1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: The number one cause of weight gain is dieting. And 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: the reason for that is in this Western world where satisfaction, comfort, validation, 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: dopamine is so easily accessible. When you deprive it, it's 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: so much easier to just give up and go towards 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: the things that are helpful. So putting a Heroin addict 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: in a Heroin. 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 2: Store, Buddy Linstein, Welcome to the podcast. 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, Paul Taylor. What's going on? 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 3: Ah, I tell you, what's going on is fucking technology frustrations. 10 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 3: I just said to you, I was just about to 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 3: do a talk for the Cancer Concil on my internet 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 3: just completely and utterly shut itself. 13 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 2: Which is lovely, isn't it. When it's three minutes before 14 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: you're both to start a talk. 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: There's nothing worse, nothing worse. You open up an app 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: and then something reboots or needs to update, and it's 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: like worse timing. 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 3: They were very understanding, and thankfully I know the CEO 19 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: pretty well. 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: She's great. So we're just rescheduling, but managed to get 21 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 2: it up online for this podcast. 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 3: So you are, You're a nutritionist, you're a scientist, you're 23 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 3: an international speaker, and you're also a podcast host. I've 24 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: been on your podcast recently, but you really focus in 25 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 3: on the psychology of eating and particularly around emotional eating. 26 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: But let's really start from the top. Why do we 27 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: seem to have such a big issue around food in 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 3: the first place. 29 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: Oh, good question, and it pretty easily answered. Dopamine in 30 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: the short is the really short answer. We're in a 31 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: world and you are the expert of this world of 32 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: comfort and discomfort. Right, We're in a world where we 33 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: don't have to do hard things and we can use 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: the easy option and not be socially judged for it 35 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: and not be ridiculed. Whereas we think about, you know, 36 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: maybe several hundred years ago or thousands of years ago, 37 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: by choosing a different option, you might be outcast from 38 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: the small family or tribe that you were in and so, 39 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, whereas nowadays it's if you don't go out 40 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: and eat ice cream, you're the weird one, right, You're 41 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: the odd person that's doing the you know, the healthy thing. 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: Whereas now everybody it's sort of socially okay to join in, 43 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, destructive behaviors, and everybody sort of champions you 44 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: for that or bullies you into submission for not eating 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: the thing or doing the thing, and so yeah, I 46 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: think fundamentally it's just that life's hard. Life is overwhelming, 47 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: it's difficult, it's challenging. People have trauma, and historically the 48 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: way in which we dealt with that was to either 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: swallow it or deal with it, and we might have 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: had to deal with it head on with a sword 51 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: or an axe, or nowadays we're so civilized and organized 52 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: that yelling at somebody or saying what you think or 53 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: releasing that energy or to talking to somebody about it, 54 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, just get on with it. We're busy, 55 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: we're distracted. So the way that we heal those pains 56 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: or sufferings or emotions or excessive cortisol and excessive adrenaline 57 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: in our system, instead of burning it, is that we 58 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: bury it. And often food is the lowest barrier to 59 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: entry thing that we can go towards. We can go 60 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: to the supermarket. You know, it's not like alcohol or 61 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: drugs where there's a clear line between addiction and you 62 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: don't actually need those things to live, whereas food you 63 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: need food to live. So it's a very gray, vague area. 64 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 3: That's a really good I mean, there's lots of really 65 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 3: good points that you just brought up. 66 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: But people don't have to smoke, they don't. 67 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: Have to drink alcohol, but we do have to eat, right, 68 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: and that's the thing. 69 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: And then we have more and more of this ultra 70 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: processed food, which to go. 71 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: Back to your first point about dopamine gives the brill 72 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: in a nuclear reward that, yeah, our human brand like 73 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 3: not all food, I mean food. 74 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: Is supposed to be rewarding. 75 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: You know, we have those that natural reward in the brain, food, water, sex, nurturing, achievement, 76 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: all naturally released dopamine, which, as you will know, a 77 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: lot of people say it's it's the pleasure chemical. It's 78 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: not really, it's the chemical of motivation and goal directed behavior. 79 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: And when you have a tim tam, you know you 80 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: have other chemicals. 