The Healthification Podcast

In todays show I’m weighing in on: Are The People Around You Holding You Back? It’s actually sort of a trick question though… we’ll get to that soon. First, you know the cliche. Boy meets girl. Or girl meets boy. Spending time together become The priority… lots of nights in and hearty home cooked meals accompanied by a fair few nights out ... READ MORE

Have you ever felt like your current reality is just one setback after the next? Just when you think “It couldn’t possibly get any worse” – it’s as if the universe interprets that as a challenge and it dishes up… a whole lot worse! I know it’s not the most motivating start to the Monday show, and thankfully I’m not speaking from current personal experience ... READ MORE

Although I’ve been very consistent with my exercise and nutrition over the past – oh, 17 years! – it’s only in the past few years that I’ve enjoyed results that I believe truly reflect the effort I put in. Can you relate? The results you’re seeing just don’t seem to fairly reflect the sweat and focus you’re giving? In today’s ... READ MORE

Recently I saw an e-card with the quote “I’m frantically rushing home to relax.” I thought WOW that’s so me! I bet I’m not unique in this regard. In today’s show I’m weighing-in on: Chasing Calm. It’s sort of an oxymoron right?? However I chose it with volition because too often that’s exactly how it feels.  Perhaps because calm is not one of my natural strengths I really admire ...

There’s a gent at my gym who’s lost around 8 kilo’s in 2 weeks. He’s been on what I would deem a very extreme diet. It involves around 500 calories, injections to suppress his appetite and ZERO exercise. Although he’s happy with his results… the approach he’s chosen is 100%, without a doubt NOT the approach I would ever recommend to any of my ... READ MORE

B.E WILLING TO USE IT C.OMPASSION. So now ... READ MORE

In todays show I’m weighing in on something I didn’t think I needed: ACCOUNTABILITY. I spend my days holding other people accountable… they pay me for it and generally they thank me for it – however I really didn’t think it was something I needed help with. I’ve always been of the mindset: If it’s important enough TO ME, I’ll do it. And that’s often true. It’s absolutely true in the areas in which ... READ MORE

I’m recording todays show as a reformed carb-Queen. So please know everything I share today I’ve struggled with. I’m coming from a place of understanding not judgement. I used to love to demolish a whole french stick in a sitting. I’d eat 6 white bread rolls with raw 2-minute noodles as the filling for afternoon tea… and Yes, I’ve consumed an entire box of cereal (straight from ... READ MORE

It’s rare that I encounter someone who does not wish they had more will power. In one aspect of their life at least. Actually I’ll go so far as to say that I’ve never met anyone who wouldn’t like more will power specifically with regard to exercise or nutrition. Yep, myself absolutely included. It’s amazing how often my clients tell me “But you’re so disciplined… you ... READ MORE

Do you ever feel like you’re just treading water? Going through the motions? You’re trying. You’re certainly busy. You have too much to do and never enough time and time is flying however really the actual progress you’re making is disappointing. Perhaps non-existent. When push comes to shove, or more likely when paralysis comes to stagnation (!) you feel STUCK. In today’s show I’m weighing-in ... READ MORE

In todays show I’m sharing one of my weird health habits that works. I’ve got a few. This one has been a non-negotiable part of my routine for at least a year… the boys at the gym hassle me: I think they think this particular habit is pointless however I’m sold on the value. It’s not my obsession with brussel crisps. Or the fact that I often fill ... READ MORE

In Mondays #280 show we covered ‘3’ Swap Confusing For Simple tips one each under the categories of Fuel of Move and of Life. I also mentioned in todays show I’d share a strategy to make doing the do (!) so far as those tips easier for you. So now it’s time to deliver by looking at each category under the filter of Global Beliefs. I’m also going to finish todays show with 7 body ... READ MORE

I’m recording todays show in celebration of an emotional state that deserves a little more respect. It’s potentially the solution to any challenge. However as we age it’s tempting to instead default at disinterest… invite indifference even nurture normality. Your alternative and your best body gaining attitude to cultivate is of course: Curiosity. First off I’d like to address the negative connotation that comes to mind ... READ MORE

The best body gain advice I can possibly share is actually potentially underwhelming. It is so simple, it’s deceptive. You’ve heard it before and gone searching for an easier, flashier, quicker or more exciting solution. And there are a lot of solutions out there to be found. Many even work. But will they work for you? Will you even give them a fair ... READ MORE

Today had the potential to be a super-NON-ideal fat burning day. Actually today had the potential to be a massive right-off so far as food, exercise, effectiveness and general satisfaction with my performance on any and every level. You’ve had such days too right? The day that pretty much started off on the wrong foot the night before… because in the same way that your ideal ... READ MORE
