In this episode, I delve into the complexities of weight gain and loss, emphasising that the struggle is not a matter of willpower but rather biological and evolutionary factors. I explain how our bodies are designed to store fat as a survival mechanism and discusses the concept of metabolic adaptation, where the body adjusts to calorie deficits.

I advocate for a shift in perspective towards sustainable habits, focusing on nourishing the body, enjoying movement, prioritizing sleep, managing stress, and staying hydrated.

Ultimately, encouraging listeners to liberate themselves from guilt and unrealistic expectations, fostering a healthier relationship with their bodies.

When are you going to stop dieting?' - If you've heard this comment after eating a salad, this episode is for you.

I break down the difference between being 'on a diet' (temporary restriction) and having a diet (how you actually eat), why processed food became 'normal' while vegetables became 'diet food', and how to handle the inevitable comments without losing your mind.

I chat with Natasha Morey, Miss Universe winner turned mother, about her journey through fitness, motherhood, and the challenges of balancing both.

Natasha shares her early influences in fitness, her transition to bodybuilding, and the struggles she faced during competitions. She discusses the impact of pregnancy and miscarriage on her fitness journey and how she discovered Hyrox training as a new passion. The conversation highlights the importance of flexibility, patience, and finding joy in fitness, especially for new mothers.

Natasha emphasises the significance of raising a fit family and the positive influence of a healthy lifestyle on children.
