You’ve just eaten a burger, and some chips…and a few slices of pizza…and washed it down with some ice-cream and now you’re regretting the whole situation and feeling pretty damn uncomfortable.

So in this episode, I’m going to show you how I would troubleshoot this situation with a client of mine if someone reached out to me and said that they had massively over-eaten - because you’re a human, you have taste buds, and this ...

In this week’s episode I’m excited to have friend, personal trainer, photographer and business owner Jenny Chan back behind the mic.

Jen has completed the 75 HARD Program (by entrepreneur Andy Frisella) not once, but twice, and although it’s often perceived as a fitness or weightloss challenge, what we find out is that it’s far more about mindset, mental resilience and forging a level of self-belief that carries over into ...

So in this episode I show you how I would troubleshoot these situations with clients I work with - I look at when you should eat breakfast, what you should eat for breakfast, how to manage your morning routine to better allow you to eat breakfast, and if ...

In this episode I’m talking all things protein powder because, quite frankly, supplement stores aren’t always the most accurate (or… impartial) source of information.

If I’ve done my job well, then hopefully this episode should leave you knowing the difference between a WPI and a WPC, what to look for in a good protein powder, and if you actually need to be including protein powder in your diet.

Enjoy!

“I’m in a calorie deficit but I’m not losing weight - what am I doing wrong?” is one of the most common phrases I hear as a Sports Nutritionist.

And I completely understand how frustrating this can be when, despite your best efforts, you feel like you’re spinning your wheels.

But (hopefully!) I can help. In this episode I explain what a calorie deficit is, and also look at how I would trouble-shoot this situation...
