Life won’t wait - we get one shot - and you are in the driver's seat.  You can Do Hard Things.  I’m Danni Duncan…featured fitness and nutrition coach, author, speaker and mum of 4 amazing kiddies (including twins). Online I’ve shared it all, my pregnancy journeys, miscarriages, why you SHOULDN’T be eating cereal for breakfast, how to make the perfect sourdough and helping you to see that YOU can do hard things.  The things I’ve said online have often got me into a bit of trouble, and its because I’m not afraid to call people out on their shit … I’m not afraid to discuss taboo topics and I don’t believe that any of us need to live an average life where we do what society is telling us is ‘normal’ … instead its our job to question “Why is that normal?” And is that what we want for our own life?  This podcast is going to be a space where I chat to experts (and share my own thoughts) on WHY we aren’t living our full potential.  Where you can get the facts that will help you to get your happiness, motivation and confidence back.  Taking the first steps can be hard, but I’m here to help you make it a little easier to face your fears and live your best life - every, single, day.  I will make you feel uncomfortable, I will make you think differently but you may just wanna hear it.   If you want to make this year the year that you do something for yourself, you’re in the right space.

  1. Are your taste preferences even your own? What artificial flavours and additives are doing to our brains (and your kids!) with Jo from Additive Free Lifestyle

    Are your taste preferences even your own? What artificial flavours and additives are doing to our brains (and your kids!) with Jo from Additive Free Lifestyle

    Right now there is SO much chatter around ultra-processed foods. We’ve got headlines about processed meats and cancer risk, food companies being sued in the US, and suddenly the term UPF (or ultraprocessed foods) is everywhere. And yet I think most people are still pretty confused because the food companies have deliberately made it difficult to figure out. You walk through the supermarket and you see things like: natural flavours no added sugar no added MSG gluten free …and it all sounds pretty healthy. But when you turn the packet around, the ingredient list can tell a very different story. Today I’m chatting with Jo from Additive Free Lifestyle to talk about it all - you’ve probably seen her stuff online before because she is an absolute powerhouse in this space.  A taste of what you’ll hear: > The first things you should be looking at when reading ingredients list at the supermarket > What to do when everyone around you keeps trying to feed your kids treats and sugar > The most common marketing claims you should avoid > How are ‘flavours’ even made (this one will shock you) > The effects ultraprocessed foods are having on our appetites and taste preferences  > Approaching birthday parties when you don’t want your kids to come home with insane energy levels > What it’s really like to live without ultra-processed foods > The difference Jo saw in her daughter’s behaviour as soon as she started cutting out snacks with artificial flavouring … and SO much more If you want more of Jo and are keen to see her tips, you can check her out on IG @additivefreelifestyle or visit her website www.additivefreelifestyle.com.

  2. Belly Fat in Midlife: How to Get Rid of it + What Are Your Hormones Doing? With Nutritionist Amelia Phillips

    Belly Fat in Midlife: How to Get Rid of it + What Are Your Hormones Doing? With Nutritionist Amelia Phillips

    Why does weight loss in midlife suddenly feel impossible? You’re told to eat less… but more protein. Fast… but don’t stress your hormones. Lift weights… but also prioritise recovery. Sleep more… but also train harder. And then when none of it works the way it used to, you’re told: “It’s your hormones.” So you think, great, I’ll fix my hormones. And then that doesn’t magically fix your weight either. Today we’re actually going to untangle this properly. I’m joined by Amelia Phillips - nutritionist, exercise scientist, and someone who spends a lot of time working with women in midlife navigating exactly this. I’m asking Amelia questions like: > How to do you know if you’re pre peri-menopausal, peri-menopausal or menopausal > What actually changes during the body in perimenopause that affects weight specifically? > Does fasting create more stress and inflammation for women? > Who should definitely avoid fasting? > How do I increase my protein while still reducing my calories? … and SO much more If you want more from Amelia, follow her on IG @_amelia_phillips or listen to her podcast Healthy Her on Apple or Spotify.

    Calling Out Some of the Biggest Lies in the Fitness Industry with Diren Kartal

    The fitness industry is louder than ever. Scroll for five minutes and you’ll see someone telling you the only way to lose fat, what supplements you need, and what you should never eat… And yet somehow, one half of it contradicts the other half. So today I’m chatting with Diren Kartal, an online coach who’s built a huge following in the fitness space and isn’t afraid to call out the BS. We talk about the biggest lies in the industry, why they spread so easily, and how becoming a dad has changed the way he approaches coaching. Stick around to find out: > The biggest lie in the fitness industry that actually harms people > Why telling someone “you can do anything” isn’t always helpful > The problem with before and after photos in fitness marketing > Why supplements are pushed so aggressively online > Whether honesty is actually bad for business in the fitness industry > Why most new online coaches skip the part that actually makes them good at coaching > The difference between a good coach and a bad one > What becoming a dad changed for Diren personally and professionally > Whether AI will replace coaching in the future … and SO much more If you want more of Diren, you can follow him on IG @diren.kartal If you want to try Hyro, you can get 50% off your first subscription at www.drinkhyro.com/danniduncan You’ll also get a free welcome kit, flavour sample pack, free shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

