The Healthification Podcast

There’s a popular thread in a paid forum I’m part of right now titled: Is Social Media Evil? Of course the emotive title was well chosen to provoke discussion… which it certainly has. It got me thinking. Can you remember the last time you saw, read, heard something inspirational and immediately took action? Not just so far as social media. However we’ll use ... READ MORE

Today’s podcast is inspired (and I use that term loosely!) by a client who regularly struggles with Monday-i-tis. Each Monday as he drags himself into the gym he announces “It’s a blue Monday” which I don’t know exactly the meaning of however I’m pretty sure it doesn’t mean he’s focusing of any of the 3 key questions I’m going to frame todays show around. It’s my belief that Monday ... READ MORE

A couple of years ago the very click baitie headline How Cutting Carbs To Lose Weight Can Kill You circulated online. It is of course sensationalist rubbish. In fact if you were to believe the multitude of food & beverage warnings you’d find that we each narrowly escape death daily! The big food companies would have you believe their processed crap-o-la is the only way to ... READ MORE

Do you ever feel like you’re behind on life? Not quite where you thought you might – could – should be by now? Perhaps even far from it? It’s a conversation I’ve been having of late especially on my recent long weekend to the city I grew up, Wellington N.Z. Personally it’s a resounding Yes and if you can relate the comforting news for us ... READ MORE

I’m writing this mid flight on my way home from a super fab long weekend in Wellington, N.Z. visiting a dear friend from school days. I also met her gorgeous lil almost four year old girl for the first time. If you’ve spent any time with a youngster you’ll know today’s show on: Question Everything, is feeling especially timely. To ... READ MORE

Have you ever met someone who is naturally, effortlessly exceptional? As I study the people who most inspire me I’m noticing that rather than having unique ability they consciously make decisions and take steps that lead to exceptional. With that in mind, today let’s cover in 9 steps acronym style (and from the angle of Body Gain of course): How To Be The E.X.C.E.P.T.I.O.N. E.verything Counts. ... READ MORE

Before I power on with todays show on: Ethical Eating, I have a story to share. It illustrates the importance of context and also how easy it can be to judge and perhaps to judge unfairly. I was recently infuriated to hear of comedian Joe Rogan’s new found zest for hunting. At face value hunting strikes me as a sick, cruel, repulsive way to ... READ MORE

This morning a dear client asked me: “What would you do if you wanted to lose 2 kilos fast?” Now, to set the scene this is a client who is in fantastic shape. She’s very consistent with her exercise and food and has the results to show for her commitment and focus. However, she’d still like to lose a couple of ... READ MORE

Last week I devoted a couple of shows to High Protein Low Carb Vegetarian or put another way: my day on a plate.  And since then something’s been eating at me. I finished the 347 show with “close enough is good enough” so far as my potentially low iron intake. It’s true, monitoring micro-nutrients is a little tedious. It’s up there with calorie counting – firmly on my list of: ... READ MORE

I have an admission to make and if you’re of the impression that I’m a super disciplined person you’re in for a shock! Last night at exactly 2am – a mere 3 hours and 51 minutes after I put myself to bed – I woke up feeling decidedly rubbish. All self inflicted so no sympathy needed. I’d caught up with a mate I hadn’t ... READ MORE
