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

We assume more calories leads to more body-fat, but what about when it doesn't? I just want you to use this example to form your own opinion. Nuance matters. Context matters. There are no real answers, just better guidelines, for you, right now.

In this episode I reply to a DM from a follower who messages looking for advice on what to do when large packets of sweets are open regularly and willpower seems weak. I believe this is a skill and mindset more than a "willpower" issue. 

Some of the worst mistakes I see from this one trainers point of view   1. Focusing on the little details and neglecting those that matter   2. Black vs white/ good vs bad thinking   3. Too many changes at once   4. Mismanagement of the scale

7 great lessons from my 100 episodes to date.   They include not being in such a rush, hedonic adaptation amongst others