81 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: In your brain going, oh that's lovely. Dopamine's going worth 82 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 2: the rest of the packet, right absolutely. 83 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 3: And I think this is a big part of the 84 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 3: issue is that there is so much of this ultra 85 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 3: process food that hits the bliss point in the brain 86 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,559 Speaker 3: right where it is ay this delicate balance of either 87 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 3: salt and sugar or salt and fat, or fat and 88 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 3: sugar or salt, fat and sugar, Like any two of 89 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 3: those things in the right balance hits the reward pathway 90 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: and Pringles have nailed it right for all ultra process foods. 91 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 3: Once you pop, you can't stop. 92 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're literally advertising their addictiveness. 93 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right. 94 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 3: But it's really interesting, isn't it, because that when we 95 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: eat those foods that just tearste amusing, they are Moorish, right, 96 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 3: and you do want more of them, and they're designed 97 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: like that, and we get a reward, We get a 98 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 3: soothing of our stress or our soothing of our anxiety, 99 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 3: which then reinforces their behavior. 100 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, absolutely, And it's a vicious cycle because the 101 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: other element of that is that whilst I guess you know, 102 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: do the emotional binge overeating work from fundamentally a psychological 103 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: standpoint first, there's also the nutritional element, which is this 104 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: when you put in food and they've done there's a 105 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: group of I'm going to blank on their names, but 106 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: there's a group of evolutionary biologists that have done this 107 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: work in looking at multiple species all the way down 108 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: to fly locusts up to mammals humans as well. All 109 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 1: species over eat carbohydrates to hit their protein quota. 110 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 3: I interviewed the guys on my podcast, two guys from City. 111 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 3: Yeah they are brilliant and Russ rush rush Back or 112 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 3: something like. 113 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: I can't remember their names, but. 114 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: I always to give their names. 115 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: But yeah, absolutely brilliant than that. 116 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 3: That showing that we all species will eat and continue 117 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: to eat until they hit the required amounts of protein. 118 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 3: And most of the if you look at ultra processed foods, 119 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 3: they are not protein heavy because protein's expensive. 120 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: Right, And yeah, well it stops you eating the product. 121 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: That's right, I say, I know, you know what, I 122 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 2: never thought of that. That's true. 123 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, you get to the end of the bag of 124 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: a you know, protein field thing and you don't you 125 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: need less willpower to manage going back, and you're satiated. 126 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: That's so you don't go back to the for you 127 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: don't buy another one. 128 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 3: That's the thing, because my go to snack would be 129 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 3: different types of build tongue or meat stick stick because 130 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: I just tried to eat it and then you're good, right, 131 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: and you don't. 132 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: Need any more. 133 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: That's a very point actually that I'd never factored in. 134 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 3: But I think one of the other things, just before 135 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: we dive into the whole emotional eating thing. 136 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: And you mentioned that the way that we are with 137 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: society now I is this. It's more than an acceptance. 138 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: It's almost become an encouragement of larger bodies. And it's 139 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: well intentioned. I get it. 140 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 3: It's well intentioned, and it's about not body shaming. And 141 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 3: I'm one hundred percent behind that, right, So I don't 142 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 3: want anybody to misinterpret what I'm saying. But what we're 143 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 3: doing is that we're normalizing being overweight and being obese. 144 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: And what people. 145 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 3: Don't realize is the multitude of health benefits that come 146 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: into that. But it's also then that that normalizes over eating, 147 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: and to your point earlier on and and. 148 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: That that then when you get into. 149 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: That pathway, it's so bloody hard to get out up right. 