Maintaining a healthy mind, both in function and how you regulate mood, is an important part of the journey towards your best self

The COVID 19 pandemic has unfortunately led to an unprecedented rise in mental health issues. Social isolation, anxiety, stress, depression and many other mental health related issues are now becoming extremely common in the general population and it’s like a wave of mental health issues has crashed upon health services across the world

Focusing on developing or maintaining a healthy lifestyle can protect your brain and mental wellbeing.

We're going to cover what changes you can make to your diet so that it supports your mental health and overall wellbeing.

The point of pre and intra workout nutrition (in this instance referring to within sixty minutes of training) should be geared towards providing a readily available source of energy. Typically, this will be a source of readily digestible carbohydrate although, for those who are metabolically adapted and or incorporate specific supplements / nutrients, fat can also be a viable option in some cases.

Part 1 - What fuel are we actually talking about when it comes to exercise?

Part 2 - The benefits of fuelling before and during exercise

Part 3 - Practically fuelling yourself; food sources and supplementation

In this episode I'll be discussing the misconception surrounding a perfect diet and why there really isn’t (and couldn’t) be a way of dieting that would work universally.

I'll be discussing, what does “perfect” mean and the error of that in the context of a diet, what is the best approach to dieting we know of and how you can build a perfect diet just for you.

Part 1 - Liz’s story and her most important lessons along the way

Part 2 - Liz’s advice for women looking to ditch the fad diet / extreme diet mentality coming into the New Year and how to start your journey off the right way

Fuel Good, Feel Good is an approach to how you live your life.

It’s not just about the food you eat but it’s everything that you take in and consume.

It’s not just what you take in or let in but also who and why.

It’s an approach to health that expands to the content you’re consuming, the exercise you’re engaging in, the food that you’re eating, the fluids you’re drinking, the company you’re keeping, the sleep you’re achieving, the stress that you’re managing and the beliefs that you’re reinforcing.

It’s a means of being for how to fill yourself with all of life’s elements with the intention and result of living a good life.

That doesn’t necessarily mean to be continually in some state of bliss or happiness, as that in of itself may not indicate a “good” life, but rather to be someone who takes care of themselves and takes responsibility for themselves. 

Someone who can then look to do more for others, closely and in their greater community. 

A person who doesn’t proclaim to be an example but simply is by the actions they take.

To fuel good and feel good is simply to be someone who lives their life in a way that empowers both themselves and others to take responsibility and care for themselves. 

It is a means of living within your circumstances to the best of your ability and to not run but rather face the difficulties in life capably and competently.

Fuel good, feel good is the celebration of the potential of the individual to be independent, responsible, powerful, just and to take care of others. 

To fuel good and feel good is to live a life of health and happiness across all domains.

Welcome to the podcast; I'd love any and all feedback so that I can continue to improve the experience for you!
