The Real Weight Loss Coach

Sick kids are becoming so common that it seems like it’s a matter of drawing out something from the un-lucky dip to see what your kid has. The fact is that being unlucky has very little to do with sick children… it doesn’t mean there aren’t unlucky kids or people in the world of illness and disease - of course there are, but when we create a human from parents that are unhealthy or unwell, we’re n...

Do you cook with vegetable oil? If so then it’s time for a life changing event… listening to this podcast. Unfortunately, many parts of the food and nutrition conversation is underpinned by an economic gain from before you and I were born. Not only will this give you a history lesson but also a bit of a health revelation and well, we all need one of those. In This Episode I Discuss: Feeling misali...

Vegan was all the rage for a while and now carnivore is going gangbusters -2 ways of eating that are at either end of the diet spectrum, at least philosophically. However, if we look at the reason humans eat food it really is a different conversation. If we measure diets based on the micronutrients that they provide then maybe vegan and carnivore are no longer opposites but in fact the difference...

Do you blame willpower for not being strong enough to commit to the latest diet… only to find that it is yet another diet in a long list of diets that haven’t quite done what you wanted to because you either didn’t stick to the plan or totally gave up when someone offered you a chocolate smeared bagel? Willpower is a word we throw around but the truth is that it is much deeper than that so if you...

It’s as if the weight loss secret has been locked up with the Kernel’s 11 herbs and spices and no one has access to it. No one ever! Since it’s gotten to this point, it might be time to shift the attention away from the advice and more to other parts of the weight-loss equation that have changed over time as well but not really been in view of the people instructing you to lose weight. If you look...

As if family politics didn’t needed another injection of chaos, yet here we are at Christmas time following the instructions of the mainstream media to unitive, segregate and discriminate against family members due to their (usually well informed) choices about what to do with their body - it’s nuts that I’m having to do this episode and that most people are encouraging us to take a monumental ste...

Life is a mythical beast. It can feel all over the shop and equally exactly what we want it to be. This flux that occurs between chaos and clarity is difficult, if not impossible to interpret as our rational mind perpetually seeks for rhyme, reason, and logic to make sense of things, which it turns out is not the best way to deal with the existential nature of disorder. You’ll be happy to know tha...

Our ego is often challenged by the idea of a ‘simple answer’ or a ‘simple truth’, we become skeptical, suspicious, and uncertain because we’ve been convinced that if we’re not research experts our own knowing or knowledge cannot be true because life is so incredibly complex. Fortunately, the simple answer can often be the most helpful but it is only made simple by one's willingness to accept i...

Our own behaviour is potentially one of the biggest conundrums you’ve ever come across in your life. Why is this easy and why is that hard? Why can that person do that, but I can’t? It seems like the never-ending pursuit of a shadow. The good thing is, as Dr. Demartini highlights in this episode, all that is missing is the framework of thinking about the self. When you have the framework right, yo...

How long can you go forward, full steam ahead, ignoring the horrible things that have happened until the whole system breaks apart? A month.. a year… a decade…. Or worse, a lifetime? Or will you be stuck in this place of resentment and again for the past and disgust and disappointment for the present and hopelessness for the future. There is no arguing that it’s a tough road, dealing with trauma f...

Believe it or not, the food industry, which happens to be a significant pillar of our the economy in which we live, rarely has your health and wellness at the centre of their decision-making. The consequence of that is that the processing and manufacture of all foods are subject to the fastest, cheapest path to get from farm or factory to your belly and for that path to be possible it means lots o...

Behaviour change is hard stuff, am I right? “I want to be different but… I can’t seem to make it happen”... might feel like a familiar story and you’re not alone if it is. Diet and health transformation has a dirty little secret and it’s that ‘information does not equal transformation’. We know this because the world has the internet and if more information made us better then we’d all be rich, se...

