The Reach Your Peak Experience (A Sports Nutrition Podcast)

In recent months the World Health Organisation has come out with two seperate statements regarding the consumption of non sugar sweeteners as they relate to health outcomes.

One statement was about the use of alternative sweeteners for chronic disease management and weight loss. They suggested that they should not be used for these purposes.

The most recent announcement was a major talking point in the nutrition space and caused alot of buzz (negative buzz that is). This was in relation to the WHO’s statement that Aspartame was to be classified as “possibly Carcinogenic”. 

It is no surprise when a major health organization comes out with statements such as this (especially when so many people have preconceived notions on what is and isn’t true when it comes to nutrition) that it gets the emotions high and the fear factor machine running.

Is this all true?!?!

Well, the evidence doesn’t care about individual biases and misinformation. We need to approach this through the lens of “what does the research ACTAULLY say”. 

In this episode, I explore the recent WHO claim on aspartame and cancer from the perspective of a Dietitian and Nutritionist and decipher the evidence so that you are more informed and know the actual truth.

Milo....but make it protein-esque. 

Recently a new product was released: Milo Pro. The new high protein version for health-conscious people/fitness/fat loss goal-ers. 

It is hard to look anywhere these days without seeing a protein version of something and Milo followed in these footsteps. The fact is that companies know the hype around protein and know people will buy high-protein versions of food.

This means we have to be vigilant to make sure the products we buy are actually backed by the claims and potentially beneficial for our own individual goals. 

So protein milo…Is it worth the bucks or is it marketing trickery catching you again? 

Let's explore.

In this episode, I discuss:

• The Milo Pro nutritional breakdown and cost-effectiveness
• Comparison and Verdict: Milo Pro vs. Milo
• Nutrition Marketing Messages (why you need to know the game!)

Hope you enjoy!

Which Creatine should YOU take if you are to take one?

As a Sports Dietitian and Nutritionist, I can help answer this for you once and for all. The answer is quite simple…

Could it be that the humble potatoes' most popular form is linked to poor mental health outcomes?

In recent months there have emerged some new claims about fries that would make a potato lover and flexible dieter feel disappointed. New research has claimed that fries have been linked to an increased risk of depression and anxiety in consumers.

How true is this though?
Are fries a food to avoid?
How do these claims hold up to logic and scrutiny?

I wanted to explore this further and separate fact from myth so that I can tell you the truth behind the tasty fry!

So are fries actually bad for mental health or do we need to look at this from a different angle and consider the bigger picture? 

In this episode, I discuss:

• French fries/hot chips = depression? (exploring the claims)
• Deciphering the facts (do fries have a negative impact on mental health despite bringing joy eating them?)
• Are fries truly linked to depression and anxiety in dieters? (answering the question from a Dietitian’s perspective)

Hope you enjoy!

What determines this is of course the advice you choose to follow, the way you approach your nutrition, your mindset/mentality around goal achievement and dieting, and of course your individual circumstances that could be making or breaking your efforts.

Luckily there are some common signs of poor dieting that you can look out for to make sure you aren’t making these mistakes and following a “sh*tty diet’.

In this episode, I share:

• The 6 signs of sh#*ty dieting revealed!
• How to improve your nutrition efforts
