Dayne Beams was an elite AFL player, having played 177 games for Collingwood and Brisbane between 2009 and 2020. Dayne was named in the all-Australian team, he is a Collingwood premiership player, he captained Brisbane for two years, won best & fairest awards at both Collingwood and Brisbane, and for a range of interesting reasons (which you'll hear about in this chat), he left footy at the ripe old age of 30. In this episode of TYP, Dayne and I talk about his battle with addiction (prescription drugs and gambling) and the dramatic (and dangerous) start to his sobriety journey, we talk about mental health, losing and gaining friends, self-discovery, finding a new purpose, connecting with people who have been where we are, and lots more.

Good old Gillespo is back challenging convention, reminding me that psychology is BS, rocking the research boat and positing a new and fascinating theory on the most devastating of eating disorders; Anorexia Nervosa. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1517 Addiction in Reverse: The Link Between Anorexia and Reward Deficiency - David Gillespie

A few weeks ago, TYP regulars Brad and Carly Cunningham had their amazing Training Centre (The Fit Shop in Cheltenham) burn to the ground, losing their business and the amazing ‘third space' they had created for their members. This episode is a quick catch-up with Brad to see where things are at now and let's just say that their story is one of resilience, resourcefulness and the amazing kindness and generosity of awesome people ready to role up their sleeves, open their hearts and help a young family when they need it the most. Enjoy.

#1516 Out Of The Ashes - Brad Cunningham

I was recently on The Paul Taylor Podcast, chatting about my PhD research in the areas of metacognition, theory of mind, meta-perception and meta-accuracy, and as always, it was an interesting, intellectual and fun conversation. This episode is a co-share. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1515 A Snapshot Of My Research - Paul Taylor

This is the episode I that really didn't want to record because, no matter the intention, the science, the data or the reason for the conversation, it seems that we live in a culture where some people will find a way to get offended, angry or hateful, no matter what. As an exercise scientist, educator, one-time morbidly obese child (teenager and adult), former gym owner and fitness professional who has trained thousands of people and dealt with his own body (and emotional) issues for decades, I have endeavoured to explore this topic through a lens of love, compassion, practicality and clinical research.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
