Food For Thought - the Podcast

Season 3 Ep 3 - Is it Really All About the Macros?

Could it be that it's really just as simple as counting your macros - those carbs, proteins and fats and you will soon be rockin' that beach body? Or is there something that "they" aren't telling you. Join Heather and I as we tackle this next myth - is it nutritional accountability or a bald-faced lie? Find out by hearing some real life numbers to see whether this is a dream come true or nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

Season 3 Ep 2 - De-Myth-tifying Spot Reduction

Join Jeremy Peressini and I as we talk about how the myth around being able to crunch your way to a 6-pack may have come to be and what we need to know about carrying on with trying to achieve the potentially impossible. What are the other things we need to think about when we are doing activity, whether that is living an active lifestyle or "working out"? What are our goals and how have they been impacted by the mythology around weight, health, nutrition and fitness?

Season 2 Episode 5 - Side D - The Importance of Social Support

In this last episode of Season 2, Nicole and I take a look at the role of the Social Determinants of Health, specifically, Social Support, on how we can continue on our journey to wellness when things aren't as easy as they might once have been. Between the pandemic and daily stressors, without social support (and we'll look at different ones) it's really hard to stay the course. We all need help from time to time, and when there are systems in place to provide that support, it's easier for us to keep fighting the good fight!
