    Episode #167 Relative energy deficiency in sport (REDs)

    During this episode I learn more about Relative energy deficiency in sport and take you along for the ride.   REDs is a condition relating to energy in vs energy out. It’s often talked about in the context of elite level sport, training and its potential negative health and performance effects on athletes and individuals.  During this episode I talk about common topics being discussed surrounding REDs, clinical guidelines that are available to help practitioners better understand REDs, as well the topic of sport culture’s influence on athletes perception of body weight, body fat, body composition and weight management.  *Episode Resources* Mountjoy M et al.

    Episode #165 Wellness & goal setting with Matt Banks

    During this episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Matt Banks. Matt is Massage Therapist and coach practicing in Halifax, Nov Scotia in Canada. Matt is a long time friend and colleague. My intent for this conversation turned out much different than I originally had planned. Much of our conversation centred around goal setting and trying to unpack what is mean to be well.  Matt outlines some of things he finds important when tackling the topics of movement, pain, wellness and maybe most importantly goal setting. I’ve always valued goal setting but I think this conversation has made me see it in a new light, for many of the reason Matt outlines during this conversation.  What does wellness mean to you? Comment below.
