If you’ve got kids, listen to this one with headphones on. There’s a little swearing😂

He actually just wrote a book called Eat It. He’s also really strong - at one point, he could deadlift 4x his body weight! He was also Gary V's trainer for 3 years.

Leo is a trainer in LA, and I love his content so much that I thought it’d be fun to talk about dairy with him and all the misconceptions around it. Back in the day, I thought I was being healthy by cutting dairy from my diet....I also went through a stage where I made my own almond milk 🤣 what a bloody ball ache that was!
In this episode, Leo and I discuss:
➡️How dairy became so demonised
➡️Why is dairy good for us
➡️Why oat and almond milk aren’t good substitutes for dairy

#137 - Can I drink alcohol and reach my body and health goals with Craig McDonald
In this podcast, we’re talking about booze! If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I used to drink a lot, I was a loose cannon 🤣 For a long time I used it to have fun and as a coping mechanism.
I still love alcohol but I don't love how excessive drinking makes me feel.
I don’t drink much anymore. I just can’t handle the hangover and lack of sleep. I’ll have a few cocktails when we go out with friends or over holidays, but no more crazy binges!
So, the question: Can you drink alcohol and reach your body goals and health? Technically, yes BUT… (listen to this podcast episode to find out more!)

#136 - Losing 22.5 kgs, improving her thyroid issues and eliminating PMS with Katie Littlejohn
Katie is 45 years old and is a public servant working in Western Sydney. She has been obsessed with food her whole life. As an adult, she was either following a diet or binge eating. And she (like me) used to think sugar was poison!
But today, Katie has found newfound freedom. She’s lost 22.5 kgs, doesn’t think of food 24-7, and no longer experiences PMS. She’s also managed to combat previous thyroid issues through this pro-metabolic way of eating, and hasn’t touched alcohol in 12 months!
In this episode, Katie and I chat about:
➡️Past restrictive diets Katie followed
➡️The all-consuming thoughts revolving around food
➡️How Katie lost 22.5 kgs (and maintained it!)
➡️PMS (and the improvements she’s seen)
➡️How many calories she now eats each day
➡️How she found food freedom

#135 - How to approach your training and nutrition while on holiday with Craig McDonald
A lot of our clients ask us how to approach their training and nutrition while on holidays. I used to be in this mentality where I would restrict leading up to a holiday, then I would use the holiday as a binge, free-for-all. I’d drink a heap of alcohol every day and eat sh*t food. Then, after my holidays, I’d go right back to the restrictive diet.
I don’t do that anymore, and I definitely didn’t do that on Craig and I’s most recent holiday, so we thought this would be a good one to hop on and discuss! In this episode, we chat about:
➡️What we tell our clients to do when on holidays when it comes to nutrition and training
➡️What happens if you go off track on holidays
➡️How much damage can you actually do
➡️What we did during our recent holiday
➡️Training on holidays
➡️What to do when you get back
And more!
