  • Episode 26: 'SkinnyJab' - Friend or foe for fat loss?
    This is episode is on quite a controversial topic but one that I wanted to cover from both angles as a certified personal trainer, however please note this is purely based on my opinion and I am NOT a qualifies dietician or nutritionist.
    SkinnyJab is reported to help people lose weight by way of daily injections alongside a specific nutritional diet and workout protocol. 
    I discuss what the drug is, how it works and why some-one would use it, what its efficacy is along with side effects and also the cost.
    Personally I believe that a healthy diet coupled with cardio exercise and strength training is the most sustainable way to achieve health, wellness and longevity.
    In summary 'losing weight in the correct manner and at a suitable pace will ultimately mean it will stay off in the long run'.

  • Episode 22: Discussing the (joys!) of menopause and how Susan Hall helps her clients navigate through the biological process.

    On Episode 22 I'm delighted to be joined by UKBFF North Masters Bikini 2016 winner and Personal Trainer Susan Hall. She runs her online Fitness business to help ladies going the stages of perimenopause and menopause build self esteem, gain confidence without spending hours in the gym.

    We delve into the symptoms of the menopause; how hormone levels (including stress) can affect weight-loss; why a blood test diagnosis is not an accurate measure to ascertain if women are going through the change and why they can feel quite alone going through the process.

    We talk about how combining an holistic approach with mindset, relaxation techniques and personal development are great ways to help ladies navigate through the sometimes unpleasant side effects of the 'dreaded change'.

  • Episode 21: Finding your reason why and how to cultivate confidence
    Many of the clients I work with on initial consultation say that they either want to lose weight and or improve their body composition. It is only when I ask more questions do I uncover the real reason...their deep rooted ‘Why’ which is generally fuelled by wanting to feel more confident. It is all too common to attribute confidence to body image (and whilst it definitely is a good incentive to get fit), there are other ways to cultivate inner confidence that can be done straight away to the process. This episode was inspired by a Facebook memory post so I hope it provides some useful tips to help you cultivate your inner confidence.

  • Episode 19: There’s no diet to prevent Coronavirus
    The British Dietetic Association recently published a statement
    Simply put, you cannot “boost” your immune system through diet, and no specific food or supplement will prevent you catching COVID-19 / Coronavirus. Good hygiene practice remains the best means of avoiding infection.”
    In this solo episode I talk about why it's important to stick to a healthy lifestyle and how it's not just about nutrition but understanding the 4 pillars of health and ensuring equal balance across all four - Sleep, Exercise, Nutrition and Relaxation.
    So whilst there's no official vaccine against the Corona Virus to provide immunity, we can still work on improving ourselves more and more each day to put our bodies in the best situation for optimal health.
    Moving onto an often overlooked topic of gut health and if this is unbalanced it could be inhibiting your progress again both physically and mentally. Why we should be eating a wide range of whole plant based foods and the benefits it will give our body from the myriad of nutrients, minerals and vitamins and what they do.
    Please note that I am not a qualified dietician or nutritionist, this podcast is based purely on my research and opinion.
    Thanks for listening :)
