For decades we were told to eat a certain way — follow the food pyramid, fear fat, load up on carbs, choose “low-fat” everything and trust that government nutrition guidelines had our best interests at heart.

But what if that entire system was built on industry lobbying, faulty science, and marketing, not health?

In this episode, I break down how the 90s food pyramid shaped a whole generation’s eating habits — and why it left millions of people overweight, confused and blaming themselves for something that was never their fault.

You’ll hear:

• How cereals, seed oils and sugar-heavy “health foods” became normal

• Why obesity and diabetes exploded right after we followed that advice

• Why you’re not struggling because of “willpower” — you were conditioned to fail

• Real client stories showing how fast your body can change once you stop eating the way you were told to

• Simple steps to start unlearning the food rules that made you sick in the first place

If you’ve ever wondered why losing weight feels harder than it should… this episode will finally make it make sense.

You’ve been told for years that fat makes you fat and clogs your arteries — but what if that’s completely wrong?

In this episode, Adam Barski PT breaks down the truth about low-fat diets, cholesterol, and why your body actually needs healthy fats to thrive. From hormone health and brain function to heart protection and fat loss, this one flips decades of bad nutrition advice on its head.

Learn how full-fat foods like Greek yoghurt, butter, and olive oil can support your energy, metabolism, and long-term health — especially for women over 40.

In this episode, I’m talking about one of the most underrated, under-appreciated, and under-used fat loss tools on the planet: walking.

Yep — good old-fashioned, trainers-on, out-the-door walking.

Forget burpees, spin bikes and starvation diets — walking is one of the most powerful things you can do for fat loss, stress relief, and overall health. In this episode I break down:

• Why walking is your secret weapon for sustainable fat loss
• The science behind how walking helps you burn fat more efficiently
• Why it beats most forms of cardio for long-term results
• How walking helps balance hormones, reduce cravings, and lower stress
• The surprising health benefits (for your heart, brain, sleep, and joints)
• And how a few simple walks a week can completely change your energy, mindset, and results

It’s a mix of science, analogies, and a few laughs along the way — the perfect listen while you’re actually out walking.
