Send us Fan Mail 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 overcoming obstacles and final...

Send us Fan Mail If you're trolling the internet for free but useful information in order to improve your diet or get more consistent in the gym, there are many different factors that go into advice. As a coach that tries their very best to give quality recommendations or suggestions for free, when I don't know that much about you it is really difficult and I always start everything with...

Send us Fan Mail Do you ever wish that your personal trainer understood a bit more about living in a larger body? Or maybe what its like to have chronic illnesses? Or maybe even was just a legend who looked at things from a macro perspective rather than just getting shredded for summer? Well look no further, Bon is an incredible human who we are Not Nutrition Gurus are lucky enough to call our fri...

Send us Fan Mail 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-year-old persona...

Send us Fan Mail Your blood sugar will increase when you eat certain foods, carbohydrates, and protein, but how worried do we need to be about that? We all know that diabetes can wreak havoc on our health where glucose runs rampant in our bodies. But is it important to monitor how much your blood sugar spikes when you eat foods? Is that information going to help me make more personalised better nu...

Send us Fan Mail 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 headlines.  Let me know wha...

Send us Fan Mail Well, this was not the podcast that was planned! However, I took my own advice to put out something less than perfect in the name of consistency, and I tease our next episode all about continuous glucose monitors and if we all really need them, or should we hand over our money immediately. Speak to you soon you legendary not-gurus. 

Send us Fan Mail Pardon the sound quality at the beginning of this episode! But if you stick with it, you'll figure out all the answers as to why your gym workouts are not burning as many calories as you think! It really does seem to be a myth that persists, exercise is great for us, and exercise does indeed burn calories but unless you're doing Iron man it is unlikely they burn enough c...

Send us Fan Mail Slapping chocolate out of your hand, following you around telling you, you're worthless and lazy, is that what you're expecting with a nutrition coach? Well, I have such BAD NEWS FOR YOU, I won't be doing that. And not because I don't call my clients out on their bs, lovingly, but shame, guilt and over-restriction don't work to move you closer to your goal...

Send us Fan Mail Working the night shift is associated with an increased risk of obesity, anxiety, depression, diabetes and other comorbidities, so what can we do to give ourselves the best chance? Michelle's advice stems from a very qualified nutrition background and her own experience working nights! Beyond marrying rich, quitting your job and screaming into your pillow there are some pract...

Send us Fan Mail We have all heard it, we've heard it a million times, but is it actually true? Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? Few things make me more worked up than oversimplification and prescriptive nutrition advice. So let's dig into if you can kick-start your metabolism with a bowl of cheerios. 

Send us Fan Mail Ah yes the good old-fashioned return to nature fallacy, We hear it all the time, all-natural, organic, sulphate free etc etc etc. The list goes on and on but is natural better? What about is makes it better? In this tenny tiny little power pod Coach Rach discusses. 

Send us Fan Mail 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. Said friend gets sad for a day, then the friend ignores advice and keeps eating the way they always have. Well here's the thing companies that market food intolerance tests market them quite h...

Send us Fan Mail This is a cheeky little bonus episode, some powdered food for thought if you will. Do you need powdered greens? Are you missing out on health enlightenment if you don't have them ready to go at all times, decanted in a glass container?  In my humble opinion, no, you're not. Equally, what can you do if you're struggling to get some veg in? Rach provides a few practic...

Send us Fan Mail This is a power-pod on how to go vegan 'well'. If you've dabbled in veganism or did Veganuary, this is the podcast to ensure that your diet supports your overall health. It is easy to go vegan these days with all the products out there void of animal products-yay, there are also so many options out there that you don't actually have to eat well and be vegan. Th...

Send us Fan Mail Rachel Henley and Rachel Hunter walk you through practical tips to get yourself in the gym. Being intimidated to go into the gym is a real thing! But don’t let that stop you from reaching your goals. Rach and Rach give practical tips to get you in the door and get you started. Starting small, badly, awkwardly is still starting. 

Send us Fan Mail New year, new me comes up every year, the thing is there isn't actually anything inherently wrong with a New Years' Resolution. However, it is worth considering how you can move towards your more ideal self without grinding yourself to dust, without making it all about how much you weigh and creating yet another self-defeating prophecy for yourself. So what can you focus...

Send us Fan Mail Your ideal self, core values and nutrition...? Oh my! What do all of these things have in common? Well, potentially your New Years' Resolution! Our special guest this week is heath and confidence coach Shannon Beer is as close to a guru as we'll likely get on a show where gurus are not allowed.   Shannon walks us through what makes goals achievable, how to be flexible, a...

Send us Fan Mail Nothing like Rachel Hunter on a rant on a Monday morning to really get you going. Macro counting has long been bludgeoned into us as a useful way to maintain, change or improve body shape but how necessary is it actually?? There are plenty of large nutrition coaching programs that have plenty of clients who get results with these methods,  but there are plenty of people who are un...

Send us Fan Mail It is slower but adding a week or two, or a month or two of maintenance calories into your fat loss plan can be really helpful. Just because you're not losing body fat does not mean that you are not getting a bit fitter, stronger, and overall healthier. Don't let diet culture take away relearning some key eating habits, structuring your meals well and eating foods you lo...

Send us Fan Mail This week on Not Nutrition Gurus, we have our very first guest Michelle Carroll! Michelle has a master's in Sports and Exercise Nutrition which coupled with her unparalleled sense of humour makes her the ultimate first guest on the pod.   During her master, she delved into research about the pertinence of body image and disordered eating in fitness professionals. It is so eas...

Send us Fan Mail Life is going well, and even better you feel like you FINALLY have a handle on your diet and your training. And yet there is the universe looming over you and you're struck down with random chaos. A speed bump in the road of life but it can feel like everything you've been working towards is thwarted and you're getting the tingling session of just giving up because...

Send us Fan Mail Bloated, sad, no money, holidays are over, it's dark at 4 pm and now you look at the scale and have gained 10lbs in two weeks and you start to plan your next move so that you can be 'shredded for summer'. Does this all sound familiar? The cycle of doom with the holidays, possibly your holiday plans didn't go to plan exactly. Well, how do you come out of the oth...
