Let's Just Talk

The new year is upon us and that means one thing... NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS! You will no doubt have heard a tonne of people tell you to not even bother, with many others saying they are crucial to help you make progress towards your goals. So... What to do? I made this podcast to discuss that exact question in a little more detail as well as to discuss what my goals are (Professional, Personal and R...

This is the FINAL episode for the 2019 year and I am SOOO very proud and happy that I kept my promise to myself and to all of you, to ensure I uploaded 1 episode EVERY single Monday of the year. 52 weeks... 52 episodes and what a journey we have been on! This weeks episode is an ABSOLUTE CRACKER and I really hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed making it. I had the pleasure of sitting d...

With shows like Master Chef, The Iron Chef and My Kitchen Rules as well as social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest the world of food styling and "juzzing" up your home cooked meal has become VERY common. You can't order a meal at your local cafe without seeing someone whipping out their phone to take a photo of their order to upload it straight to Instagram. Also, cafe's and restaurant...

I developed the 5 IN 10 Program as a way to help people lose 5kg in 10 weeks and to show participants everything they will ever need to know continue the process for the rest of their lives. What they got out of the program though was SO much more and Rachael who was the winner of the first program came onto my podcast this week to tell you all about what she lost but also gained from her experien...

I have been in this fitness industry going on almost 20 years now and have seen MANY trends come and go and I am asked on a weekly basis on almost all of them. Adam, will KB's help me with Fat Loss? Adam, is CrossFit dangerous? Adam, should I give HIIT training a go? While these types of training methods all have their place and have had up's and down's in popularity, one training method that has...

While I may be a BIG softy at heart, there are not many things in life that bring me to tears. One thing that is a sure fire way to bring on the water works though is to watch the miracle that is life and to watch your own child come into the world. On Saturday the 30th of November, I became a father for the second time and was able to welcome Anna Jean Martin into the world, as she came in kickin...

I have seen an ever increasing trend of people taking my "balance is key", "as long as it fits your calories" advice far too literally and reverting to fasting as a way to "punish" themselves for the food they ate the day before or after a big social weekend. Fasting as an array of positive health and well-being benefits and it is these that you should focus on when looking to include fasting or t...

From the moment I laid my eyes on Amy for the first time in 2007 as she strutted her way down the pool deck after winning yet another swimming race in her illustrious career, I was fixated on getting to know who she was and getting her to notice me. In many ways, we should NEVER have worked and we almost didn't. She was super smart and into books, while I was into video games and growing my biceps...

A little over 8 months ago Max came to me in my DM's over on Instagram and was desperate for some help to see him curb his ever growing waist line and numbers on the scale. At over 6 foot tall and 200kg, Max was by far the biggest person I had ever spoken to and I could here in his words just how lost he felt and how hopeless he was about the entire weight loss process. We spoke to Max 5 months ag...

Just over 13 years ago in October of 2006, I started my Exercise Physiology business on the back end of completing my final thesis for my Exercise Physiology Masters Degree. I had found a niche in the market that no one else was attending to and so I went all in. I never knew or could even imagine that over the next 13 years I would create a thriving exercise physiology business that would lead me...

All Melissa Boudreau, creator and founder of ItFits Bar, wanted was to be able to have a protein bar that tasted great, used real products rather than sugars and "fillers", could cater to her macronutrient needs and wouldn't upset her stomach and autoimmune conditions. This was a thought she had back in 2017 as she was helping a friend move house and was in a car driving across the country. As any...

Someone asked me during the week... "Adam, what are your thoughts on how to live a happy life" and it got me thinking... what do I think it takes to live a happy life. I decided to get my phone out and write down a few things that came to mind and what eventuated was a list, in no particular order, of things I think you can do to see you live a happy life. Do I think this list is the be all and en...

I have had the pleasure of working with Zach for a few years now and I have watched his career as a Personal Trainer develop into forming a niche way about his training and interaction with clients that has seen him and the people he works with, get some GREAT results. He has a very hard line and straight talking way about his training and nutrition philosophies that he is unapologetic about. Whil...

I am asked at least once a day... Adam, I hear you talk about how important protein is, but how do I get more protein into my diet without going over my daily calorie count? Well, from here on out, every time I get that question I can now direct that person straight to this podcast. In this episode you will hear me talk about how to go about that very task, but what I mostly do is go through the t...

I remember a few years back having Travis (AKA The Bucket List Guy) come to speak to us at our gym and was instantly taken by his message of not only having a bucket list of things to do in life, but ACTUALLY taking action and ticking them off before your last breath is taken. Too many people wait until a life changing event or diagnosis to fulfill their bucket list dreams and Travis is all about...

I had the opportunity to sit down with long time mate from the Allied Health industry and amazing practitioner Tom Ierardo. Tom is a Myotherapist who has been in the game almost as long as I have and just like me, has a passion for helping people reduce pain, find function and come away from each session feeling better than when they came in. I have had a great relationship with Tom over the years...

A common question that I am asked goes something like this... Adam, how do I start fasting or how do I start the no breakfast life? I thought, this is a great opportunity to give a more detailed answer than... JUST START! In this episode I go in much more detail on the steps I took and now advise my clients take when looking to start their very own fasting or no breakfast journey. Whether you are...

When I sat down to chat with Bridget, an Accredited Dietician, I had some preconceived ideas on how I thought the podcast would play out, but it went in an entirely different direction to where I thought it would. I don't see that as a bad thing in any way, quite the opposite actually. This was one of the best podcasts I have done and I came away from the chat eager to post it so that you may all...

I have worked with 1000's of people over the years and there have been a number of traits and common behaviours that I have seen arise that occur with people who find success on their fat loss journey. On the flip side, there have been a number of people who have not been successful on their journey and in those people there have been a number of common mistakes that are made. I wanted to share th...

I really had no idea what would come of this podcast and what we would even talk about, but as I sat down to chat with my parents and hit record I had one thought in mind. All I wanted to do was to have a catch up with my parents and try and get a sense of how they thought my life had played out and was it where they thought it would be for me. I love my parents dearly and as they age I am reminde...

I had the pleasure of giving a presentation to a manufacturing business this past week and I was able to record that presentation live. The presentation I gave was geared around the idea that most of us know what our financial balance is and have an understanding to whether we will have enough money to retire, but most people have NO IDEA what their "Health Balance" is. In this presentation I talk...

Last week I asked my Instagram audience what questions they wished to ask me on the topics I feel most comfortable answering in Fasting, Fat Loss and Fitness. I went into detail on all three topics and was able to get through over 15 questions in the time I recorded this podcast. My hope is that you find value in the content I presented in this podcast and as always, should you have any further qu...

This weeks podcast was a HIGHLY requested podcast after I posted a question the other week asking who would be interested in hearing me talk about menopause and how to lose weight and stay on track throughout the pre and post menopausal years. I dive into what peri-menopause and menopause is, what the physical and psychological symptoms of these stages are and what you can do to ensure that you ca...

On this weeks podcast I talk about the time you do have each week, how to use that time in the most efficient way possible and to see yourself rid toxic time wasters from your life to allow you TIME to achieve the life you have always dreamt about. I do hope you enjoy the episode and as always if you do enjoy the show and haven't already, please go and give the podcast a quick review and 5 star ra...

On this weeks podcast I talk about whether fat loss plateau's exist and if they do, how do you know you are in one and how you can break through your fat loss or progress plateau. If you have been struggling to lose those last few kilos or are half way there and the progress as completely stopped and you don't know why, then this is the podcast for you.
