    Are Women Small Men? | Dr Lauren Colenso-Semple

    Women are told to change their lifting, cardio, protein and even meal timing depending on their cycle phase. Dr Lauren Colenso-Semple has measured those hormones across many cycles in many women, and she has published some of the key research testing whether cycle phase changes how muscle responds to training. In this episode, she and Cliff look at what the evidence supports, what it doesn't, and why goal-led, individualised training beats a hormone calendar. In this episode we cover Why "women are not small men" started as a call for better research and turned into rigid, fear-based rulesHow much research in women actually exists in weight loss, endurance and resistance trainingWhy the textbook 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14 rarely matches real lifeWhy sex differences in strength and muscle gain shrink once people are trainedHow to auto-regulate training on a bad day without skipping the sessionWearables, readiness scores and handing your judgement over to an appThe luteal phase protein claim, and how it stacks one untested mechanism on anotherFasted training, low-carb diets and the fragility narrative aimed at women Chapters 00:00 Intro01:12 Catching up after the Austin conference03:04 Are women just small men?04:05 When empowerment becomes disempowering05:37 Why it took so long to study women08:45 How much research in women do we have?11:00 Cycle syncing and the 28-day myth14:21 Lean mass, training status and sex differences17:23 Train for your goal, not your fibre type18:16 Overcomplication and selling what you can't measure20:55 Life stages, PCOS and lived experience24:55 Do you need lived experience to be an expert?30:10 Consistency beats optimisation35:13 How to auto-regulate training40:55 Objective vs subjective performance43:18 Wearables, readiness scores and AI48:00 Tracking your cycle as one variable among many50:41 Dogma, branding and changing your mind54:30 Cycle-specific nutrition: the luteal protein story59:38 Fasted training and low energy availability1:01:39 Should women fast or go low carb?1:05:38 The optimisation fallacy1:09:05 How adaptable humans are1:13:37 When life gets in the way1:17:12 "Don't do this" messaging: zone 2, HIIT and running1:19:44 Lauren's take-home message1:21:32 The Practitioner's Roadmap About Dr Lauren Colenso-Semple Lauren is a muscle physiology researcher who completed her PhD at McMaster University, focused on exercise physiology, endocrinology and sex-based differences in muscle growth.

    Coffee and Cortisol: What the Research Actually Shows | HPI Team

    Social media says your morning coffee spikes cortisol, drives fat gain and wrecks your hormones. But most of those claims come from studies using doses of 3 to 6 mg of caffeine per kilo, or up to 800 mg in one hit. In this round table, Dr Cliff Harvey sits down with HPI nutritionists Luke Gabites and Choong Kwan to look at what the research actually shows, and how they use coffee/caffiene with their own clients. In this episode we cover: Why "coffee spikes cortisol" is a surface-level read of the researchThe doses used in caffeine studies versus a normal couple of cupsHabituation: why regular coffee drinkers show little cortisol responseAdrenaline, adenosine and what actually makes you feel alertCortisol, "cortisol belly" and fat gain: what the evidence supportsWhen caffeine is a real problem: high-stress clients, energy drinks and sleepPractical guidelines: timing, cups per day, double shots and green teaCoffee and iron absorption for plant-based eaters Chapters 00:00 Intro and the team 01:41 Coffee, cortisol and the social media claims 03:37 Fat gain, hormones and crashes: the claims 04:17 Why a cortisol rise is partly the point 06:16 What the research doses really are 10:11 Dose in the real world: 800 mg is eight cups 11:55 Adrenaline first, cortisol later, and habituation 15:23 Athletes versus high-stress type A clients 19:06 Energy drinks, exercise and the rugby study 22:07 Half-life, timing and hidden calories in coffee 24:08 The latte client: does cortisol cause fat gain? 26:51 Cortisol belly and stress eating 30:05 The bigger stressors in people's lives 33:31 Individual responses and the holistic view 35:33 Practical caffeine guidelines 41:03 Green tea, L-theanine and iron absorption 42:22 Wrap-up and Nutripaedia About the team Dr Cliff Harvey is a clinical nutritionist, researcher and founder of the Holistic Performance Institute.

