Episode 2 - Things to do more or less of...

Episode 5 - Time Restricted Eating

By no means am I going into the science of this, but you don't need to understand everything to benefit from doing it. Time Restricted Eating (TRE), or Time Restricted Feeding (TRF) - same thing - is probably the most basic thing we can do to promote better health, give our body's and digestive systems a break and, as a bonus, can also help with fat loss as it can often lead to a reduction in calories. The premise is simple, set yourself an "eating window" each day and after the cut-off time (ideally at least 2-3 hours before bed), consume zero calories from either food or drink. You may know it as Intermittent Fasting (IF) or 16/8 or multiple other names, but they're essentially all the same thing. We didn't evolve to eat 3 meals a day, every day, forever. We evolved to eat when we could, then go for extended periods without food (by that I mean days, not a couple of hours between meals!). I'd recommend looking up Dr Satchin Panda to learn more about this.

Episode 4 - 10,000 steps a day. Why?

Do you really need to do 10,000 steps a day? Where did that come from and is it only "steps" that count? Or is your time better spent doing something else? Here are my thoughts on the subject.

Episode 3 - Running. I was wrong! (partly)

As ever, not your usual straight answer. I spent many years believing that running was bad for us - was I right or wrong? The answer... both. Find out why here.

Episode 2 - Things to do more or less of...

A cryptic title, I know, but this episode gives you a simple exercise that you can do in 5 minutes that will not only improve your nutrition and health, but your life in general as it can be applied in just about every area. Give it a try and let me know what you got out of it.

Episode 1 - Squats - King of exercises or one to be avoided?

A little controversial to kick things off, but you'll soon discover I can be controversial and I'm not shy about it! Should squats form a part of everyone's training plan? Or is it an exercise that's best avoided by anyone who doesn't compete in powerlifting or olympic lifting??? Let me share my thoughts off the back of early 20 years of coaching people and continued education in the industry. Maybe you'll agree... Maybe you won't...
