    Bullet Points | The Courage to Be Disliked

    I've just finished reading The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga so thought this Bullet Points could be a book review of sorts. I've summarised what I think they key takeaways are and how I think it can be helpful and if you'd like to me to do something similar/the same for another book, let me know by emailing me at office@emmaguns.com 📧 Contact me: office@emmaguns.com 👓 Read me: Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/ Follow me: 📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ Hosted on Acast.

    Everything you need to know about protein. Plus, building muscle, losing fat and eating for longevity.

    I had a huge response on Instagram when I shared the best information I’ve ever heard when it comes to why protein is such an important macro nutrient. For that reason, I thought I’d share it with you again in case you missed it first time around. Right now, you can’t move for protein printed across most food packaging. Even chocolate bars have got in on the action, producing ‘high protein’ varieties of their sweet snacks to try to sell them as a key component of a healthy, balanced diet. How can this be junk food when it contains protein? What’s the truth?  In 2021 I interviewed Dr Gabrielle Lyon, a double-board certified family physician trained in geriatric nutritional sciences who focuses on skeletal muscle to support longevity.  It was her work with geriatric patients that highlighted the importance of maintaining lean muscle in order to live well into older age and to avoid a plethora of health issues. The fact this conversations pre-dates the obsession with protein adds, I think, real value to Gabrielle’s expertise because it was long before every ‘health expert’ was talking about protein on podcasts.  This conversation actually fundamentally changed how I eat and, since we spoke, I’ve been focusing on a high protein diet for all the reasons she describes during this conversation - not least to get lean while building muscle.

    I'm so angry, I could cry. Frustrations in the gym, missed parcels, overwhelm and not being like other podcasts.

    It's all been a bit much lately, to be honest. Turns out, a 'sorry we missed you' notification on a day when I had WAITED IN ALL MORNING was the straw that broke the camel's back. The real lesson here is that I need to refresh my coping mechanisms because something as trivial as missing a delivery, albeit for a replacement internet router because my one inexplicably gave up a few days ago, shouldn't be the thing that makes me cry. 📧 Contact me: office@emmaguns.com 👓 Read me: Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/ Follow me: 📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ Hosted on Acast.

    Being scared of getting older, feeling pumped up and some great beauty finds.

    I spoke about this over my Substack this week but, my word, the new series of And Just Like That has made me feel really scared about getting older. What happened to the dynamic, powerful women from Sex and the City - I want them back! Also, my latest weight loss update is one I wasn't expecting. The pump from the gym feels great but after weeks of feeling leaner, it's surprising to feel swollen all of a sudden. Oh, and some incredible beauty finds: Self Glow by James Read Yepoda Porefect Pads Lisa Eldridge Desert Gleam Ziip Halo. *contains affiliate links. 📧 Contact me: office@emmaguns.com 👓 Read me: Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/ Follow me: 📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ Hosted on Acast.

    Joining a Gym, Tittle-Tattle & Wild Swimming

    ✍🏼 Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843 Joining a Gym, Tittle-Tattle & Wild Swimming | The Emma Guns Show 🏋🏽‍♀️ This week marks a new chapter in my body recomposition chapter. After training with my friend and coach, Emma Storey-Gordon of The EC Method fame, I decided it was time to hit 'diesel mode' and join a gym. I've achieved LOADS with dumbbells in my living room, but to really see and feel those gains, I felt it was time to get to the gym, use the machines and start lifting more with a wider selection of weights. Who's with me?! 👹 I knew discussing diet, fitness and weight loss would invite criticism and nastiness but this episode marks the last time we'll talk about it. From now on, it's block, delete and move on. 🏊🏽 I went on the most incredible trip with OSKIA last week and, among other things, went wild swimming, which was an absolute revelation. 👗 In this video I'm wearing: Mango off-the-shoulder t-shirt. *contains affiliate links. 📧 Contact me: office@emmaguns.com 👓 Read me: Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/ Follow me: 📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ Hosted on Acast.

    Trolls, Defending Jeremy Clarkson and How to Look Online.

    This episode is brought to you by a migraine. If it feels all over the place, it's because I'm all over the place today thanks to a humdinger of a migraine that's left me feeling like a slightly lopsided, cloth-tongued, weepy-eyed wimp. With that said, there are things to discuss. Such as the reaction to my weight loss, why I want to defend Jeremy Clarkson and why being slightly 'perfect' online gets more engagement. From the woman who this afternoon posted a 'fashion' reel on Instagram with smudged eye makeup and her glasses on because of aforementioned migraine. Anyway, let me know your thoughts on all of this, whether it's on email office@emmaguns.com, on Instagram @emmaguns or over on my Substack. Hosted on Acast.
