The Art & Science of Breathing & Respiration with Shane Saunders Jan 14, 2022

Show notes

Today I chat with an old mate and former colleague, Shane Saunders. Shane is an ex-military guy who has gone from being an expert in physical training to an expert in the art and science of breathing and respiration. Shane and his wife Ange spent years travelling the world learning from a range of breathwork masters and now run their own business teaching people how to breathe properly, called Breathe Me.
In this episode, we unpack the mechanics of respiration and its impact on the nervous system, cellular biology and human behaviour and it's very cool stuff.
Check out Shane and Ange at breatheme.com and check out their courses here:

Why building and using muscle should be top of your New Years Resolution list. Jan 08, 2022

Show notes

Today I’m going to talk about the importance of skeletal muscle, and the relatively recent discovery of a class of proteins released by muscle that drive communication at a celluar level, called myokines. It’s the time for New Year’s resolutions and my aim is to convince you that building and using muscle regularly should be very high up your list of resolutions.

The world health Organisation has called physical inactivity the 4th most serious global health risk, behind only tobacco use, high blood pressure and high blood glucose and this podcast will explain why that is.

Sweet Poison & Toxic Oils with the arch-disruptor, David Gillespie Dec 04, 2021

Show notes

My guest today is David Gillespie - a lawyer and the best-selling author of Sweet Poison, a book that is generally credited with starting the current wave of sugar awareness in Australia.

He followed Sweet Poison up with 8 more books – most of them about nutrition and diet, with another book on education and another one on surviving contact with psychopaths in the workplace and at home.
In today's podcast we focus mainly on the serious health effects of sugar, especially the fructose element (remember that table sugar is half glucose and half fructose) and seed oils (which are misrepresented as vegetable oils).
You can check out David's books and plethora of resources on his website - and I highly recommend that you do.