150 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, And and I would agree with you. Happy at 151 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: every size, awesome, worthy at every size, lovable at every size, 152 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: you know, amazing, healthy at every size. No, not at all, 153 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: And that and that number that there's not there's a 154 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: number that's going to be different for everybody, or a 155 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: set of compositions or statistics or information that will be 156 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: slightly different for everyone. But I think we deal these 157 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: days with such like on an individualistic base, the basis of, 158 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: you know, don't hurt this individual's feelings, don't hurt this person, 159 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: don't do that kind of thing, whatever it is. You know, 160 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: we're protecting the individual. But we live in a society, 161 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: and so if we don't take a societal lens or 162 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: a community focus, then we are we are blind to 163 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: the consequences and the consequences on a bigger scale. And 164 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 1: when we get into this kind of macro thinking, it 165 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: it's hard to relate to. So I get why people 166 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: don't think about it. But we have a reduction in 167 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: the productivity of society. We have more sick days at work, 168 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: we have interest rates and things that go up as 169 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: a consequence, we have more people that use the system 170 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: that we pay the medical system of which we all 171 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: pay tax. Are We're going to get to a point 172 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: where I get to pay less tax because I'm healthy? 173 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: Probably not right? And so there's other macro ways that 174 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: this this comes into the conversation and degrades society. If 175 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: we champion the healthy at every size and cele obesity 176 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: celebration with you know, celebrities and role models that just 177 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: and you know, even I did a podcast yesterday with 178 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: a clinical psychologist that's in this world as well. And 179 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: you know the movement on YouTube of mock bang. I 180 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard of it, but it's basically it's, oh, 181 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: there's people that earned millions and millions of dollars just 182 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: eating on camera. They just they're like in the most 183 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: disgusting foul ways you can ever imagine. And it's again, 184 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: it's this public championing of bigger bodies, terrible food behavior. 185 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: And sure half the audience are watching because they're saying, oh, 186 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: this guy's like me, and the other half are watching 187 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: because they're like, can you believe this is real? Yeah? 188 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 3: Kind of and it's like you're watching a car crash 189 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 3: and you can't stop, right. 190 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what it's like. But this just sort 191 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: of illustrates that there's this huge movement. And you go 192 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: onto any of these videos five million views, ten million views, 193 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: you know they're earning millions of dollars in ad revenue. 194 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: But again, it's just this normalization and of a greater 195 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: number of people in society saying it's okay to be 196 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: like this, and as an individual, you do you as 197 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: part of if you're going to be part of my 198 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: society though, I think we should level up. 199 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, look, I completely agree on that. And research 200 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 3: can I just this week. I mean, it's research that 201 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: we kind of all get intuitively, but for the first 202 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 3: time they have realized, Hi, being on healthy physically damages 203 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 3: that bring in and your mind. And it appears to 204 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 3: be that all all organs sends signals to each other, 205 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: and so an unhealthy liver actually creates an unhealthy brain, 206 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 3: and unhealthy capancreas creates an unhealthy brain. 207 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: And it's through these inflammatory. 208 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: Messagers and other metabolic messages that actually changes the way 209 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 3: that the brain actually works and drives our whole host 210 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 3: of mood disorders. Right, And yeah, you know, I've been 211 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: talking about the interactions between the body and brain for decades, 212 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 3: but now we're starting to see real evidence behind the 213 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 3: fact that when you are unhealthy and this is this 214 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: isn't just overweight, this is unfit as well, that it 215 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 3: actually damages organs, and those organs can damage sense signals 216 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 3: that damage other organs as well. 217 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 2: So we started to see. 218 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 3: There's this knock on effect at an ecosystem level that 219 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 3: is really concerned because then you have neurological conditions, you 220 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 3: get neurine generous diseases, but you also get mood disorders. Right, 221 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 3: and you talked about productivity. The biggest driver of presenteeism 222 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: or disability adjusted life here is is actually mood disorders. 223 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 2: Depression is the single biggest, right And so that. 224 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: Healthy body equals healthy mind, we have not really seen it. 225 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: And that when your your body is not healthy and 226 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 3: not fit, and that that damages your organs, which then 227 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: there's this knock on effect where they start to damage 228 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 3: each other, including the brilliant. 