    #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!

    #337: Adolescent Athletes - Understanding The Bigger Picture in “Fuelling”

    I work with both adult and adolescent athletes… And the thing that creates more complexity for the latter, is that fuelling has to be looked at from not just the lens of regular life and sport but also from one more very important way. What is this? Why is the fuelling puzzle more deep when dealing with teen athletes? In this episode, I unpack the bigger picture lens of fuelling in teen sports and the athletes I work with.  This episode is especially for the parents of adolescents wanting to know more about the complexity of their child's nutrition situation.

    #336: Guilt isn’t a good tactic…

    Do you experience or used to experience food-related guilt? If so, this is common and you are not alone. However, sometimes we think we need to guilt our way to success or taking action but this is actually a poor approach for the vast majority of us. We need to start looking at guilt as a human, in ways inevitable but negative outcome - and work on managing it better.  Because guilt is not a good tactic… In this episode, I explain the guilt equation in nutrition and why it is not ideal and how to go about managing setbacks and guilt in a more healthy, productive way to pushes you forward rather than pulls you back.

    #335: Truth About Consistency (What Does It Really Mean?)

    Consistency is a fundamental pillar of nutrition success and how I go about coaching my clients. But what does it really mean to be consistent effectively? Does it mean rigid plans and strict control over all food choices? Or is there more to it? In this episode, I explain the truth around consistency using a recent example I also discussed, about how it’s easy to misinterpret consistency in a practical sense and looking at the overraching principle more healthily.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #334: Does muscle weight more than fat? (Here’s the truth once and for all)

    One of the more common things you may here is that muscle weighs more than fat so that is why I am not losing weight or not seeing the changes. Interestingly, there is both truth and myth in this statement. In this episode, I answer the question once and for all: does muscle weigh more than fat? Or is there simply a misinterpretation going on. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #333: Eating differently on the weekends…good or bad or fine?

    “I eat differently on the weekend, is this ok? Does this go against the need for consistency? A question I was asked and a great one to answer as I am sure many wonder this. We always talk about consistency with nutrition and how you need to not worry about perfection. However, if you diet changes up come the weekend…what should you know? It’s actually simpler than you think but also more nuanced too. In this episode, I explain the truth around weekend nutrition and whether you should be making a fuss about if its different to what you eat during the week or not.

    #332: Does ketosis exist? (and a more important question or 2 to ask yourself instead)

    “Does ketosis exist?”. The answer to this question is simple but there are 1-2 questions you should be asking yourself instead when deciding on how to strategically diet for your goals.

    #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.
