The Healthification Podcast

Todays show was inspired by a dear podcast listener. Big shout out to, Amanda. Thank you. Your insight shared in this instance, in relation to the labelling we slap on ourselves with regard to how we eat, got me thinking… In todays show I’m chatting a: Work In Progress. I often consider the notion of tipping point versus cold turkey. Is any big change the result ... READ MORE

Last week I shared the first 3 of 7 Myths About A Plant Based Diet. To recap: Myth #1: You’ll Get Sick …or Too Thin. Myth #2: You’ll Be Hungry. Myth #3: You’ll Miss Out On Vital Micronutrients. I have the final 4 such myths to bust for you today. Before we get rolling, I’m learning: A) I need to get super articulate, .. B) In the same way ... READ MORE

Last week I was chatting to a dear gym member who’s wife and daughters I train. He’s a charming old gentleman… generally, though he caught me somewhat by surprise when he exclaimed: “Dear girl, we’re all a bit worried about you!” “What do you mean I asked?” “Well, you’re getting too thin!” “I have changed my eating a fair bit recently – zero ...

Reflecting on todays encore episode has shown me just how much my eating has changed over the past couple of years. It’s a timely reminder of both the importance of doing what works for YOU at the time it works for you and also the value inconstant and never ending improvement. A couple of years ago I was very focused on macronutrients. So that’s Carbs, Proteins ... READ MORE

Although todays encore episode primarily focuses on the strategies I use daily to escape procrastination. I’ve also got a slightly different angle to share before we get rolling. Courtesy of an interview I heard with Rory Vaden, author of the book: Procrastinate on Purpose. The concept is to focus today on doing the things that will give you time tomorrow. So, as Rory puts it multiplying rather ... READ MORE

Before we get rolling with todays encore episode on your ideal fat burning day I want to borrow an acronym from show #059 on Your I.D.E.A.L. Training Plan.  By IDEAL I don’t mean perfect I mean; It’s Done Even After a Long day / Late Night / Lack of Sleep / Little sick or a Laziness attack. Nice one right? Here are a couple of considerations I find helpful in making your ... READ MORE

I was somewhat bemused during a recent trip to Melbourne when while weighing up brunch options the lady eager to serve me declared: “It’s Healthy.” She was referring to a salad that certainly was a better option than some filthy bacon and egg McMuffin. However I hadn’t stumbled through the golden arches. I’d purposefully sought out the healthiest looking fresh food joint around. And the salad in question was seriously lacking in green ...

Last week one of the boys at the gym questioned the third (reusable!) glass of coffee in my hand. He knew I’d been proud of the my recently hard fought for only 2 coffees a day habit. I replied slightly guiltily: “Yeah dude, I’ve completely lost the plot – I’m outta control!” As he pointed out, if coffee is your worse addiction – I think you’re probably doing ok. ... READ MORE

As I write the intro for todays encore episode I’m reflecting on the huge pressure we heedlessly heap on ourselves. Certainly self imposed pressure might flourish as a result of all the access we now have to everyone else’s success. Their highlight-reel-happiness – more on that soon. I first want to provide a couple of caveats before we get rolling… One: Quitting rocks when you’re giving up on something that doesn’t ... READ MORE

Today’s show is another take on one of my fav positivity hacks. The reframe.  Today let’s chat about: Turning Adversity Into Your Advantage. I’m gong to tackle this subject in 3 parts. The Little Daily potential Drag You Down. The Medium potential Put You On Pause. The Large potential Destroy You. Now that’s a lil bit of a doom and gloom start – however you know I’ll ... READ MORE
