The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Why a GP is the last person to listen to about healthy living...other than your crazy aunt Jan 10, 2021

Show notes

Peter waffles for 25 minutes talking about why GPs are the last people to listen to about healthy living. Other than that crazy aunt who "doesn't believe in vaccines", of course.
This in response to an email about last week's podcast in which he mentioned that some people, GPs, shouldn't be writing books about healthy eating and living.
Also, in HPNB podcast related news; Peter is doing a TONNE of interviews over the next few weeks with various experts and specialists so keep your eyes out for those episodes coming up.
In the news this week, other than the obvious Trump related stuff, there was this litte "nugget" about teachers being at much higher risk of catching Covid than the general population. And it's worth reminding pregnant, and newly post-partum women why being extra careful is a good idea.

Send us Fan Mail

Peter waffles, and rants, for a whole 36 minutes talking about how the health and fitness industry is designed to make you fail, and how to avoid falling into those traps.
From, "You need to exercise 3 x 1hr a week" which you hear in all gyms, to "Buy my weightloss book because I'm a GP", "Veganuary" and "28 day challenges", he's covering everything in this episode.
"In the news this week"; It's the first week of the New Year so all the papers are filled with weightloss books and diet books. Usually from people whose books you really don't need to buy.
He goes through this terribly headlined article by Dr Rangan Chatterjee or this outrageously ridiculous nonsense peddled as SMART by Dr Michael Mosley.
If you are looking for a straight-up weightloss thing then Peter has a suggestion for that as well.

Peter waffles for 25 minutes as he goes through his 3 favourite Fitness Youtube channels.
AthleanX
Redefining Strength
Vahva Fitness
And then he talks briefly about the importance of understanding what your needs and likes are when choosing a coach/personal trainer. As the above channels show, they are all phenomenal at what they do but they also all have a very different approach. the same goes for Personal Trainers you choose to work with. Just because someone has a post-natal certification that doesn't mean they will be the right fit for you.
"In the news this week"; 5G, oh yes, the Telecommunications masts. After reading this article about a British Lib Dem MP ( Wera Hobhouse) joining the mass ranks of the ill-informed Peter couldn't help himself and thought it best to point out why you shouldn't always listen to politicians.

Peter waffles for 25 minutes and answers 2 questions;
Can you help heal Diastasis Recti during pregnancy?
and;
Do Ab-wraps work for healing Diastasis?
"In the news this week";
It's this article about Prof. Anne Abbot who made the "crazy" suggestion that lifestyle changes could help prevent strokes. It's very interesting how many people still don't believe that the SINGLE most important thing is your lifestyle. And this goes for absolutely anything to do with health.

The fat dietician. "Do as I say, don't do as I do" Dec 13, 2020

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Peter waffles for half an hour telling the story of "the fat dietician" (her words, not mine) or "giving people advice when you don't follow any yourself" and the trappings of this. How is it unhealthy for YOU to give others advice?. "Do as I say, not as I do" being one of the most stupid sayings someone can actually utter.
He also talks about the podcast going back to once a week again and the new format!
That's right, we have a format now!
With a new segment called "In the news this week" where the focus is on a health-related story that made the news this week. A little in-depth look where we go through whatever story and answer some questions about that, provide some clarity about it that usually goes missing in the newspapers. Today it's a very brief one on this little article on the BBC website about a report released this week that stated that "summer holidays were a trigger for the second wave" which, to Peter at least, was a real "Like, DUH Obv!" moment.

Why you can't lose weight Dec 09, 2020

Peter talks about eating and exercise for weightloss. Why is it soo difficult for people to lose weight by doing what has worked for others? Why is there no one size fits all solution?...or is there? Just not in the way that one diet works for everyone.
Why do people get "intuitive eating" wrong?
It's not complicated, in fact it might be more straightforward than you think, but it does require some effort.

Focus on the right thing Dec 02, 2020

Peter waffles about focus in this episode.
Watching an episode of Cesar Milan's "Dog Whisperer" reminded him to chat about focus as it's something he brings up with his clients a lot but doesn't mention on the podcast too often. So whether you're trying to train a puppy, an old dog or are struggling with your own training/ diet etc. a little bit, this episode is for you.
The importance of NOT focussing on what you want to achieve but instead focussing on what you NEED to do. It's a really important distinction.