229 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: Well and I think the you know, further down the 230 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: chain of this conversation of poor mental health, you know, depression, anxiety, 231 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: mood disorders, that type of thing is is the idea 232 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: that in the absence of exercise, because a lot of 233 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: people think exercise is about getting skinny, but yeah, right, well, 234 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: and in some parts of your journey or the individual's journey, 235 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: it might be about that. But the other thing is 236 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: that if we get to the mood disorder conversation and 237 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: also acknowledged it that all the chemicals and all the 238 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: terrible shit that's in, you know, in the ultra processed 239 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: food is also contributing to degradation of the brain and 240 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: the body. But the absence of physical biological resilience from 241 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: not exercising, not lifting something heavy is also a contributing 242 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: factor to that lack of resilience in the workplace or 243 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: in the environment. And then to sort of circle back 244 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: to where we were, is this super individualistic, always offended 245 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: society that has no resilience whatsoever, right, because you know, 246 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: you can probably tie it all into the same loop. 247 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: If they've never lifted something heavy, they've never done something hard, 248 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: and never's a big overarching broad term. But you understand 249 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: what I'm. 250 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 3: Saying absolutely, and there I am in complete violent agreement. 251 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 3: I like to talk about psycho physiological resilience, right, which 252 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 3: is this body Brian resilience. And you can't be resilient 253 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 3: just by doing positive thinking, Like there's this toxic positivity 254 00:13:59,080 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 3: shit that's. 255 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: Out there that drives me nuts. 256 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: That you have to condition the body and condition the 257 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 3: mind by doing challenging stuff, because the biggest benefit of 258 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 3: exercise is that it's a stressor and it stimulates the 259 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 3: body to have positive adaptations. 260 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: And that's just like the mind. And who was it? 261 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: It was one of the stoic philosophers said that, and 262 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 3: I'll paraphrase here, but just like liaber is good for 263 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 3: the body, dealing with difficulties is toughens the mind as well. 264 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: Right, But it is this. 265 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 3: Culture that we're in where it is all about trying 266 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: to minimize our stress and then about soothing your stress 267 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 3: with either alcohol, drugs or food. And I think the 268 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 3: issue now is that this stuff is all around us. 269 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: Everywhere, right. 270 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 3: I mean alcohol and drugs were always available to a 271 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: certain extent, but I think the change in the composition 272 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: of our food in. 273 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: The last thirty years is just massive. 274 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: I'll just open that up for comment from around that topic, 275 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: like how big do you think the changing composition of 276 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: the food and the ultra processed food is as part 277 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 3: of our overall problem? 278 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: Oh, I would say a huge part of the problem. 279 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: Percentage wise. I don't know, it's going to be different 280 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: for everyone. And fifty percent maybe it's fifty percent movement. 281 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: You know what's going in which also includes unfiltered water, 282 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: you know, the air that we breathe in cities. You know, 283 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: there's a whole rabbit hole of detoxification to go down there. 284 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: But the food is the thing, and this is why 285 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm sort of in this world of this combination of 286 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: psychology and nutrition because both of those things are things 287 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: that are within our reach to do something about, and 288 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: just as exercises as well. And we've got to eat, 289 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: so you know, unless we want to just die, we 290 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: don't have a choice. We've got to We've got to eat, 291 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: whereas the other things, you know, we've got a choice 292 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: as to whether we do or don't or you know, 293 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: et cetera. But yeah, I think it's enormous. The vegetable 294 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: oils one of the biggest destroyers of the brain and 295 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: nervous system as well. 296 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 3: Talk us through that, mat so there will be you know, 297 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 3: my listeners will have heard me say I'm not a 298 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 3: fan of vegetable oils. So talk us through the process 299 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 3: by which they can become damaging for us. 300 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. So there's what's referred to by Kate Shanahan, 301 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: who for anyone that can see the videos, a couple 302 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: of her books on my shelf over here. But she's 303 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: put out Deep Nutrition and Dark Calories. Both of them 304 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: have several hundred studies. The Deep Nutrition has over sixteen 305 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: hundred studies in it referencing vegetable oils or if she 306 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: refers to them, the hateful ache. So we're talking about 307 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: canola oil, grape seed oil, rape seed oil, sunflower oil, 308 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: safflower oil, cottonseed oil, and corn oil. And the reason so, 309 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: first and foremost, all of those minus corn are not 310 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: vegetables whatsoever. They're nuts and seeds. And that was a 311 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: marketing decision made in about the early seventies to call 312 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: them vegetable oils. And then they in order to get 313 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: any of those nuts and seeds. And if you think 314 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: about any of those nuts and seeds, if you crush 315 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: them or bite into them, do you ever produce a liquid? 