    #331: Is Creatine Monohydrate only beneficial if I go to the gym?

    Creatine is one of the most well researched supplements out there. Safe and effective for most.  Yet the question about it’s benefits is an important one when considering context of commencing it. I was recently asked whether creatine is only good if you work out. Well, actually now we are seeing more and more evidence of benefits beyond the gym performance. In this episode, I explain the various benefits of Creatine Monohydrate.

    #330: Is there such a thing as a universal best fat loss diet? (Here’s a reminder)

    What is the best diet for fat loss? Does one even exist? What should you be doing to lose weight? So many questions. So much desire for a clear cut universal answer. But does one exist? There is the important question for today. In this episode, I go back to remind you about the answer to the question: What is the best fat loss diet?

    #329: Can You vs. Should You (Eat Anything In A Calorie Deficit) - Looking Beyond The Technicalities

    So we know we need a calorie deficit to lose weight. We also know that you can make any food fit and still lose weight if the calories are correctly controlled. But should you? Just because you can do? That is the question not many ask and one that provides an additional layer of context to a commonly overly simplified area of nutrition.  In this episode, I explain the nuance of flexible dieting and making any foods fit, with a consideration for the bigger nutrition picture.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #328: Overcoming Novelty Eating: Addressing Uncontrollable Habits and Behaviours

    Do you find yourself easily sticking to your diet and plan but once you hang out with someone specific or when you are in a specific situation, you fall off immediately and is almost as if your whole mindset shifts? You are dealing with a situational habit and behaviour, and there is a chance that you have created a novelty around the food choices in these situations so that you almost always revert back when the “trigger” comes around.  So what can you do? In this episode, I talk about overcoming the novelty of certain eating behaviours and what you can do to start moving past this.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #327: Hot Water vs Cold Water - What Does The Science Really Say?

    You should be drinking hot water. You should be drinking cool water. You shouldn’t be drinking this water, why are you drinking that water? So much confusion and overthinking on the most seemingly simple part of nutrition… Hydration! More specifically, there has been this recent push for drinking of hot water (or warm water really), in the mornings to help aid in some health benefits. But how true is this? Is it really better than cold water drinking? In this episode, I explain the basics around what the science really says (or doesn’t say)  about the question of hot water vs cold water for health, digestion, and results.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #326: What you eat in a day doesn’t matter…here’s why! (Looking beyond the singularities of nutrition)

    “What I eat in a day”. Doesn’t matter so much. Not in the way you think anyways. So many people fixate and focus on what they eat everyday and how to make a single day of eating perfect, but start to lose the forest for the trees. It really does not matter what 1 single day of eating looks like unless you know this….and I share it in this podcast so please have a listen.  In this episode, I explain how you shouldn’t be so much worrying about what you eat in a day, without looking at the bigger and long term picture.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!