If there is anything that is true in most people’s food consumption, it is that eating more plants that grew in the dirt, is probably going to be an extremely positive thing for the state of their body by reducing inflammation, replacing other toxic foods, and giving your gut bugs something better to digest. Whilst going fully vegan or plant-based might not be your jam this one is certainly a good...

Low carbohydrate has been a thing for a few years now but is it a fad? Is this the modern-day low-fat diet that we think is super amazing and in a few decades we’ll look back and laugh. Well at the minute I’m taking the if it isn’t broken don’t fix it approach because the low carb diet is having some very powerful and positive effects on some serious disease states and on this episode In This Epis...

If you’ve got a friend in a ‘health’ multi-level marketing company then it is likely you’ve heard that the amount of nutrition in a single apple is no longer what it used to be 50 years ago… to get the same amount of nutrition as you did back then, it’s likely you need closer to a kilo of mainstream supermarket apples. However supplements too have to come from somewhere and so instead of using the...

To celebrate the episode 150 milestone we reflect and highlight some of the most impactful episodes that I feel could collectively have the biggest chance of giving you the tools to transform your health, from the farm to the dinner plate, or from hospital bed ridden to a state of healing - there is something in each one that will change the way you do health for you and your whole family. In This...

Does the host of this show eat only or mostly plants? It seems in the common tongue the word health is synonymous with ‘vegan’ or ‘plant based’ which to many of us healthy eating practitioners, gurus, and experts out there is quite funny as we see the marketing genius playout on BOTH sides of the food conversation. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t lots of people making health decisions with pla...

Can women Intermittent Fast or more importantly, should women Intermittent fast? This is a question I hear often and thus I wanted to dedicate an entire podcast episode to answering this question. As you can see by the part 1, I realised midway through that this really needs a lot of time to get down to the nitty-gritty information but needless to say any beginner questions about hormones will be...

Have you meditated on your goals for years and you’re still not a super healthy, ripped millionaire? Me either! And it turns out that people can spend their life engaging with self-help and personal development only to find they never really reached what they truly wanted, which can lead to a life of purposelessness. It’s the same with your body and your health - all the affirmations in the world...

It’s hard to get off the couch right now due to the chronic state of emotions that invade every aspect of our seemingly purposeless lives right now… the lockdown has and tyranny has gone on so long that emotional stagnation, even redundancy has become somewhat, normal - that my friends, is terrifying! Thus, this episode is about giving you actionable content that you can do at home, in lockdown, t...

What a time of history we are in… if you're feeling a little bit like WTF is really going on here, then you’re not alone. Collectively there are millions and millions of people in over 100 countries protesting, attending rallies, and asking questions that challenge the current medical narrative that is unfolding in such a devastating way. In this podcast, we have a well-known voice in the spac...

Are you having regular meltdowns at home during a lockdown? Or maybe you’ve passed that stage and you’re in a feeling of perpetual apathy about your lack of freedom, control, and ability to make a change in your life. In total transparency, I’m right there with you which is exactly how I came across these 5 strategies that I felt could be useful for you too in this unforeseen and never experienced...

Irrelevant of the stage of your life that you’re at, your hormones are likely going to be a significant conversation at some point. Be it birth control, fertility health, perimenopause or menopause, the world we are in unfortunately lends itself to being highly disruptive to the natural state of our hormones. Not ideal but this is the world we’ve created… the good thing is we can create a better w...

This is a bit of a podcast-inception scenario. This episode is an episode of another episode. Wow. Are you confused? I was fortunate enough to be invited onto the Roll With The Punches Podcast with Tiffanee Cook and she was kind enough to share the audio of our show together, so that I could share it with you - it’s a doozy, so hold onto your hat! In This Episode We Cover: The historic foundations...

For better or for worse mental health challenges have become a regular conversation - for better because it’s great that how people are feeling is becoming something other people care to talk about - for worse because it sucks that people feel so down, but irrelevant of the current tyrannical tornado, anxiety, and depression are things that can strike at any time. Interestingly though, our nutriti...