316 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: Now? 317 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: No? Right, So it's got to go through a heavy 318 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: amount of processing to get the oil that is in 319 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: those out of them. And depending on the manufacture process, 320 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: it's somewhere between thirty and seventy steps of manufacture, and 321 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: those manufactured steps three. 322 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: To seventy steps. 323 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, depending on the business and the factory in China 324 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: and all Malaysia and all insert location. 325 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 2: Whole shit. 326 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: But that's because they're not very nice because three of 327 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: those steps include coloring. So you know, you walk down 328 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: the aisle of the supermarket the cooking oil and it's 329 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: just this beautiful golden syrups. You know, it's like it's 330 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: just amazing. But they have to color them because they're 331 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: disgusting colors. They're like sludge. When they've gone through the 332 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: first couple of steps of squeezing the oil out of them, 333 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: they have to deodorize them because they smell all and 334 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: then they have to flavor them. They had flavors in 335 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: as well to make sure that they are, you know, 336 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: consumable by humans. And of course, slapping on the label 337 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: that says vegetable oils, everybody gets vegetable, we think health. 338 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: But along this process it goes through many phases of 339 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: increased heat, far higher than you would achieve in your kitchen. Yeah, 340 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: and what that does to the oil is it oxidizes it, 341 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: so it denages it and breaks it and an oxygen 342 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: molecule attaches to it, which means now it's not in 343 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: a helpful form. And many people will have heard of 344 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: smoke points. And you know, you've got to use certain 345 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: oils for certain temperatures. That's because at a certain temperature, 346 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: these oils change shape and they become no longer helpful. 347 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 3: And that can actually be a selling point for them. 348 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 3: They have a high smoke point, right, And so that's 349 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 3: the whole thing. When they realize that transfats were unhealthy, 350 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 3: that oh, well, let's do these vegetables because they have. 351 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 2: A higher smoke point. 352 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 3: But what most people don't realize is they've become a 353 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 3: completely adultert to that point that you actually get them 354 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 3: so before you even start to cook with them, they 355 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 3: are completely adulterized. And the research shows that when you 356 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 3: hate an unsaturated fat, it actually gives off toxic aldehydes 357 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 3: at a much higher level than a model ensaturate or 358 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 3: a saturated fat. 359 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: Right. 360 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: This is something that people don't really understand absolutely. 361 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: And actually many of the bottles of vegetable oil, if 362 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: you've got one in your cupboard and you're listening right now, 363 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: will have somewhere on it a line that says that 364 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: there's not a great deal of evidence that supports the 365 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: use of these for heart health, which is just wild 366 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: because it's like in the tiniest writing, there's a random sentence, 367 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: and particularly in the USA, it's got the FDA comment 368 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: of like, there's insufficient evidence to say that these are 369 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: any good for heart health, yet they are promoted by 370 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: the American Heart association all the time, and so I guess, 371 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: and then the question becomes, you know, well what next? 372 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: And then we move towards things that have been used 373 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: for a millennium. Beef, tallow lard, you know, suet, which 374 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: you know you can get off making broth or or cooking, 375 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: but you can buy it from a butcher, that type 376 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: of thing. Olive oil is good for sort of mid 377 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: range temperatures. That the place I always moved to the 378 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: space where there's the least amount of debate in the 379 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: research and with professionals, and the least in might opinion, 380 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: the least amount of debate happens with avocado oil as 381 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: the thing to cook with the hottest temperatures that you 382 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: can achieve in your kitchen. And actually there's a few 383 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: my sister's a head chef and there's a few sort 384 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: of famous French chefs that always cook with avocado oil 385 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: for that reason as well. That she follows is yeah, 386 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't damage. And because if you're thinking, you know, 