The Emma Guns Show

I had a huge response on Instagram when I shared the best information I’ve ever heard when it comes to why protein is such an important macro nutrient. For that reason, I thought I’d share it with you again in case you missed it first time around. Right now, you can’t move for protein printed across most food packaging. Even chocolate bars have got in on the action, producing ‘high protein’ varieties of their sweet snacks to try to sell them as a key component of a healthy, balanced diet. How can this be junk food when it contains protein? What’s the truth?  In 2021 I interviewed Dr Gabrielle Lyon [https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/], a double-board certified family physician trained in geriatric nutritional sciences who focuses on skeletal muscle to support longevity.  It was her work with geriatric patients that highlighted the importance of maintaining lean muscle in order to live well into older age and to avoid a plethora of health issues. The fact this conversations pre-dates the obsession with protein adds, I think, real value to Gabrielle’s expertise because it was long before every ‘health expert’ was talking about protein on podcasts.  This conversation actually fundamentally changed how I eat and, since we spoke, I’ve been focusing on a high protein diet for all the reasons she describes during this conversation - not least to get lean while building muscle. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

It's all been a bit much lately, to be honest. Turns out, a 'sorry we missed you' notification on a day when I had WAITED IN ALL MORNING was the straw that broke the camel's back. The real lesson here is that I need to refresh my coping mechanisms because something as trivial as missing a delivery, albeit for a replacement internet router because my one inexplicably gave up a few days ago, shouldn't be the thing that makes me cry. 📧 Contact me: office@emmaguns.com 👓 Read me: Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/ [https://emmaguns.substack.com/] Follow me: 📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ [https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

We're back with the a Bullet Points episode because I've just watched the news and some reactions to the Sean Combs case have left me, well, confused. Are we so blinded by celebrity that abandon common sense? Listen to the two episodes on this case from Redhanded here: Diddy Part 1 [https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/redhanded/id1250599915?i=1000704614689] and Diddy Part 2 [https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/redhanded/id1250599915?i=1000705251890]. 📧 Contact me: office@emmaguns.com 👓 Read me: Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/ [https://emmaguns.substack.com/] Follow me: 📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ [https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

I spoke about this over my Substack this week but, my word, the new series of And Just Like That has made me feel really scared about getting older. What happened to the dynamic, powerful women from Sex and the City - I want them back! Also, my latest weight loss update is one I wasn't expecting. The pump from the gym feels great but after weeks of feeling leaner, it's surprising to feel swollen all of a sudden. Oh, and some incredible beauty finds: Self Glow by James Read [https://go.shopmy.us/p-20507846] Yepoda Porefect Pads [https://go.shopmy.us/p-20507781] Lisa Eldridge Desert Gleam [https://go.shopmy.us/p-20507703] Ziip Halo [https://go.shopmy.us/p-20296472]. *contains affiliate links. 📧 Contact me: office@emmaguns.com 👓 Read me: Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/ [https://emmaguns.substack.com/] Follow me: 📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ [https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

I've been on my travels, have had some bizarre but quite insightful messages and have been humbled by the weights room in the gym this week... 📧 Contact me: office@emmaguns.com 👓 Read me: Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/ [https://emmaguns.substack.com/] Follow me: 📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ [https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
