Often I tell people the easiest dials to turn when changing the shape of their body. Stop boozing. Stop smoking. And the body WILL change. But so few are prepared to give it a sincere shot. Many are simply too addicted to their vices and frankly, mentally untrained in how to sever ties. When so much of society is geared around poisoning ourselves to be socially accepted, it can be hard to make these changes.

So today's episode is for the smokers and drinkers out there. Can they thread the needle? Do they get to have their cake (or in this case booze and cigs) and eat it. Is there some hope of getting results without ever making a sacrifice to existing lifestyle? "Oh I know what Nick's going to say", you may be thinking. Well... Don't jump to conclusions, you!

When aiming solely for muscle growth, there are many things the wider, fat loss hellbent industry is not prepared to tell you. We all know that fat loss requires lifestyle sacrifices. But so too does muscle growth.

There can be too much of a good thing y'know! Even in fitness. In today's episode I'm chatting to those who need to learn "less is more"!

Protein is the trendiest word of today's food industry. Heck, it's a money maker. Let's say you're the CEO of a nut bar brand. Your marketing team suggests putting the phrase "High in Protein" on the packet. Absolutely nothing needs to change about the nut bar itself. Then - massive profits in the following quarterly report.

Protein has become the gold rainmaker of the food industry and this paradigm itself has left a gulf between nutritional fact and good marketing. Today's episode will help you to keep in alignment with nutritional reality and avoid the spell of marketing.

For many, getting stuck at a strength plateau is simply a case of lacking fresh strategic stimulus. In steps periodisation. Regular listeners may have heard me mention the word before. But today, I'll be discussing a kind of periodisation I have been training with called Phase Potentiation. This is a great approach for identity confused lifters who don't know if they want to be bodybuilders or powerlifters.

When you're a fitness product selling millions of shiny gimmicks a day, you've got a few things going for you. Lots of people talking about your product. Short term results intensifying word of mouth. And of course, a shit ton of money. But what about the individual? Today's episode discusses an inherent problem that screws us from the very starting line, when dealing with products that can never see you as a person with individual needs.

"How much protein should I be eating"? Is a question that endlessly permeates fitness culture. Something I find rather bizarre, as the answer has been plain and simple for a long time now. In today's episode, I give it to you straight and debunk a few myths surrounding protein so you can consume this building block of the body without a care in the world!

Today we discuss what holding yourself accountable to progression in the gym really looks like. What is progressive overload to you? We can't simply say "harder than last time" and expect results. Thing are more nuanced than this. Let's challenge the conventional idea of progressive overload because honestly... it sucks

Carbs have been defamed worse than Johnny Depp. Is there justification to this? Are they simply being scapegoated for a broader picture that happens to involve carbs leading to weight gain? Correlation is not the same as causation. Let's unpick this and get clear once and for all on carbs and whether they can help you or hinder you
