In today’s episode we return to the subject of nutrition and hone in on one of the most hyped of the macronutrients; protein! It is undeniable that protein has never been more popular, while carbs and fats are still widely demonised. Lured by its multifaceted benefits including appetite regulation and weight loss, muscle growth and muscle mass preservation, most of us know we should be prioritising it in our diet. However, with the hype comes the avalanche of conflicting messages of how much we should be consuming and what food sources are best.  For many, it has become just another nutrition headache and something else we feel we’re “getting wrong”.  But we’re here to reassure you it needn’t be that complex! 

As always, we welcome your questions, feedback and requests for future topics. Just drop us a line.

If there’s a topic that gets us really fired up it’s this one: the wonder that is Resistance Training!  We’ve touched on its virtues in previous episodes but today we deliver an easy to digest ‘how to’ guide for those who want to incorporate resistance training into their fitness regime but don’t know where to start.  With a multitude of potential protocols and methods out there, it can be confusing and overwhelming so our mission is to provide the what, why, when and how of resistance training. 

You’ll hear more about it’s abundant benefits, the importance of prioritising technique, the key movement patterns to build in, and other aspects of the FITT principle (frequency, intensity, type and time). 

Please enjoy and do send us any follow-up questions or feedback!

In this, the fitness and nutrition Podcast the celebrates all things wonderfully imperfect in the pursuit of long term, lasting progress, we take our first dive into the realms of mentality and mindset.  Far beyond calorie counting, macro splits and workout structures, the mindset we apply in the pursuit of our health goals is fundamental and the reason so many of us trip ourselves up.  And, you’ve guessed it, it was the missing piece of the puzzle for us both for far too long!  We discuss the pitfalls of the ‘all or nothing’, dichotomous mindset, why doing more isn’t always better and how patience is the most under utilised tool in the tool box.

It’s a topic we could discuss endlessly so make yourself comfortable and enjoy!
