This is a CRACKER of an episode!

Join me as I chat to Dr Ed Pooley, GP.....

Ed works as an NHS GP with an interest in the interface between psychology and health. Prior to medical school he was a researcher in molecular biology, neuropathology and behavioural genetics.

When not working in primary care, Ed works as a communications consultant training doctors and healthcare teams to communicate more effectively with each other and with their patients (if you work in the medical profession you can buy Ed's book here) - and all that experience certainly made for an interesting conversation!

We talk about the complexities of fat loss, body image and the influence of social media, bariatric surgery and the options for overweight people on the NHS, and even Slimming F*cking World gets a mention!

If you believe that the answer to obesity is 'eat less, move more' then you might wanna open your ears (and your mind), to listen to this.

This is an EPIC episode where I chat to my favourite Canadian, Kristen Ingraham Morgan.

Passionate coach, owner of LN CrossFit in Lincoln, previous Food Ninja client, founder of the Strong Girls Squad and wearer of many fitness-related hats.

We cover her journey to better balance, and therefore better health, the dangers of 'popular' nutrition programmes in the fitness industry, and why ethical coaching, with the person's whole health as the main consideration, should be the ONLY choice.

We also find out how a conversation with one of her members made Kristen go full Liam Neesom and set up the Strong Girl Squad, to help the next generation of girls to define and create their own version of healthy.
