Jacob Saunders is a Certified Personal Trainer at Goodlife in Orangeville, Ontario who has been working in the industry for 8 years.

This episode is all about counting calories and why it should never be the first choice for gen pop individuals who want to lose weight. Jacob makes the argument for habit-based weight loss strategies and how to implement those habits into your lifestyle or your clients'. He makes the case for counting calories being a form of disordered eating, how to develop mindfulness and awareness around hunger cues, why building habits is better than counting calories for achieving longterm weight loss success, how to leverage motivational interviewing techniques when consulting with a weight loss client, why our words matter when it comes to discussing a weight loss plan, signs of disordered eating and what to do to support a healthy relationship with food, examples of normal eating behaviours and a HUGE announcement!

Marv is a Personal Trainer at Goodlife Fitness in Brampton, Ontario and graduated from Fitness and Health Promotion at Humber College in Toronto.

In this episode, Marv talks to us about why he likes powerlifting, playing semi-pro football and trying out for the Toronto Argos, passing out after pulling a deadlift in training, his faith in Jesus Christ, overcoming injuries and the subsequent bad advice from healthcare professionals, how learning a language is like teaching clients how to squat, the struggles of growing up in a single-parent household, how good it feels to see clients' progress carry over into daily activities, how the routine structure of sports kept him out of trouble as a kid, and speaking to each client in a way they understand.

We are back with a different kind of episode! In this one, we breakdown a meta analysis exploring what modes of exercise are effective in treating non-specific low back pain. We talk about some basic things to look for when interpreting a scientific study, why your personal observations and anecdotes aren't particularity useful in isolation, why "science" doesn't have all the answers, whether stretching is effective in the treatment of persistent low back pain, why we prefer active modalities over passive modalities in the treatment of pain, and the difference between statistical significance and clinical significance.
