Todays episode of the podcast goes back to the basics on energy balance and the laws of thermodynamics. I tried to keep it short, sweet and informative. Its a principle that we should all be aware of due to its importance in the picture of overall health and of course body composition and performance. The basic knowledge you need no matter the goal. Without an understanding of energy balance your making life hard for no reason.

Todays episode is with Hannah and Rachel Healy founders of Yoga Mara. The topic of todays discussion is meditation. Hannah and Rachel delve into how to start, different methods of meditation, how to use meditation to manage stress, improve sleep and recovery for gymgoers and how to use meditation for enhanced focus, improved confidence and clarity in life. If you think meditation is just sitting on the floor trying to calm your mind think again! Like anything meditation is individual and can be achieved in many ways

In todays episode of the podcast I'm delighted to be joined by online trainer, podcaster and writer Paul Dermody. A mentor of mine and a self proclaimed self betterment junkie this is an amazing episode where Paul talks about the difference between principles and methods, the significance of this distinction and the importance of self identity in pursuit of goals and in the overall picture of life. A man who embodies his philosophies in both life and how he helps others and lives life on his own terms I thoroughly enjoyed learning from Paul!
