Firstly, thanks to RPM power for sponsoring this episode!Athletes always miss the forest for the trees on this topic. Losing weight or being lean is likely not going to be the biggest determinant in your sporting performance. What sport do you play or compete in, how are the podium spots decided? Is it how lean you are, who has the lowest body fat percentage or your physique? For the vast majority of people the three former items are not key performance metrics, with the exception of bodybuilding & physique competition. In many cases, when we get into the weeds on this with an athlete, the desire to lose weight on the surface is related to sports performance, but ultimately it tends to be about fitting in, low self esteem or a poor body image. Weight is not always a healthy or helpful thing.If you would like to work with my team and I to get the record straight on what types of nutrition protocols would work for you, you can find us here or reach out here.

Firstly, thanks to RPM power for sponsoring this episode!"Evan you are a dietitian and you tell people to drink sports drinks" is a common question/critique I get. I want to make the context specific case where sports drinks are actually of benefit for somebody, and in many cases with all things considered, a net positive. Exercise metabolism is vastly differing from resting metabolism, and this point of nuance is generally ignored. I hope you enjoy the episode.If you would like to work with my team and I to get the record straight on what types of nutrition protocols would work for you, you can find us here or reach out here.

Firstly, thanks to RPM power for sponsoring this episode!"Train on fat to burn fat", "burning more fat will lead to more fat loss", "fasted training will make you a better athlete" - these are phrases we commonly hear in settings from peers, coaches and influencers alike, the reality is that there is not a lot of evidence suggesting this is beneficial. In fact, fasted training may come with far more peril than benefit when we fully examine each and every consideration in this case. In this episode we take a brief deep dive into fasted training and give you a breakdown of the pros, cons and actual facts so that you can make fully informed choices as to how you approach your sports nutrition.

Firstly, thanks to RPM power for sponsoring this episode!Just because somebody is good at any given sport, this does not mean they are healthy, it almost doesn't mean they know what they are talking about when it comes to diet. I have seen multiple elite athletes have major health issues due to the way to they fuel their exercise, whilst performing admirably. I say to point out that performance does not equal health, "that athletes get's away with not fuelling for their sessions" is a common thing I hear. In reality they don't, you simply can't see the consequences. My team and I see the consequences every day, and they can be devastating (if you are interested in avoiding such issues, you can reach out here to work with us).You should be very careful who you compare your diet to. The average professional athlete or coach scores about a C minus when you quiz them on diet, and depending on the sport we are talking about, the likelihood of an athletes having RED-S or an eating disorder is massive and for eating disorders up to 3 times more likely than general populations.Just because you can do a 3hr run without eating or drinking anything, doesn't mean you should. Just because the fastest runner in your group says gels are full of processed sugars and are bad for you, doesn't make it true. This episode was made to address the way we decide what is and is not okay or optimal, and a reminder to check yourself on who exactly you compare yourself to.

If Christmas wasn't tough enough, we have to immediately follow it with a set of lofty goals immediately afterwards. The fitness industry relies and preys on this collective (albeit temporary mindset). You are poised to announce to the world that you are going to make changes that are akin to you deciding to suddenly changing your dexterity, new year new you is a marketing term, not an accurate representation of behaviour change.We see this year in, year out - after the lull and low following the excitement and excess at Christmas, people will punish themselves or try to compensate by making grandiose diet & lifestyle changes. It doesn't work, it never has and never will. if you are sick of doing this and repeating this pattern, you can click here and my team and I can help you out.

Christmas is a tough time of year, and I have heard it all this time around - "how can I manage my diet around Christmas" or "do I need to make up for Christmas before and after it'' or even the good old staple of "I don't want to gain weight, Christmas is going to mess that up." It's a common trope, and unfortunately reflects an endemically poor diet culture, generalised lack of mental flexibility and seasonal feelings of failure, shame and guilt that drive New Years resolutions every year. The general perception is that a few days of not healthy/restrictive eating is enough to permanently derail your ambitions, this is rarely the case. If this is something you struggle with, you can click here and my team and I can help you out. If you know someone who may struggle with this type of behaviour and mentality, please share this episode with them.

This episode goes through one of the most common questions I get from clients, and that is, should you be using fats or carbs as a fuel source?

We've all been there, you flick through social media and your local PT has a striking before & after picture of a client who lost heaps of weight in a short space of time, and you think "wow, if I did this I would be so happy" - Spoiler alert, its Fugazi, it's not real and it's not maintainable. Before & after pictures are marketing tools used in the fitness industry to sell you the "best version of yourself" in order to get you spending your money on shakes, magic methods etc. The big takeaway is that you are more than a number.

This episode takes a deep dive and an evidence based look at how we should go about hydration and electrolyte replacement. There is a growing trend in overly aggressive electrolyte replacement and an over emphasis on sweat sodium content. There are also poor practices evident on a wide scale. Clinically speaking, in the context of modern diets, where excess salt intake is endemic, it is important to have accuracy and clarity over sodium replacement.
