length of hospitalization was 19 days. One person remained hospitalized for 52 days. Each passing day confirmed the same truth: the label was more powerful than reality.
When Rosenhan published his study—On Being Sane in Insane Places—it caused an earthquake. The psychiatric community erupted in outrage. One hospital challenged Rosenhan to send new pseudopatients, confident they would expose them. He accepted. In the following months, the hospital identified 41 supposed impostors. But Rosenhan had sent no one. No one at all.
The truth was now undeniable: diagnoses were not always based on facts, but on context. Once labeled, a person became a prisoner of that narrative. Even if they were sane. Even if they protested the truth.
This experiment shattered blind trust in clinical labels. It led to major reforms in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. But above all, it left a haunting and still relevant lesson:
Perception can distort reality more than madness itself.
And often, the most dangerous illusion is not that of those considered insane, but of those who believe they are always right.
Eight healthy people entered psychiatric hospitals in 1973. They came out carrying a truth the world could no longer ignore.

🇳🇿 A HUGE WELCOME TO OUR AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND ATHLETE! 🇳🇿

We are thrilled to announce Geoff Alley will be representing New Zealand on the international stage at the 4th Pro Am International Pacific Rim Championships!

📅 12 September 2026
📍 Hawkins Theatre, Auckland

✨ Geoff’s Incredible Journey
"I have always enjoyed sport and training all my life. Through my younger years I played Rugby, representing the New Zealand All Blacks at 7s and the USA Eagles at 15s. I played up until the age of 56 when I had my last game on North Harbour Stadium.

I’ve always loved challenging myself physically and mentally — and embracing the power of being comfortable being uncomfortable.

At 52, I stepped up for a Charity Boxing challenge: four months of intense training, then stepping into the ring to raise funds for I Am Hope and IT Heavy Hitters.
At 58, I ran my first half marathon. Earlier this year, I took on HYROX — an event that pushes every part of your strength, endurance and grit.

Then in April, looking for my next challenge, I found INBA. I sat down for a coffee with Matt and Mel Rad… and the rest is history 🙂

I’m loving every part of this journey. At 59, I’ll be stepping onto stage for the very first time — so excited to show what hard work and discipline have built, and to meet all the amazing people in this sport."

🚨 FDA Commissioner Marty Makary CONFIRMED the FDA purposefully lied to the people for nearly 2 decades against dietary fats to help Big Pharma

People avoided fat and ate MORE SUGAR, so Pharma could sell them more drugs.

RFK Jr. just declared open WAR on added sugar

“They suppressed the data for 16 years…Those in the low-fat group had higher rates of heart attacks!”

“We created a generation of children with low protein, high carbohydrates, sugar addiction, and burdened with ultra-processed foods, and what did we do as a medical field? Drugged them at scale!”

“Those days are OVER. We are telling people the truth about food.”

MAHA WILL WIN!

Just watched “An Inconvenient Study” by Del Bigtree — a must-see exposé!

This powerful documentary pulls back the curtain on the vaccine industry’s deep corruption and shocking lack of transparency.

Del Bigtree challenges a top doctor at Henry Ford Health to conduct a rigorous vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study on children’s health. The results? Alarming signals of higher chronic illness rates in vaccinated kids — yet the study was buried instead of published. 

Hidden camera footage reveals the fear driving decisions: publish the truth and risk careers.

It exposes how Big Pharma and institutions prioritize profits and mandates over genuine safety and effectiveness testing. Decades of inadequate long-term studies leave parents in the dark while childhood chronic conditions skyrocket.

This film demands accountability and informed consent. Eye-opening and urgent — watch it and share widely. Our kids deserve better than suppressed science.

Watch it and make your own informed decision

In 2016, journalist Del Bigtree issued a challenge to the head of i...

26 years ago today Dr Alan Wade took a punt on a new graduate, and gave me a room to call my own at Wade Chiropractic.

Soon we changed the name to Bays Chiropractic NZ and Alan built a huge purpose built new clinic behind the old house.

The house got transported away and the car park we see today was put in.

It’s been a fantastic time serving my community these last 26 years.

Time has flown by.

From just 2 Chiropractors and one front desk staff in May 2000 to 5 Chiros, 2 Physios, Acupuncturist, Massage therapist and 4 front desk staff.

What a team. I truly have been blessed.

Thanks to you all who have put your trust in me to keep you well these last 26 years.

There’s more to come. I’m not slowing down yet ❤️
