This episode summarises the talk delivered at this weekend's mac nutrition live conference by Dr Nicola Guess on Personalised nutrition.

I discuss what it actually is and share the research on its efficacy.

If you've done Zoe or you've considered this, or another company's personal nutrition, this episode is worth listening to.

In this episode I explain why I coach the way I do and how it its the furthest thing away from what people expect from a nutritionist.

This is worth a listen if you have tried every diet under the sun but are still no nearer your goals, or you spend your life thinking if you could just get better discipline you would crack it. You won't!

If you want to understand the methods we know work and start being kinder and more understanding of yourself, this could be the episode for you, or I could be the coach for you!

I regularly hear this from people. They see that eating protein is important but they don't really know much beyond it helps grow muscle'.

So in this episode I give you a brief explanation as to why it is such an important part of our diet in the hope it gives you a bit more of a reason to start making sure it features throughout your entire day.

In this episode I explore the very commonly heard phrase "nothing has changed but I'm gaining weight" or "I'm not doing anything differently" ... but you probably are. Its just so subtle you don't acknowledge it.

I look at what these things might be just to make you have a closer look and also to reassure you that you have the power to control this, you are not 'doomed'!

People will more commonly hear me talk about 'what you are going to get shit at, but it doesn't make a great podcast title!

In this episode I explore how just adding more things into an already chaotic life, doesn't usually have a great success rate and that picking what behaviours need bumping off to make room is far more viable and rewarding.

If you are someone who knows what you should be doing but never seems to do it, this is the episode for you.

In this episode I share my thoughts after a lightbulb moment at a personal growth masterclass last week, on how to get perspective on if you are aligning your behaviours with you goals.

This is the episode for you if you are constantly saying 'I know what I need to do, I just don't seem to be able to do it'. and boy do I hear that one a lot!

In this episode I explore how normalised sitting in a chair for 8 hours a day has become and how detrimental this is to both our physical and mental health.

It is not how it is supposed to be and a species we are paying the price!

I explore how the impact we see from throwing in a few tiny bursts of movement throughout the day versus staying sedentary in terms of our health outcomes and the impact this has when weight loss is a goal.

In this episode I explain appetite dissonance which I see so commonly in new clients. It's when we are so conditioned to trying to eat 'as little as possible' that we go through the day surviving on (usually) diet snacks and caffeinated drinks, and as a result completely dysregulate our hunger signalling so we don't actually know if we are hungry of full anymore.

I explore what is actually happening and how we go about fixing it.

In this episode I answer the a client check in question:

'What sort of techniques would you try for a person who has a very low opinion of themselves and always seems to put themselves second. How would you getting them to put themselves first and make them aware it is important to take care of yourself'

In this episode I sit down and reflect upon the marathon Sky and I ran as first time marathon runners.

We discuss her 'F**k it and find out' approach to events and trying out new things in general, and where she goes to mentally when competing.

There is nothing formal about this episode. Just two mates - where ne always does slightly better than the other!!!