    Collagen, Peptides, GLP-1, Anti-Inflammatories, Cortisol… Let’s Talk Supplements with Health Educator Emma

    Women care about their health. The industry knows that… And it’s profiting from your fear. There are more supplements than ever - peptides, anti-inflammation, prebiotics, probiotics, bone broth, metabolism “fixes”, reducing your cortisol… and yet women are more confused than ever. If supplements were the answer to fat loss, wouldn’t we all be sorted by now? Today I’m talking to Emma, a health, fitness and wealth educator who helps intelligent women stop wasting time, energy and money on wellness bullsh*t. Stick around to find out: Why there are suddenly SO many supplements in the market Is biohacking just marketing? Is there any value for the everyday person? Are anti inflammatory diets worth it Should you be worried about your cortisol levels and high intensity exercise? Is one exercise a week enough to see significant change in your body? Symptoms that look like perimenopause but aren’t (this is good news!) … and SO much more If you want to work with Emma, check out her IG @esgfitness or website www.esgfitness.co.uk Listen to Emma’s podcast ESGfitness on Spotify or Apple.  If you want to try Hyro, you can get 50% off your first subscription at www.drinkhyro.com/danniduncan You’ll also get a free welcome kit, flavour sample pack, free shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

    The Secret Behind Fixing Your Health Issues: Bloating, Fatigue, Mood and Sex Drive

  6. 28% Lower Recurrence: What Every Bowel Cancer Patient Should Know ft Molly from Strength Squad

    28% Lower Recurrence: What Every Bowel Cancer Patient Should Know ft Molly from Strength Squad

    You can prevent 15 - 20% of bowel cancers through exercise. Even just walking works to reduce that risk. But not only that - chemo and cancer related fatigue can be alleviated through exercise too. I felt all of these benefits when I was going through chemotherapy for Stage 2 Bowel Cancer last year. Yes, some days it was hard - I won’t deny it. I remember doing a few body squats and needing to rest for a couple minutes each time but you know what? Moving my body in any capacity helped. So today I wanted to talk to the incredible Molly from Strength Squad - which is dedicated to helping people who have been diagnosed with bowel cancers (from diagnosis to post chemo) start moving their bodies and fight the cancer. Not only is Molly trained in providing oncology support for cancer patients but you’ll be moving alongside a group of people going through the exact same situation as you. The in person sessions are in South Yarra but Molly is opening up online groups mid March. You can check it out here. Stick around to find out: The landmark study that showed a 28% reduction in recurrence and a 37% reduction in risk of death How up to 20% of bowel cancers could be prevented through movement How exercise activates cancer-fighting cells and supports chemotherapy What’s really happening inside your body when you strength train during treatment Why losing muscle during chemo can quietly make everyday life harder Why “just rest” isn’t always the answer to chemo fatigue How to move your body when you’re nauseated, exhausted and scared The exact amount of exercise that actually changes outcomes (it’s less than you think) … and SO much more Want more of Molly and Strength Squad?

    Running Coach: How to Start Running, Get Better and Actually Enjoy It with Tim Bliss

    So many people tell me they want to start running. And then a few weeks later they’re injured, exhausted, or convinced they’re “just not a runner.” I’ve been there. I still remember heading out for my first 5K thinking I was going to absolutely nail it… and barely making it a few hundred metres before questioning all of my life choices. Running can feel amazing. It’s been one of the best things I’ve ever done for my mental health. But it can also feel hard, frustrating, and confusing… especially when the internet makes it look effortless. So today I’ve brought on someone who actually knows what he’s talking about. I’m chatting with Tim Bliss, a running coach, triathlete, and the mind behind my 16 week marathon plan. We’re chatting about everything from progress, recovery and what to prioritise when you have limited time. Key moments: 1:26 -   The smartest way to start running (and why most people make it harder than it needs to be) 3:134 - The biggest mistakes in the first 4–6 weeks that lead to burnout or injury 8:16 - Why runners plateau even when they’re “training hard” plus a simple test to know if you’re actually improving 10:15 - The first thing to adjust if you want to get faster (without just running more) 13:10 -  What separates runners who improve year after year from those who stay stuck 14:27 - Is running twice a week enough to see progress? Here’s how to structure it properly 16:23 - What recovery actually looks like when you have a full-time job (and limited time) 17:18 - The most common running injuries and how strength training can help prevent them 18:46 - Is soreness a good sign… or a red flag? 21:42 - Inside my 16-week marathon plan: what Tim prioritised first 23:20 - Can someone go from beginner to marathon in 16 weeks? 24:03 - How to approach back-to-back marathons without wrecking your body 26:17 - The simplest way to set your next running goal so it feels achievable If you loved this episode and you want more guidance with your own running, you can find Tim over on Instagram at @performancebliss1 If you need a push to take control of your health - download my app FIT by Danni Duncan or sign up for coaching.  I also share all of my health and fitness tips over on IG @danni.duncan_ so if you want more, make sure you join me over there.

    Why did no one tell us THIS about Queensland? The Update with Chris (Part 2)

    Seriously, nobody told us this about moving to Queensland?! As of recording this, we still don’t have a house so next time you hear from us we might be minus a kidney or have started a OF account. But besides that - a lot has happened..
