In this episode, I'm digging deep into the carnivore diet, highlighting the potential benefits, including increased energy, mental clarity, weight loss, and improved health. I share personal anecdotes, offer insights into how the carnivore diet affects blood sugar levels, satiety, and help tackle inflammation and autoimmune issues. I explore the nutritional richness of animal products, emphasizing the role of eggs, dairy, and high-protein foods. You've heard all the noise about red meat being bad for us; I'll be challenging those observational studies and highlighting the difference between red meat and the processed stuff, it's time to set the record straight. The carnivore diet simplifies life and nourishes the body. You can basically ditch the veggies, the processed foods; it's not some fad diet. It's a throwback to our caveman ancestors, a diet they thrived on for millions of years. It's about creating an environment where your body can heal and thrive.

Each week, we're diving headfirst into the absolute circus that is healthy eating—fad diets, myths, and all the fitness nonsense. I'm here to cut through the crap, no sugarcoating, maybe a bit of oversharing, and, unfortunately, the odd bad pun.

This week, we're turning our attention to caffeine – the unsung hero of productivity. From its ancient roots to the current madness of energy drinks, we'll dive into the caffeinated rabbit hole – discussing its effects, its history and exploring how this stimulant shapes our daily lives. I'll be looking at the world of energy drinks, their history, the origins of tea and the legendary discovery of coffee by Kaldi's energetic goats. I'll explore the health benefits of moderate caffeine intake, discussing improved mood, upgraded cognitive function and potential protection against strokes and dementia. Addressing the ever-asked question of whether caffeine can replace sleep, navigating the dosage game, caffeine's diuretic effects and the importance of staying hydrated. At the end of the day, we're all adults making choices. Caffeine can be part of a healthy diet, but too much might mess with your health. It's about moderation and making informed decisions.

This week, I'm navigating the topic of ADHD. This is a kinda through the looking glass type episode. I'll be tackling the stigma that ADHD is just a code word for "naughty children." I shed light on the tendency of society to oversimplify, slapping labels on individuals and overlooking the diversity under the neuro-divergent umbrella. I'll be addressing the prevalence of ADHD in women, delving into the concept of masking, and emphasising the critical role of sleep quality. Throughout the episode, I share personal strategies, ranging from the 'body doubling' concept to offering guidance, recounting experiences, and dispelling common myths associated with ADHD. Additionally, I'll discuss positive role models who have helped me understand and emphasise the importance of exercise in managing ADHD. Join me on this rollercoaster ride, where I explore Dubbii, delve into ASMR sleep hacks, and unravel the mysteries surrounding ADHD. This episode serves as an invitation to understand and embrace differences—a journey into neurodivergence.

In this episode, I'm tackling 11 of Google's most frequently asked fitness and nutrition questions. Offering some clarity and some much needed practical advice to enhance your fitness journey. Explaining the difference between prebiotics and probiotics, I debunk the myth that constipation causes weight gain, attributing any increase to water and stubborn stool, not fat. Detoxing? Save your time and money. Your body's a powerhouse; it knows how to clean house. Addressing fresh versus frozen produce, to the accuracy of fitness watches, they are good for heart rate and steps, but take those calorie burn readings with a grain of protein powder. Belly fat? No shortcuts, no spot reduction. It's an army of changes - resistance training, a solid diet, and plenty of sleep - that's how you sculpt those abs. We're also diving into protein intake recommendations, ways to track progress, workout duration, and tracking food intake. It's time to pump up your understanding and flex those knowledge muscles.

This week's episode is all about—Muscle. Or, more precisely, building muscle. The pursuit of muscle is not just about appearance but about becoming the strongest version of yourself, irrespective of gender. It's about unlocking a whole level of benefits, including increased life expectancy, improved mood, mental health, confidence, and the prevention of injuries. Addressing the pitfalls such as inconsistency because you can't treat the gym like a one-night stand, neglecting progressive overload, and improper nutrition. Your body needs the right fuel, not junk. Protein is your foundation, your building block. It's like the blueprint for muscle construction. I'll be discussing common mistakes in muscle-building, including poor form, inadequate rest, and lack of tracking and planning. Proper hydration, rest days, the importance of sleep and the adverse effects of alcohol on muscle building.

For decades, fat’s been blamed for everything from heart disease to your dad’s cholesterol numbers—thanks in part to jokers like Ancel Keys. But it’s time we set the record straight.

In this week's episode, we're lifting the dumbbell of truth on alcohol and its effects on muscle gains. I'll be exploring gender differences and how women, due to body composition variations, experience faster alcohol absorption, raising health risks. I'm also looking at the time it takes for alcohol to leave our systems and the legal threshold for impairment. I'm also discussing how alcohol disrupts muscle protein synthesis and triggers hormonal imbalances, affecting muscle growth. Nutrient absorption suffers as alcohol damages the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and liver, urging moderation for optimal health. Hydration takes a hit with alcohol's diuretic effects, affecting temperature, joints, and nutrient transport. I'll be addressing fat burning too, looking at how alcohol slows metabolism and introduces empty calories. All of these factors can negatively impact your muscle-building progress. You can't lift heavy and drink heavy if you want to see real progress. So next time you're at the bar, just remember, you might be toasting to gains lost in the fog of alcohol.

This week, we're diving into a topic that might be weighing you down—quite literally! We've all been there—You wake up, drag yourself to the mirror, and you have a puffy marshmallow face.

Or maybe it was that second salted caramel brownie you just had to have yesterday? Well, don't worry, my bloated friends, because today, we're gonna explore how everything from diet, hormones, illnesses, medications, and even your favourite salty snacks can turn you into a human sponge.

This episode is dedicated to women's strength training. Firstly, I’m kicking things off by stomping out the age-old myth that if women pick up a barbell they will bulk up like bodybuilders. I discuss the science behind muscle development and explain why this fear is unfounded. I address the common misconception regarding testosterone levels in women. I will also look at the issue of trolling, double standards, and criticism women often face when embracing strength training. This episode, addresses the positive health benefits that come with women's strength training, from improved metabolism, enhanced bone density, and a reduced risk of chronic diseases. Not to mention the bonus of improved mental health, a better mood, and Beyonce levels of self-confidence. Strength training is more than just lifting weights; it's a discipline that shapes our inner strength and equips us to tackle life's challenges with determination and resilience.

Welcome to Episode 2. In this episode, I'll be debunking fitness myths. First off, I'm taking a sledgehammer to the whole 'toning' nonsense, emphasising that it's about having muscle and low body fat. And then there's this spot reduction nonsense, the idea that you can magically melt fat from a specific area by targeting it. Salt gets a rebrand; salt can be your ally if you use it wisely, and it can help you perform at your best. Eggs, those little powerhouses of nutrition. They were once cast as villains, but now they're the heroes of the story. Eggs are packed with protein and nutrients that can do wonders for your body. And finally, the whole "no eating after 8 PM" myth, It's not about the clock; it's about balancing those calories throughout the day.
