    S1 Ep 06 Prediabetes and how to fix it.

    Can you reverse prediabetes or type 2 diabetes? Here’s what the science says. Did you know that over 80% of people with prediabetes don’t even know they have it? That means millions are walking around with elevated blood sugar and early signs of type 2 diabetes, completely unaware their body is trying to warn them. But here’s the truth: prediabetes doesn’t have to lead to diabetes. It’s not a life sentence — it’s a second chance. And in this Episode, we’re diving into what it really takes to turn things around. We’re unpacking the science behind insulin resistance, what early symptoms to look out for, and how to naturally lower your blood sugar through simple, sustainable lifestyle shifts. If you or someone you care about is dealing with low energy, weight gain, blood sugar concerns, or has been told they’re at risk — this conversation could change everything.

    S1 Ep 05 Understand Your Gut, a Two-Parter.

    In the opening Episode of our Metabolic Series, Mel and Col dive into the world of gut health. Our gut is central to pretty much everything — digestion, immunity, energy levels, even our mood. Gut issues are ridiculously common with over three billion people worldwide struggling with things like bloating, IBS, and digestive discomfort. So in Part One, Col crafts an analogy to help explain the role of gut bacteria and how food choices shape our gut environment. They break down why gut health matters and introduce key concepts that will set the stage for Part Two. Tune in to uncover the first steps to better understanding your metabolism from the inside out! Recorded February 2025.  A top listen for everyone, particularly for those struggling with things like bloating, IBS, and digestive discomfort.   Join us on social media to continue the conversation @morecommonknowledge.

    S1 Ep 04 Menopause, but make it manageable.

    In this new Series, which focuses on female health, we’re going to talk about how exercise and food can work for females going through the Menopause. Almost half of females going through the menopause say that work, home and sex-life are all a struggle, for over a third of females their social life ends up in the bin, and worse – half of females don’t ask for help. It’s estimated that come next year, over one billion females will be menopausal. Yet there’s still so many people without access to helpful information and who are unsupported.  We want to address this a little bit in this Episode. So we're going to be asking, is it possible to manage the menopause with certain foods or exercise and alleviate some of the burden that it brings?  A top listen for females, their partners, family, friends and colleagues.
