Team FU discuss all ultra-processed foods inline with the latest media headlines and the claims they are linked to disease and increased mortality risk. Is there any truth in these claims? What about the socioeconomic considerations that make these foods more accessible? Is food environment to blame? 

"Ultra-processed" by it's classification can be potentially problematic especially when many of the foods we are encouraged to consume more of are also "processed".

On this episode of Fitness Unfiltered, the team debrief on our experience at Bodypower 2019, where we did some speaking, some hanging out, and MUCH MORE. We also got to spend a whole weekend together IRL (in real life) which was a rare treat, during which we discovered that Dan is still the nicest man in the world, Emma hates wearing shoes, and Mike is unable to tolerate anything that takes place between getting the food bill and being asleep.

In this episode team FU delve into to the health considerations and implications beyond macronutrient and calorie counting. 

It's undeniable that for many losing weight alone can improve health markers, but what about beyond that and whether or not weight loss then becomes problematic with individuals excluding vital nutrients known to contribute to health? Are you eliminating important nutrients to hit calorie and macro targets?

The team also touch on the socioeconomic factors which leads to a VERY interesting future episode with another super guest.

In this Episode of Fitness Unfiltered, the team welcome back Jordan Peters for part two of our interview. In this episode Jordan talks candidly about his relationship with his partner Corinne, who is also his business partner and now his coach, and the lengths that they have gone to in order to sustain all the different facets of this relationship. He discusses his training style, fundamentals vs minutiae and the effort vs workload. He also explains the important differences in training professional bodybuilders and Dr Mike (we were as as surprised as anyone), and he also discusses how anabolic steroids work, as well as touching on how they are discussed on social media, harm reduction and how he balances his own extreme aspirations with the associated long term health concerns. Dr Mike also breaks the record for the longest question asked in any podcast in world history, almost breaking the mythical 2 minute barrier.
