  • Can Optimised Vitamin D Protect You From The Sun

    Most of us know at least one person that has suffered from skin cancer and while in todays modern world, prognosis is often very good and chances for recovery are high, I have always wondered how our ancestors coped, spending the lions share of their lives naked, unprotected and directly exposed to the elements

    Over the years I have read a number of studies and articles that seem to suggest that sun tan lotions, or more accurately, their active ingredients, may pose potential health problems such as hormone disruption and since the arrival of my two young daughters and our relocation to a hot climate I decided to look deeper into the subject.

    We already know that the sun gives us Vitamin D but can adequate vitamin D protect us free n the sun?

    This weeks podcast episode is based on my own accidental 8 year personal study into this very possibility. Part meta analysis/part anecdotal controlled study, what I have found has certainly given me some food for thought.

    I will say 1 thing, whether you ensure that you maintain adequate consumption of Vitamin D rich foods and consistent sun exposure or you take a high quality supplement, Vitamin D really is an absolute power house when it comes to our health, both for an optimised immune function but also for the proper workings of many functions around the body.

    I hope you enjoy this episode, as always, please comment and share the episode and if you haven’t already hit the subscribe button either on my substack page or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

  • Life is Like a Golf Swing

    When I am coaching my clients I often explain that if you want to show up optimally in life, its beneficial to imagine your behaviours as if they were a golf swing.

    For anyone that has ever picked up a club, you will know that there are many elements that go into the perfect swing, forget just one of them and you will no doubt find yourself shanking the ball well and truly into the rough.

    The problem is, most of us only know how to pick up a club and take a wild swing and this is no different when it comes to life.

    In this podcast I explain this in more detail.

    I hope you enjoy
