I wrote an email to my email list last week and it had the title, "Success Leaves Clues" and it was one of the most positively responded to emails that I have written and so I thought, why not give a little more context and detail to that email by creating a podcast around the same topic. I have been helping people change their habits, improve their health and live better lives for over 15 years and while I certainly don't have all of the answers, I have noticed a common theme amongst the client...

There were a number of goals I set out to achieve this year, both professionally and personally. One BIG push I wanted to make, was to put more of an effort into my running and to lay some serious foundations that would help set me up to become a much more efficient, stronger and overall FASTER runner. One of the BIG goals was to run 1000km in a year. This past week, 3 months earlier than anticipated, I was able to tick off that big goal and complete my 1000th km. I have learnt a lot over this t...

Being an Exercise Physiologist, I am always going to be biased on the benefits of exercise and suggest that EVERYONE should include exercise as part of their week to week schedule. However, when you are talking about fat loss as a black and white question, is exercise actually that important in the overall process? In this weeks episode of the Let's Talk Fast podcast, I will discuss that question and look to clear up any confusion you may have around just how important it is to helping see you a...

On this weeks podcast I talk all about Supplements. The supplement industry is a multi-BILLION dollar industry and the products and claims these products and companies sell, can make it seem like progress towards your goals would seem impossible without them.

For anyone who has been running for any length of time, running a new PB is a feeling that as a runner you LIVE for!!! Seeing that time drop and physically seeing that progress happening in front of you is GREAT! Eventually though, that time stops going down and many runners can become disheartened at the lack of progress with their continued efforts. Whether you are looking to run a faster 5km or Marathon, the principles behind how that happens and what you will need to do are very similar. In ...

From the VERY outset, I want to be clear with one overriding point... The foods that I mention in this podcast do NOT have some sort of magical power to them, that will see them melt fat from your thighs, belly and body in general. NO food can do that and anyone that is telling you a food can melt belly fat, is a high grade Susie from accounting. The foods I talk about in this podcast are foods that I am suggesting will make your fat loss journey EASIER. So hit that play button, have a listen an...

Weight loss is hard, REALLY hard and sticking to a plan for a long period of time can seem impossible at times, ESPECIALLY when you have a LOT of weight to lose. 6 years ago, Darren weighed in at just over 150kg and after a trip to the emergency room and being told he may be having a heart attack, he knew something had to change. Luckily for Darren it wasn't a heart attack, but so began his journey of what would include MANY ups and downs along a pathway to see him reach his current point that n...
