    #345: The Delay - A Last Quarter Mindset Block

    There is a particular mindset that impacts many a people focusing on their nutrition, health, and fitness around the end of the year. The final quarter of the year mindset. What I call The Delay. It impacts goals and can be a reason you are slowing down your own results inadvertently.  In this episode, I explain what this unnecessary and potentially problematic mindset that many people experience in the lead up to the end of year festive season.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #344: Clarifying the Protein Game: Protein Targets vs. Protein Food Amounts

    Does talking about protein amounts confuse you? Do you find yourself wondering what it means when you are told you need to be eating XYZ amount of protein in grams? Well, this one is for you. I realised that there was sometimes a bit of confusion around the dialogue around protein and how much protein one needs to eat. So what do we as Dietitian’s generally mean when we say you should be eating X amount of protein? In this episode, I breakdown the protein game and explain the differences and nuances of protein targets, total needs, food amounts, and protein content of food.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #343: The High Protein Food Marketing “Trap” - My Dietitian Take

    You walk into the supermarket and left, right, and centre… No matter where you look you see “protein this, and protein that”. Safe to safe the whole protein train has gotten out of hand, even in my Dietitian opinion as someone who is very pro-protein. Does everything really need a protein version?  Feel overwhelming getting a sense of the food supply these days? Well, you are not alone and I want to clear things up.  Let’s chat food marketing and protein craziness! In this episode, I explain why you need to take a step back and pick and choose your focus around protein foods and why going back to basics and simplicity may be just want the Dietitian ordered.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #339: All athletes need to know about Low Energy Availability (LEA)

    LEA…Low energy availability. Very important topic to cover that comes from a recent chat with a new client and their parent. What I have found it is now being more and more known but still there are some misunderstandings to address. Doing so will improve the profile of this athlete issue and hopefully create more awareness so that more athletes, growing and mature, seek nutrition guidance. In this episode, I explain what low energy availability is, why it’s important, and why all athletes need to know about it and understand it’s a universal risk factor needing addressing.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #338: Willpower is not enough.

    If you have spent any decent time trying to work on your health, nutrition, and fitness, you would have been likely led to believe that those with the strongest willpowers are those that succeed. And that without sheer, unrivaled willpower, you don’t stand a chance, right? What if I told you it’s not quite that black and white…that it’s not that simple. That it’s more complex than that and that quite simply, willpower is not enough.  In this episode, I explain why willpower is a poor tool to leverage your success on and why so many have got it wrong about willpower and “motivation” when it comes to ultimate, sustainable longer term nutrition success.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!
