Irrational Bull Shit.... happens sometimes when people have poor gut or digestive health. Whether it be the long list of doctors they've been to telling them that their symptoms are in their head or that they should have already healed by now or that you must be lying about "really cutting out those foods" since that food cut didn't stop the persistent symptoms.. it also might be because your mental health has deteriorated and you're just bloody over it and today's guest, Functional Nutrition Ed...

We've been hearing the raving fans for over a year or 3 now and Intermittent Fasting has made some really positive changes to an absolute bucket-load of people, my own life included and I use this as a strategic tool with my weight loss clients.. it is super effective when executed correctly. Over the last few years though we've had some myths perpetuated through a bunch of different mediums primarily from people that just haven't come across the right information or the right coach yet so I hop...

Here in Australia the mass media has demonised the sun as the thing causes our skin cancer epidemic... in a rapid turn of events, it appears that not being in the sun is just as likely to cause cancer too, and many other diseases as well. Over the last few hundred years we have gone from spending most of our time outdoors to spending 90% of our time inside, away from the environment and the light that we evolved to utilise and harvest so very effectively. On average, less than 10% of the body's ...

If you want to hear two blokes just have a good old chat about all things about health, nutrition and just generally improving your life.. well you found it.

Ever felt like Instagram really reminds you of how much you suck? Maybe at times it has inspired you but only to be followed by a reminder that your booty doesn't look that round, or your biceps don't have the same pop or that healthy eating is just too hard to do... Guess what? We have all been there and with the unimpaired ability to sit yourself on social media 24 hours per day there has never been a better time to feel shitty about your own life.

Have you heard Personal Trainers or health and fitness experts say Calorie deficit is the only way to lose weight? If you haven't, just start an Instagram account. As you can see, I have a bit of a gripe with the perpetual spreading of this type of a message especially because the people that are absorbing it are the people being harmed by this over-simplification. On Today's Episode I Cover: Why Calories in Calories out is not helpful to most people The other variables in the equation of weight...

Forty 2 Years of experience is a lot! Dr. Mimi Secor has been working in the medical field for more years than I have been alive which is why she has an absolute abundance of knowledge to share with us on the show.

The dreadful 'C' word is absolutely rampant in our society but I am hoping that these episodes of the podcast, although absolutely jam packed, will give you a little bit of hope in the fact that it really is up to you with how you play the hand you were given and not only that, that it is in fact possible to steal some more cards from the Deck!

Many people have an experience that provides for them some type of information that there is a missing part of the equation or their dimension that can only be explained by using the word, spirituality. That same experience happened a few times for Dr. Nasrin Parsian whom features on this episode and it then sent her down the research rabbit-hole looking at spirituality in the context of chronic disease - abstract and interesting to say the least. In Today's Episode We Cover: Dr. Parsian's story...

Food addiction kind of sounds like of a bit a ridiculous term but you don't have to look far to realise most people have some kind of problem with regulating their food consumption. Sadly addicts of all nature are usually unable to emotionally cope and the reality of our world is that parents nor schools really know either which results it is the blind leading the blind.. the big curve ball that we cop in 2019 is that as we're all walking around blind food companies are making foods more irresis...

This episode is a bit of a role reversal scenario. Last year I was lucky enough to be connected with Danny via by a mutual friend - we initially caught up for a coffee and passionately raved on about fat loss and I spilled my guts on my thoughts of the conventional medical systems neglect of diet and nutrition and that then became this podcast episode a few weeks later. It was awesome to be able to jump on The Fitness And Lifestyle Podcast with Instagram celeb @DJKFITNESS otherwise known as Dann...

You know that touchy, feely, emotional stuff that men were never taught to deal with or express? It affects all areas of our relationships with other men and other women and it particularly influences the sexual domain and often there are some pretty negative places in that domain that you can find yourself in as a result of not learning how to express your feelings, desires or needs. Sex is a normal human function and when so many things that shape who we are can impact our sex life we really n...

Every single day we get up ready to face the stresses of the day - they're impossible to avoid, yet we are continually told that stress is a huge problem. What problem is it causing and what do we do about it? The magic question really, given that virtually no one has the desire to pack up and move to the Himalayas and sing kumbaya.

Isn't it interesting that coffee and alcohol are legal yet weed and cocaine are not... arguable substances that induce similar states in many cases. I digress. Coffee as a stimulant has been used for quite a long time in history and like everything humans get their hands on they just have to abuse it to the point that it is not useful.. or that it is now dangerous.. in some cases. Either way, there are alternatives that are kinder to your health. In Today's Episode We Discuss: Whether or not cof...
