In this episode with Kate Deering author of How to heal your metabolism we dive into all things coronavirus. Kate and I discuss what you can be doing during these times of stress to not only curb your stress, but also protect your health and improve your immunity.

The truth: You have a choice HOW you react to the current situation.

In the past, when times were stressful, I used to hit the piss. The old me would have had a few drinks every night to take the edge off, and I would go and eat shit food to cope. Now, I focus on what I CAN do. I’m much more proactive - and I don’t deal with life’s stressors by downing a bottle anymore and trying to escape.

Instead, I continue to do my meal plans. I continue to train. I go out and get my sun each day. It’s about controlling your controllables. These small things you do each day can give you that certainty back when...

In the last two years... I’ve been sick twice - and once was food poisoning.

In our recent podcast, I caught up with Tommo Littlewood. Tommo has been in the health and fitness industry for over 20 years. He has a masters in endocrinology. He also follows Dr Ray Peat’s work, and helps individuals solve their metabolic and hormonal issues so that they can live their best lives.

In this episode, we talk about all things you need to know to keep your body robust and healthy during these stressful and uncertain times, including what foods you need to be eating. We also answer some commonly asked client questions, such as dealing with stress and thyroid issues, and separating fact from fiction when it comes to virus prevention. With lockdowns happening worldwide, it’s about doing the best you can.

Some...

“I am still feeling really lethargic and my hair is falling out.”

“I still have hot sweats and can’t sleep at night.”

“I’m so incredibly moody and have irregular periods?”

SO! The question is...Are blood tests really a good indication of what is happening in the body?

In this interview with Tommo Littlewood we discuss:

Why blood tests are not always good indicators of health

What things your doctor really should consider when taking blood tests

What specific indicators you would look for if you have low thyroid function

High cholesterol and what it actually means

How your external factors contribute to your thyroid function

We also discuss the two simple and free tests you can perform yourself which can help you...

One of the biggest party months of the year with Christmas parties, gatherings, alcohol and sh*tty food.

The temptation and peer pressure to drink and eat copious amounts of food is high, you don’t want to miss out on a “good time”.

You stress about the calories so you restrict throughout the day so you can binge on alcohol and then binge on food to curb your cravings later.

Sounds like a merry-go-round of f*ckery to me! One that I used to be on also.

I remember up until 4 years ago, when this time of year came around, I would restrict my calories leading into the holidays because I knew that I was approaching a 2-week bender of binge drinking, binge eating and feeling like sh*t. My mentality back then was “So I can have fun, I need to restrict”.

Not to mention I was completely unhappy in myself so I drank to drown my sorrows away.

January 1st hit, the “New Year, New Me” set in and I thought all...

In this episode, we talk about female hormones and how there is a huge misconception that when a woman experiences painful and irregular periods or menopausal symptoms that she needs more estrogen. I remember when I was younger and I went to the doctors with heavy and painful periods they just put me on the pill! We discuss the implications of low calorie, quick-fix diets on women's hormones and what you can do to educate yourself so you can balance your hormones, improve your sleep, energy, mood, digestion and sex drive as well as build a body you love! Looking better starts...

In this episode, we talk about all the dumb diets we've done and how Emma shifted my view on nutrition. We talk about her work, the people she has worked with, sugar and why women are in so much trouble metabolically and hormonally.
