In this extremely informative episode we talk about digestive health and everything GI related. Many people experience some kind of digestive issues over the course of their life. From IBS to SIBO to just plain bloating, digestive health affects a lot of our lives and can be a confusing journey to navigate. Kate Scarlata, MPH, RDN specialises in the treatment of these as well as the low FODMAP diet, and is passionate about educating people around this. This episode explains things in a really digestible way (couldn’t resist), and cuts through much of the confusion around the above.

Volume, progressive overload, and understanding the mechanisms of what grows muscle is confusing.

Throw broscience, women's health magazines and our new years resolutions of both running an ultra marathon and entering a powerlifting meet into the mix and you find yourself in bit of pickle.

This podcast spans over a wide range of physiology and hypertrophy fundamentals, deals with some of the practical issues related to training stressors, and really helps you understand how adaptation occurs.

If only there were a guidebook to navigating the human experience. But there isn't. Our minds are complex things, and looking after your mental health encompasses a wide range of things. Many of these things are in fact linked, and this episode touches on a range of them.

It's a lovely foundation from which to understand some of the components, deal practically with them, and help you set forth on some helpful paths as you optimise them.

From stress vs anxiety, practical ways to deal with them, tips to set good goals, some of the science behind behaviour change all the way to mastering your habits, this episode is loaded with info and tips! 

It is easy to over complicate things when you’re just starting out. Jordan keeps it simple and says it how it is. Having had quite an interesting health and fitness journey himself (deadlifting 4X his bodyweight, becoming a coach and now sharing all kinds of informative content online), he combines info with compassion, humour and refreshing clarity, and this makes him much loved by many.

Add a salad, go for a walk, and be consistent. Seemingly obvious tips but just some of the valuable practical takeaways from this episode that is perfect for anyone wanting a broad overview and a balanced perspective.
