What if the secret to fitness success lies not in what you do, but when you do it? Join us for a journey that starts with an unexpected rise to TikTok fame as "top Liam," sparked by a quirky twist of the algorithm. We dive straight into a lively debate about morning workouts, comparing potential benefits like boosted energy and improved sleep quality. Yet, we emphasize that the perfect workout time is when it aligns with your personal rhythm, proving that fitness is not one-size-fits-all.
As we move further, we unravel some of the most stubborn fitness myths with a mix of humor and science. Is your spine more like a fishing rod than a brittle stick? Can muscle really turn into fat? We tackle these misconceptions head-on, shedding light on the truth behind weight, density, and the resilience of the human body. Our playful discussions reveal how misinformation spreads, sometimes driven by the lure of social media fame or the provocative nature of "rage bait."
Finally, our episode wraps up with a collection of practical fitness hacks and a reminder that consistency trumps all. From the benefits of fiber-rich foods and artificial sweeteners to the joys of rowing and the efficiency of assisted exercises, we offer insights that prioritize personal enjoyment in fitness routines. As Oakley and Pippin, our beloved pets, add their antics to the atmosphere, we ensure our listeners that more stories and insights are on the horizon, leaving you both informed and entertained.

Join us as we unravel the mysteries of food, nutrition, and body positivity with the ever-charming Mama Cusses.

You'll hear about practical healthy food swaps, like sneaking zucchini noodles into your spaghetti, and the importance of making changes out of self-love.
How do you foster a healthy relationship with food and body image in your kids while still grappling with your own struggles? This episode doesn't shy away from the tough questions. We discuss the significance of representation and the necessity of hearing from people of all body sizes. Mama Cusses shares valuable insights on using the right language to cultivate a positive food culture and understanding the genetic factors that influence body weight. We also explore effective strategies for talking to children about food, stressing a balanced viewpoint on nutritional foods versus indulgent treats.
Ever wonder why you can't stop munching on carrots or why chocolate feels like an instant mood lifter? We tackle quirky food obsessions and the humorous side effects of overconsumption, all while emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet. From the benefits of protein for muscle building to the pitfalls of 90s diet culture, we cover it all with plenty of laughs. We share our thoughts on the challenges and misconceptions around dietary aids like semaglutide and apple cider vinegar, and the frustrating misinformation spread by popular media. Tune in for an enlightening yet entertaining conversation that promises to leave you with a fresh perspective on food and nutrition.

Ready to be shocked by the foods packing a nutritional punch? This week, Rob and I set the stage for a revelatory journey through the garden of nutrition, only to find our assumptions about spinach and liver being nutrient all-stars were a bit leafy around the edges. With the insightful Dr. Sarah Ballantyne slated to join us soon, we're upping our foodie game, chuckling at our initial misfires, and gearing up to share our epiphanies about the real champions of the nutrient world - watercress for the win!
But it's not just about what you should eat; we also peel back the layers on the food world's dark side, bursting the bubble on some shocking misconceptions. Bananas in the berry club? Mind-blowing, right? And while honey may sweeten your day, raw honey's no treat for the little ones. We'll leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about toxic foods, with a side of laughter as we wonder if plutonium would make a dietitian's list of no-nos.
Strap in as we next turn a critical eye to the snake oil of the nutrition industry - those dubious diet supplements promising the world. We’re not here to knock your Ashwagandha latte, but let's get real about those 'fat burners' and 'miracle' weight loss pills. Plus, our plan for upcoming content is as community-driven as it gets. We're taking your suggestions, stirring the pot with interactive streams, and welcoming a healthy dose of skepticism and humor for our next chat with the esteemed Dr. Ballantyne - no secrets here, promise!
