One trap we can fall into is the "All or Nothing, Black VS White" mindset. With weight-management, this can manifest itself as "On the diet/Off the diet" Awareness is the first step to not fall into this trap.

My favourite topic-- life.  Today I chat to Kevin Russell, co-host of the BeHuman Podcast about what it means to be human. We talk about depression, anxiety, personal struggle, imposter syndrome, gratitude, fitness and how hard times lead to good times.  Kevin is an eloquent speaker with a great message to share. Join us!

I chat with Martin MacDonald, founder of Mac Nutrition University, about Evidence-based Nutrition, his new Layperson nutrition course, how Science and Social Justice can clash, HAES/Weight-stigma, Bias prevention, How to think critically, Cancel-culture, Call-out culture and a number of other things related to, and away from nutrition. Martin is a sharp story-teller so I'm sure you will love this one. Tune in!

My online client Damien has lost 5 stone since July. In this episodes he talks about masculinity, vulnerability, how to enjoy the process, happiness and long-term success. This episode is an amazing summary of the process of uncovering and discarding new parts of oneself. 

It's every trainers nightmare to not follow through with the result for their client. My ex-client Shane shares his story as to why we could not get to the goal together. He has since gone on to lose 30kg afterwards. 

I have given bad advice in the past-- from a place of love. That doesn't justify it. I've taken the lesson. Loosen the hold on our attachments. Don't just jump from extreme to extreme. 

Recently my client Lisa had her 70lb progress photo stolen to falsely promote the Keto-diet. The theft was one thing, but under-mining behaviour change and hard work to exploit the insecurities of many is another. Let me share this story with you. 

Client Steve (Steves_weight_loss) returns to discuss how getting rid of the Fuck-it button (Fuck-it mindset) can be a life-changing experience 

An amazing story involving hitting rock bottom and a journey to get mentally and physically healthier and drop 50 lbs in the process

My own personal growth comes in no small part from talking to my clients as humans. In no particular order, here are 6 client conversations that impacted my coaching philosophy

How my client Jean lost 50 pounds by breaking away from rigid food rules and yo-yo dieting

Mindfulness, living in alignment, over-coming injury, body-image and getting strong 

How you change your relationship with food forever

Perspective-- a particular attitude towards, or set of beliefs regarding something

Suicide, being a young mum, an incredible fat-loss journey and starting her own coaching service

We all hear terms like "metabolism", "clean eating" and "processed food", but do we actually understand these terms?  If not, how can we make decisions with them at the forefront of our mind?

In this episode I highlight real examples of the disconnect between a healthy lifestyle versus an all-consuming "fitness" lifestyle

In this episode myself and Steve (good friend and old client) chat about the difference between holding on to other peoples words in a beneficial way versus letting them slide off like water off a ducks back

We often see the "after", but what about that messy phase in the middle where all the character is made? Grainne reflects on her progress to date-- half way to the goal she set herself earlier this year
