I'm joined by a disgustingly educated and hilariously funny woman in Michelle Carroll. Michelle is currently doing a Phd in clinical psychology and body image and so in this episode we tried to explore the main themes of disordered eating, how coaches can avoid encouraging it in clients, how you can work on helping your clients body image and all the ways the fitness gets body positivity and positive body image wrong.

A little different to our usual topic this week as I interview my client, friend and respected researcher Dr Alice Paine. Alice is an earth scientist who studies climate change using different materials to reconstruct the earths past climates & extreme events to try answer questions about the future of the planet.

She talks about her unusual route into the world of research and earth science.

We discussed how volcanoes can impact the climate, WHY THE SKY IS BLUE, we discuss ice ages & using materials to predict what happened MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO. 

We also give insight into how you can become more of a critical thinker when reading ANY research, how to learn more about climate change and some nuggets of info on how to spot misinformation - whether it's nutrition science or earth science.

Hope you enjoy this episode as a break from heavy nutrition and me swearing!

In this episode myself and Sophia who is also a nutritionist chat about the fad diets that we have fallen victim to ourselves in the past, when we both struggled with disordered eating.

And then we delve into misinformation & extreme advice in the nutrition world right now. Explaining to you why it’s so tough, because basically you can find research to back up pretty much anything & everything.

We speak about menopause, cortisol belly, hormone hacking, why the fuck so many ‘wellness’ coaches just pray on vulnerable women to make money

We also explain why your belly fat probably isn’t the problem, discuss food accessibility, processed foods & affordability alongside fitness influencer privilege.

We finish up with 2 of our favourite topics, men on podcasts, not all men on podcasts, but huge platforms spreading wild clickbait claims that are probs irrelevant for you,

Andddd the Glucose Goddess

This episode is so full of so much quality & mic drop moments, that we are already planning the next!

Please share with anyone who you think needs our realistic, yet compassionate honest advice and also send any questions our way for the next episode.

Any questions drop them to myself or Sophia!

This week we have a guest appearance from Rick and a spoiler episode from F*cking around, finding out podcast. Disclaimer: I threw us off at the end of the podcast so apologies for the weird abrupt end but try and go with it.

We chat about why Ricks diet is so sh*t. But why he is still healthier than most. We talk about whether you can "out train a bad diet" and a general life up update about what we've been up to since we last recorded together in 2023!

Rick didn't want me to share this episode because I threw him off after some technical difficulties. So let's all tell him how good an episode it was! 

You can check out the rest of our episodes by search 'Fucking Around Finding Out' Podcast. 

As always, any questions send us a DM and give us a share if you enjoyed it!

Sky (and a pissed off Richard)

Coritsol is HOT on the press right now. But is cortisol to blame for all our issues and should we be looking to reduce cortisol itself?

We discuss this and more:
- What cortisol is and does in the body
- What elevated cortisol might look like and when it might occur
- How stress impacts
- Ways to reduce stress

This episode starts with a little update from me so if you want to skip ahead then go to 13:00 minutes!
