Wired AF Podcast

Where did diet culture begin? What is your resting metabolic rate and how do diets affect this? How does the yo-yo dieting cycle start? What are the consequences of following restrictive diets? How does physical activity affect your metabolic rate? At Wired AF we aim to promote eating nutritious foods and forming sustainable eating habits, as well engaging in regular physical activity so that you can achieve optimal health.

Led by qualified nutritionist Brandon, we talk about what nutrition for health looks like and why it is so important. We also delve into rejecting diets, and how aiming to build a good relationship with food can help you form good eating habits. We also discuss what nutritious foods to include in your diet and the role of protein, carbohydrates and fats.

What does your pain mean? How can you prevent injuries? What should you do if you get injured? What can an Allied Health Professional do to help you manage your injuries? These are all important things that we talk about in this episode about injury management.

We talk about the difference between burnout and over-training and the different states of over-training. We also discuss how to recognise if you are over-training, what can contribute to it and what to do about it. Finally we discuss recovery strategies you can incorporate to prevent future over-training episodes from occurring. 

In this episode we talk about SMART goals, and how to be realistic with your goal setting. We provide examples relevant to improving muscle strength and losing body weight, as well as talking about how to stay motivated to achieve your goals.
