    #128 Nick Papastamatis - A Practitioner's Take On Injuries & Niggles (Replay)

    Some physical pains are unproblematic and are no cause for a check-up, like sore muscles from a workout. But other seemingly innocent injuries, like a sprained ankle, can snowball into much bigger issues up the chain. In this episode, we discuss this with Dr. Nick Papas, as well as his new habit of undie sniffing. Yeah, you read that right.

    #126 Dean and George - Training To Failure - When you should & shouldn't

    #126 Dean and George - Training To Failure - When you should & shouldn't

    Most people either believe 'you need to train to failure' OR that 'training to failure is bad'. But this topic isn't as black and white. In this episode, your hosts Dean and George take you on a tour of all things training to failure. They'll explain how it's not 'good or bad' but rather, how it might be more or less appropriate for you (or your clients) at different points in time. Armed with this knowledge, you're better equipped to make effective decisions.

    #125 Dr Gabby Fundaro - You Don't Know Sh*t About Your Gut (Replay)

    We call her the poo master, and boy, did she deliver. We score this episode a bristol stool of 3-4, right in the perfect zone! In this episode with Dr Gabby Fundaro, Gabby breaks down what a 'healthy gut' is, or if such a thing even exists, discusses candida overgrowth and why we can't manipulate a single strain of bacteria. We also discuss the relevance of context-specific environmental factors that impact the gut microbiome and whether or not genetics play a major role in how your belly impacts your bum... and so much more.
