Why We Need To Kill The Quick-Fix Mentality, With Dietitian, Exercise Physiologist & Powerhouse Businesswoman, Kate Save Jun 14, 2024

Show notes

Today I have a great and wide-ranging discussion with the very knowledgable over-achiever, Kate Save, who, amongst many things, is the founder of Be Fit Food.

We start with Kate's amazing health back-story, which spurned her life-long interest in this area and put her on a mission to help others. We then explore metabolic health in detail and in particular, the interactive roles of diet and exercise and the widespread effects on metabolic health from good and bad habits in these areas.

We also delve into how to fix and sub-optimal metabolism and Kate also gives us her view on the downsides of the block-buster weight-loss drugs on the market.

Check out her website for a wide array of products and services, including weight-loss programs and healthy pre-made real food.

I loved this conversation.

Professor Bill Sullivan researches the impact of microbes, pathogens and parasites and how they influence not only human health, but human behaviour. Bill is a very engaging communicator and takes us on a very enjoyable journey on how these hidden forces affect the behaviour of animals and humans alike, and we explore the potential treatments and ethical considerations that arise.

Why We Need To Stop Deferring Life & Happiness, With 'The Bucket List Guy' Travis Bell May 31, 2024

Show notes

Today is ostensibly a conversation about bucket lists, but it is a much deeper, thought-provoking conversation about actually living life, rather than deferring it until you retire, which many people do.

Travis, like myself, started out in the fitness industry many years ago, but has evolved into personal development apace and helping people live their best lives. We discuss Travis' own journey, which started out as a successful Fitness Industry entrepreneur, and the driver to re-invent himself and start living his best life. We then go into the idea of a bucket list and a reverse bucket list, and how to put some structure around those things.

Check out Travis' website for his blogs, awesome book and options to have him speak to your organisation.
