🎙️Episode 188 of the Self Made Podcast: Diet & Exercise alone is not enough for health with Bryan Walsh is now live!

I’ve been following the work of Dr Bryan Walsh my entire career. In fact I don’t think there is a bigger expert on functional nutrition, physiology and blood work around.

So I knew this episode would be special but I wasn’t prepared for quite how impactful it would be.

The concept of health can be overwhelming even for us coaches with people fighting over calories vs hormones, toxins and seed oils this episode dives into the lot.

How does our health really work and why we need to start looking at how our cells function.

But while much of this comes down to our activity and our nutrition there is one part we rarely talk about and that’s community and lifestyle.

We are in a loneliness epidemic effecting not only our mental health but also our physical health. It was amazing to hear Bryan talk about the role his faith has played in his life and discuss why people of faith tend to be healthier and happier.

This conversation goes to many levels and in my mind a must listen if you’re a fan of the show.

🎙️Episode 186 of the Self Made Podcast: The Menopause what a coach needs to know with Dr Carrie Jones is now live!

As coaches we can have the biggest impact on the health of our clients. People often go to visit doctors when things have already progressed and make a visit every few years. As coaches we speak to our clients more frequently and can influence how our clients eat, act, feel and behave more than any other sector.

This why it is our duty to understand the health of our clients at a deeper level than purely calories. This is why it is an honour to have Dr Carrie Jones join us on the show.

She lives and breaths the above responsibility. Working with patients, diving head first into the research, educating practitioners and even working to develop better testing methods.

In this conversation we discuss the complexities of hormonal health, particularly focusing on menopause and its impact on women's health, The importance of understanding the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause, the effects of yo-yo dieting, and the significance of gut health.

We also dive into the role of stress in exacerbating symptoms and offers practical strategies for managing these changes through lifestyle adjustments and dietary diversity.

🎙️Episode 184 of the Self Made Podcast: Should you blindly trust the science! With Acos Ashioti is now live!

The term evidence based has become one of the most overused terms in the industry.

Everyone claims to be an expert in the science arguing with each other and throwing around terms like misinformation.

But is everyone really an expert? Is science really that easy to read and interpret?

I can honestly tell you know with research being filled with complex terms, methods to dive into, P values and many other factors that may take a study you are so confident in and make it defunct.

This is why many simply only read the abstract or rely on what others have told them so no wonder it can be so confusing who to trust and learn from.

But this is what this episode with Acos is designed for. To help you understand what the science is really telling you.

From understanding the lingo, how to break down a paper, where is the line between evidence based and practical experience and more!

We also dive into some of the most debated topics from low carb to meal timing and find the middle ground of what’s true and what is worth pursuing with your clients.

What does it truly take to become an authority in the fitness industry? It is a complex question with manny possible answers and that is exactly what myself and this week's guest Jordan Shallow discuss in this conversation.

The industry seems to be leaning into the quick fix territory now more than ever with the race to 10k months, the tribalistic nature of reaction videos often coming before the graft and exploration it takes to become an outstanding coach at the top of their game.

In this show I dive into the what lead Jordan to where he is now. The bit you do not always see on instagram and what he feels it takes to be an outstanding coach.

We discusses the fear of judgment and the reluctance to make mistakes in the digital age. The role of community, communication, environment and becoming a master of your craft.

But one thing Jordan lives by and a piece of advice he gave me many years ago that is more true to me today than ever. To be a great coach it comes with being a better human! Whether that is personally, professionally or in the experiences we dive into head first.

He also has commited to be my first tag team partner and enforcer when I become a pro wrestler (holding you to that Jordan!)

In this episode we welcome Lewis Potts to the show.

Lewis aims to make coaching great again by encouraging coaches to implement more true coaching and communication into their services.

Client adherence is the biggest roadblock that I hear coaches have. they have a good knowledge of training and nutrition but this is useless if the client cannot stick to the plan. This is why this is something both myself and Lewis focus on heavily within our programs.

In this episode we discuss the importance of asking good questions and helping clients come to their own solutions. Why expectation management is the most important skill a coach should develop and why if you do not have boundaries as a coach you will not be helping anyone.

We also dive into the rise of concern for emotional eating and if it is something we really should worry too much about as exercise professionals as well as nature vs nurture in physique change.
