In a society where we spend most of our time sitting and hunched over most of the day, if its over your food, your phone, your steering wheel, or your computer, and in a world where everyone is trying to get fitter and healthier, we are more and more prone to injuries. We brought our special guest Caryn Stretton, a Harvard graduate in physiotherapy to discuss why people are getting more and more injuries and what we can do to avoid these situations and better deal with it. Join us in today's episode where we discuss the most common injuries in her practice, advice on what to look out for and how to handle them.

The new Netflix Documentary "Game Changers" has hit the scene with a lot of controversy. Many are making a change to veganism out of fear from the data that was presented to them. Is it really all that it seems? have we been lied to all this time? Join us with our guest speaker Melissa Bosch as we discuss some of the findings that were presented and why you might want to think twice before accepting this documentary at face value. We discuss how the pros and cons of being a vegan and help you with scientific based evidence, if this move will be the right choice for you.

Jarryd Smith, a motivational speaker who grew up being addicted to drugs and living on the streets, to flipping his life 180 degrees and helping others. Founder of Second Chance Trust.

Second Chance Trust is a public benefit organisation that educates young people on the dangers of alcohol and substance abuse and empowers them with knowledge and skills to make healthy life choices. It also facilitates interventions that promote healing and growth in victims of social issues such as rape, HIV, abuse and gangsterism - which are very often associated directly or indirectly with drug and alcohol abuse.

The Trust was founded by Jarryd Smith who has lived through, survived and overcome chronic addiction. In addition to his role as founder and Program Director, Jarryd is the author of a highly acclaimed autobiography entitled 180º Had to die. To live. This hard hitting autobiography is a brutally honest account of his downward spiral into the sordid world of hard core drugs and his excruciatingly painful journey back to a healthy and productive life.

In today's episode, we decided to go into the mind rather than the body, as to what makes a person who they are. We discuss the basic principles of the Id, Ego and superego, and how they all interact with each other to create you. Join us as we break down the human psyche and hopefully give you some insight as to why you might behave or react in certain way when presented with a situation.

Probably one of the worst thing that can happen when you are on role in your fitness journey is receiving an injury. All that hard work being set back by a simple ankle twist or a pulled muscle. Even just 2 weeks of rest can set you back on your hard work. Some have continuous problems for months after. So in today's episode we discuss some of the practices that you can implement in your routine to avoid getting injured while exercising.