    Is There a Safe Dose of Alcohol? | Dr Mikki Williden

    Is there a safe dose of alcohol? Headlines say no. The biggest meta-analysis on alcohol and death says something more nuanced. Dr Cliff Harvey sits down with longtime collaborator Dr Mikki Williden to separate "no healthy dose" from "no safe dose", and to work out what a sensible, evidence-based drinking pattern looks like for people who enjoy the odd drink. In this episode we cover: Why alcohol is such a divisive topic, and why both apologists and absolutists get the evidence wrongWhat the Zhao et al. (2023) meta-analysis of 107 cohort studies found on all-cause mortalityWhy cancer risk is where the case for "no safe dose" is strongestRelative vs absolute risk, and how to read a 3% or 20% increaseAbstainer bias: why non-drinkers once looked less healthy than light drinkersHow diet, exercise and a Mediterranean-style drinking pattern change the pictureWhy zero-tolerance messaging can erode trustThe practical take-home: a drinking pattern that sits well inside the risk thresholds Chapters: 00:00 Why alcohol is such a polarising health topic01:25 Why Mikki is the right person to discuss the evidence03:17 Tracking health metrics without obsession07:39 Why steps and movement matter more than fitness dogma09:02 Do strength training and jiu-jitsu count as cardio?12:53 Why more carbs improved Mikki's running and recovery15:47 Why low carb and high carb can both work20:34 Horses for courses: matching diet to the goal and season23:30 Why "what if they did even better?" is a weak argument25:25 Back to alcohol and mortality30:07 Why mortality is the right place to start32:11 What the major meta-analysis found on all-cause mortality35:09 Why cancer changes the conversation38:01 How alcohol-related cancer risk is usually presented40:19 Relative risk vs absolute risk explained42:13 Why cancer studies often use broad intake categories43:46 Drinking frequency and binge patterns44:46 Abstainer bias: why non-drinkers looked worse47:11 Residual confounding and why no study is perfect49:07 How physical activity and Mediterranean habits reduce risk50:43 No healthy dose, but maybe a safe dose55:56 How drinking culture has shifted58:16 Functional drinking and underestimated intake1:02:36 Why zero-tolerance messaging erodes trust1:04:51 Alcohol with food, and why culture affects outcomes1:08:13 Personal tolerance, nickel sensitivity and congeners1:10:11 Social lubrication, behaviour and context1:12:07 The biggest health levers may not be alcohol1:14:03 How mindfulness, sleep and behaviour ripple across health1:15:31 The practical middle ground on alcohol1:17:09 Where to find Mikki and the Holistic Performance Institute About Dr Mikki Williden Dr Mikki Williden is a New Zealand nutritionist with a PhD in nutrition, a former AUT lecturer, and host of the Mikkipedia podcast.

    Plant-Based Pragmatism: When Diet Meets Ethics | Luke Gabites

    Plant-Based and Pragmatic: When Diet Meets Ethics | Luke Gabites Most diet arguments online come down to rules: you either eat this way perfectly or you are out. Registered Clinical Nutritionist Luke Gabites spent years as an ethical vegan, and he joins Dr Cliff Harvey to talk about what happens when strict rules meet real life, real bodies and real clients. Both have plant-based roots, both have become more pragmatic, and neither is anti-vegan. In this episode we cover How Luke and Cliff each came to plant-based eating, and why both have softened over timeWhy a vegan diet isn't medically suitable for everyone, including Cliff's systemic nickel allergy and Crohn's diseaseWhether a vegan diet always results in fewer lives lost, and where food systems and consumerism fit inValues vs rules: an acceptance and commitment therapy lens on how we eatRigid diets, perfectionism and the link with disordered eatingWhat the research on plant-based eating actually shows, and where it gets overstatedWorking with clients across the dietary spectrum without pushing your own ethicsLuke's one universal principle: start with your values, then build a mostly whole-food pattern that lets you live Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:12 Cliff on pragmatism, veganism and dogma 03:49 Welcome Luke 05:05 Luke's path: migraines, student flatting and yoga in India 07:51 Holding values without rigidity 09:30 Cliff's story: hunting, Buddhism and going vegetarian 12:15 Crohn's disease, nickel allergy and eating meat again 15:36 Does a vegan diet always take fewer lives? 17:35 Food systems, gardening and killing slugs 19:20 Perfectionism in diet communities 20:04 Restrictive diets and disordered eating 22:00 Diet vs ethos: the vegan category problem 23:00 Values vs rules 26:28 Identity, performance and hypocrisy 27:39 Insects, puha and cats: where is the line? 30:17 Living in alignment and self-compassion 33:28 Backlash for changing your diet 36:58 Online criticism and when to block 39:45 Bioindividuality and lived experience 41:37 Reading nutrition research pragmatically 45:11 Working with clients of every diet 48:40 Who ends up in your clinic 53:44 Knowing when to refer on 56:47 One universal truth in nutrition 1:00:32 Coach-first practice 1:02:39 The Practitioner's Roadmap About Luke Gabites Luke Gabites is a Registered Clinical Nutritionist (Clinical Nutritionists Aotearoa) and Wellness Educator based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, and the founder of Planted Nutrition.

    How Much Protein Is Too Much? | Dr Eric Helms

    How much protein is too much? For years, 1.6 g/kg has been treated as a hard ceiling for building muscle. Dr Eric Helms was a co-author on the 2018 Morton meta-analysis that produced that number - and in this episode he explains why he now considers it out of date. Cliff and Eric work through what the newer data shows, who needs more, and why the right protein target depends on the person in front of you. In this episode we cover Why the 1.6 g/kg "limit" was never a hard limit, and why meta-analyses expireWhat the Tagawa (2021), Nunes (2022) and Refalo (2025) analyses addProtein targets for a new lifter, an advanced physique athlete and an older adult with sarcopeniaHow to set protein for larger bodies: fat-free mass and the height-in-centimetres heuristicWhether women need less protein than menWhy lean people lose more muscle in a deficit, and what that means for proteinRecomposition, energy balance and why the scale can misleadIs high protein dangerous?

    Protein vs Fibre: Do You Have to Pick a Side? | Dr Carlene Starck

    Protein vs Fibre: Do You Have to Pick a Side? | Dr Carlene Starck Social media has turned protein and fibre into rival camps - one side says we are all under-eating protein, the other says we are wrecking our guts by skipping fibre.

If you work as a health coach, sports nutritionist, clinical nutritionist, or any professional helping people make better nutrition decisions, Translating Nutrition will help change how you think about nutrition advice. You’ll discover why evidence-based nutrition is more than memorising studies, how to cut through conflicting advice, and why clinical context matters more than internet certainty.
