Macabolic Podcast

In episode 3 of this ‘simple series’, I discuss the importance of social occasions and social health. What I recommend NOT doing, and what to do instead if you want to support positive social health whilst concurrently not interfering with your healthy eating aspirations (weight loss included). The approach involves ‘living in the grey’ and finding your ‘social sweet spot’ that provides the best of both worlds. The process of working towards this includes a pre-social-occasion contemplating, and self-reflection after. 

DM’s are welcome of course. @mackenziebaker_ on Instagram

For episode 2 of the 'simple series', I discuss a basic checklist to consider if you're experiencing frequent gut upset or discomfort. It's a list of simple things to consider before you fork out big $$ on supplements, a naturopath, or start culling entire food groups from your diet. 

As always, questions, and further discussion is welcome. Shoot me a DM on Insta @mackenziebaker_

In episode 1 of the new 'simple series', I cover supplements. What, why, often unspoken cons/risks, and an evidence-based line of questioning to assess whether YOU should take a given supplement or not.

In Episode 88 of the Macabolic Podcast, I was joined by Shannon Beer and James Walsham to discuss whether body image issues and disordered eating is indeed prevalent male issue too (not just female).

We discuss what it is to "be a man" and how hard it can be for any male who feels like they fall short of this "alpha dude". 

We also discuss why it's especially difficult for males to speak up, be open and seek help from others in this context. 

James and I largely provided our own personal experience, whilst Shannon provided more of a research-theory-type perspective.

Do males suffer from eating disorders and body image struggles?

Why do males counter barriers to express their struggles and seek support? Nick is an online CrossFit coach and endurance exercise enthusiast who’s experienced the dark side of training and eating for appearance motives.

EPISODE 86 OF THE MACABOLIC PODCAST WITH RICKY DANN IS LIVE.

Ricky went from being an avid consumer of ‘self-help’ content who just spoke about all his great ideas without taking action. To a guy who goes out of his way to challenge himself.

It all started with Ricky completing an Iron Man. Now Ricky is doing a PhD, and running an action sports nutrition company.

Dr Olly is a great example of how you can overcome personal perceived limitations by finding something you truly believe in, sticking to your guns, and giving it a RED HOT CRACK.

It was this that took Dr Olly from being a high school failure to a pioneer in surfing academia, and now an industry leader in strength and conditioning for board sports.

In episode 84 of the Macabolic Podcast I was lucky enough to be joined by Corinne Wooden (@corinnewooden ) to discuss her journey through bodybuilding, doing a PhD, and powerlifting, and how each phase affected her values, relationship with food, body image and more.

We also discuss what Corinne has learned throughout her experiences and how important it is to ensure any goals you might have, will actually enhance your life.

In episode 83 of the Macabolic Podcast I was joined by Josh Smith who is the founder of Fortitude Nutrition Coaching and Hero Nutrition Mentoring to discuss why the “tough love” coaching approach where clients are shamed, and belittled for non-adherence and slips ups… Is bad for results, bad for business and an indication of flaws in the coaches ability… not the clients lack of discipline and motivation.

EP 82. Alex Rodriguez - Is dieting just a recipe for an eating disorder?

In episode 82 of the Macabolic Podcast I was lucky enough to be joined by @arod_nutritional for a chat about the link between wanting to change your body through nutrition and disordered eating risk.

Is fat loss and dieting simply a recipe for an eating disorder, or is there more to it?

Does the anti-diet movement have any valid points?

How can you weigh up whether a fat loss goal will actually enhance your life?

How might you reduce the risk of disordered tendencies if you want to achieve fat loss?

And plenty more.

A great episode, with a great man.

Give it a listen and give the great man @arod_nutritional a follow.
