In this episode we speak to Dr Katherine Iscoe about... well, much more than we had planned! From confidence, to self esteem, to behaviour, to eating poo pills [it's VERY important to state explicitly here that this is not safe and can be very harmful for a number of reasons, please do not try this at home!!]. Prepare yourself. You can find out more about Dr Katherine at @dr_katherine on the gram.

In this episode we discuss why people might take health advice from people who are not health professionals, but rather who are renowned for other skills such as performing songs, selling clothes, falling over, and many other activities unrelated to the study of pharmacology, physiology and clinical science.

In this week’s podcast we have the amazing Dr Emilia Thompson on to discuss the importance of education for successful dieting and long term behaviour change. 

When you understand why you are doing something and how it works you a free from fad diets for life.

Education is important from a client and coaching perspective. If you can relay information to your clients in a simple and understandable way they are far more likely to get results.

We also have some exciting news: Emilia & Emma have created a nutrition course teaching you exactly this. The course is academic and applied and brings together the pair’s academic and coaching experience. If you are interested in the course check out EIQnutrition.com

On this episode of Fitness Unfiltered we catch up with each other and talk Fitness Unfiltered Live!!! We had an amazing time hosting an incredible event thanks to an unbelievable line up of health and fitness professionals, and raising over £27,000 for UNICEF in the process. On this episode, which was recorded live on the Facebook Group, we discuss what we learned, reflections we have had since the event and a little bit of the feedback we received.

The boys take a back seat for a late international women’s day episode.

We end up not discussing international women’s day at all and instead cover how to identify your values, tips for working from home, ideas about how to stay productive over the coming months and why we shouldn’t give up on our goals.

Thank you to Emilia, Carly and Hayley for joining us!

We hope you will all be getting involved in the handstands and double unders!

Sending love to you all,

Mike, Dan and Emma

We promised in our absence the next episode would be worth the wait. We can confidently say this absolutely was!

This week the Fitness Unfiltered team were excited to be joined by Dr. David Robert Grimes (www.davidrobertgrimes.com Twitter: @drg1985 Instagram: @drgesq) who is a physicist, cancer researcher, award winning science writer and author of the best seller; The Irrational Ape.

From the questionable beliefs and biases we all have, the ‘web of beliefs’ this evolves into, how spreading disinformation and flawed logic puts us all at risk and social media’s role, to vaccines, herd immunity, propaganda potentially fanning the Covid-19 flames of fear, David’s ‘favourite’ falsehoods, and how critical thinking can save the world.

This week team FU were delighted to be joined by the Director of The Institute Of Performance Nutrition (www.theiopn.com) and host of the ‘We Do Science’ Podcast, Dr. Laurent Bannock.

Laurent shares with us the distinct differences between sports nutrition, performance nutrition and translatable nutrition information that’s most relevant for the general population. We have a candid conversation around the minutiae many focus on (and whether they need to at all), scope of practice and evidence-based practitioners.

We also discuss the current educational structure of courses relating to nutrition in the UK and the proposition that has been put forward the AfN (Association for Nutrition) to become a regulatory body. What does this mean for those currently giving out nutritional recommendations and with change anything at all?
