In this episode, we discuss and layout some foundations on how to avoid overtraining and burnout to ensure you are making progress in your health and fitness.

Liam is a coach at Coastal Fitness, Hong Kong and It was great to bring him onto the show to talk about training with intent. In terms of coaching Liam is only approximately 3-4 years in the game but having spent some time training with him and speaking with him it was clear he had an amazing philosophy behind his own training and coaching. Layer on top of that the list of high-level qualifications he has done and constant improvement in pursuit of high-level coaching, Liam is someone who I highly regard and love to listen to. Training with intent is essentially training with some purpose in mind. We all know the impact exercise has on our overall health and fitness but for those who want to reach a specific goal or want to see real improvements in their quality of life it's important to have some intent behind the training you invest your time, and or money into.

I invited John and Charlotte from the wellness theory back on the show to talk about the myth of self-sabotage. The whole idea behind self-sabotage seems to be very common in the health and fitness world, particularly with individuals who are embarking on a new exercise or nutrition regime. I am almost certain you have experienced a point in your life when you go through a period of trying to improve your daily habits only to end up back at square 1 wallowing in self-pity. The most common example I can think of is having a cheat meal (more likely weekend) after a week of rigid dieting and then feeling guilty. So I asked the question, is self sabotage a real thing? If so then how do we stop the vicious cycle? John and Charlotte have a lot of knowledge and bring up some great points around this topic and I think it will help a lot of people when planning for future 'health kicks'.

My guest today is Caroline Leon who is a health and fitness professional, co-founder of A Life of education and motivational speaker. I watched Caroline's amazing Ted talk she did a while back 'Ain't no mountain high enough' and was instantly inspired by her story and knew I had to invite her on the podcast, lucky for me she agreed to share her story with me. Caroline had a serious accident where she literally broke her body! Left unable to walk and having to go through 14 surgeries to fix her, Caroline then went on to climb mountains and in doing so attempt to break some Guinness world records. In the podcast, she shares some really good advice for anybody who is going through some sort of hardship whether physically or mentally and how you can overcome them.

I am back! I took a month off uploading the podcast whilst I was busy recording creating a backlog of podcasts with some great really great guests. I am really excited to share them with you. In this episode, I speak with Micky Burns on some of the myths and misconceptions around metabolism and weight loss. Terms like 'reset metabolism, metabolic damage and boost your metabolism' are often used in health and fitness marketing campaigns to draw peoples attention but the fact of the matter is a lot of the time there is actually no real evidence-based research behind these terms, it's just a way to confuse you and make you believe you are missing the magic formula. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a lot of truth around slower metabolism and metabolism adaptations but Micky and I discuss other factors that you may need to address before playing the 'slow metabolism card'.
