1:06:01

I am back with part two of my series with Dr Alan Flanagan! This episode explores the themes of hyper-individualism in the health and wellness space. Are vegetarians healthier?

Ep. 37 (Pt. 1) Is nutrition research f*cked? with special guest Dr. Alan Flanagan 54:05

1y ago54:05

54:05

We are flooded with outrageous-sounding information on nutrition every single day.

1y ago1:12:10

1:12:10

We all do it, don't finish the final set at the gym, tell ourselves we'll start again on Monday , ghost our coaches, let our goals fade into the distance when we might have had a really good chance of getting there. Self-sabotaging or self-handicapping is really quite common. WE ALL DO IT. So why do we do it? Is this is the secret sauce to overcomi…

Ep. 33 Why stoicism and dieting don't go together, in my humble opinion 30:14

1+ y ago30:14

30:14

Is it stoicism or is she dissociating? Right after the Easter holiday, I think we can all agree that copying and pasting a math solution onto an emotional issue just won't work. It is a round peg and a square hole... Now stoicism is often toted around as something 'motivating' to make us want to work out and eat broccoli, but does it work? Every 18…

11:19

What do all of these things have in common you ask? Well let me tell you, in this little soundbite of an episode I discuss the difference between causation and correlation. Lots of things are correlated but that doesn't always add up to one CAUSING the other and we can really get carried away with this in nutrition studies. Especially in click-bait…

We've all seen the ads, we've all had friends happily forking over their hard-earned money to be told that they are 'intolerant' to foods that they eat all the time.
