In this episode, I break down the latest noise around Joe Wicks and protein bars and why telling people a snack will give them cancer, strokes, or an early death is, frankly, really stupid.We get into:The rise of ultra-processed foods (now 56% of the UK diet) and what that really means for health.Why protein bars aren’t miracle foods, but also aren’t poison, they can actually help with adherence and behaviour change.How fear-mongering fuels disordered eating, which has skyrocketed from 1 in 20 adults in 2007 to around 1 in 6 by 2019.The role of cost of living and why UPFs are often the cheapest, most accessible calories.Why fortification matters and how some processed foods actually help prevent nutrient deficiencies.What actually works if you want a healthier relationship with food (hint: it’s not black-and-white “good vs bad” rules).This episode is all about cutting through the noise, ditching the scare tactics, and talking honestly about food in a way that actually helps.👉 If you’ve ever felt confused by headlines or guilty about the foods you eat, this one’s for you.PMID: 40530952PMID: 36258254PMID: 37525957https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/about-beat/policy-work/policy-and-best-practice-reports/prevalence-in-the-uk/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Motivation fades. Extremes burn you out. Balance is where the real change happens.In this episode, I share the two of the biggest turning points in my own fitness journey: learning to show up regardless of how motivated I felt, and breaking free from the all-or-nothing extremes to finally build a more balanced, sustainable approach.If you’ve ever struggled with waiting to “feel ready,” or found yourself stuck in the cycle of going too hard, burning out, and then starting over, this one’s for you. Because real, lasting progress doesn’t come from perfection, it comes from consistency, self-compassion, and building habits you can actually keep up.The Momentum Method Kick-Start is designed to help you do exactly that: structure, support, and accountability to break the stop-start cycle and start building real momentum.https://www.skool.com/the-momentum-method/about

In this episode, we unpack a truth that hits hard but opens doors: your new life is going to cost you your old one. It doesn't mean you need to tear everything down and start from scratch — but it does mean letting go of habits, beliefs, and identities that no longer align with who you're trying to become.We break down how your identity shapes your beliefs, how those beliefs drive your actions, and how those actions determine the results you see in your health, fitness, and life. And at the end of the episode, we guide you through a simple but powerful exercise to help you get crystal clear on the version of you you're stepping into — and how to start showing up as them today.The momentum kick-start begins on June 21stHit this link to join the priority list and find out more: Momentum Kick-Start