387 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: French cuisine and flavor, when that damage happens to the oil, 388 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: it changes the flavor, right, It impacts the flavor. The 389 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: other thing to mention, which is going to sound a 390 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: bit conspiratorial, but there's been documentaries that that have gone 391 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: over this. But when you've got food great products that 392 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: go on the shelf of supermarkets, you don't have to 393 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: be super clear about what goes into them, and so 394 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: they have. There was an olive oil sort of test 395 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: done in multiple locations at ports in the world where 396 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: giant shipments were coming in and they were finding that 397 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: some of these olive oil fully branded olive oil glass 398 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: bottles actually had up to seventy percent cottonseed oil in them, 399 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: so they'd been diluted to save money. And that's sort 400 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: of that happened. That's happened in the honey industry as well. 401 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: It's happened in multiple industries where food grade products, you know, 402 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: you don't have to be again super honest or clear. 403 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: And it also can preserve it a little bit longer 404 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: because once the oil is oxidized, it doesn't have much 405 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: more changing to do, so it means it's more stable 406 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: on the shelf last longer, which is exactly why vegetable 407 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: oils are used in all of the bagger box or 408 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: canned foods that you can buy anywhere, because it keeps 409 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: them shelf stable and it does the oxidizing instead of 410 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: the food oxidizing itself. Yeah. 411 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 2: Interesting. 412 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 3: Now the olive oil, I had read that research and 413 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 3: actually the mafia are massively involved in olive oil. And 414 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 3: that's why I see the people, you're gonna buy olive oil, 415 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,239 Speaker 3: which we use heaps of olive oil. We also have 416 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 3: avocado oil, and we have large and we have. 417 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 2: Gay and so. 418 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so that's I always say to people, if 419 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 3: you're cooking a steak, that's when you need something that 420 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 3: is saturated fat, right, because I think helping are people 421 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 3: our listeners to understand is saturated means it's saturated with 422 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 3: carbon bonds, which means it's more stable under heat. So 423 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 3: I always say to people, you're gonna buy olive oil, 424 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 3: which I highly recommended you to get extra virgin olive oid, 425 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 3: but buy Australian produced olive oil because the import stuff 426 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 3: is the stuff that is highly highly I don't know 427 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 3: if you've seen anything to the contrary about Australian extra 428 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 3: virgin olive oil, but that's the stuff that I tend 429 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 3: to buy. 430 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: Hopefully tell me that it's diluted as well. 431 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: Well. I haven't seen anything though, and I mean not 432 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: that this is possible for many people. And you know, 433 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: you and I were in this world of health. But 434 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 1: you know, if if the farm's somewhere that you can 435 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: drive past, or they're a business that has some kind 436 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: of shop front or open door policy, you know, that's 437 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: sort of a green flag for me, you know, and 438 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: sort of you know, we've got brands here in Victoria 439 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: that allow you to sort of go there and you 440 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: can go to the farm where the olives are picked, 441 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: and yeah, and so the more of that that we have, 442 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: the more transparency in the farming practices, for me, that's 443 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: a green flag. It's like if anybody can pull off 444 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: the you know, their road trip and go and visit 445 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: one of these places and see what's done. Sure, a 446 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: lot of the time we don't know what we're actually 447 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: looking at, but it's interesting. But that's sort of a 448 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: look in the right sort of a tick in the 449 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: right direction, if you like. 450 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, cool, Okay, let's not because we could talk about 451 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: this stuff all day, but I think I think that 452 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 3: the basic is is don't buy freaking vegetaboil. It's bullshit, right, 453 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 3: And don't listen to all the nonsense that's out there 454 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 3: that's not talk about emotional eating, so you're much closer 455 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 3: to this than I am. 456 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 2: What sort of incidents of this do we think? 457 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: Like? 458 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 2: How common is it? 459 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 3: I mean, before you answer that question, I always say 460 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 3: to people when I'm in workshops, you know, when you're stressed, 461 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 3: who goes for alcohol? Who goes for food? The people 462 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 3: who go for food? Is it salary sticks and carrot sticks? 463 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: Right? 464 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 3: And it's obviously not because our brains have worked out 465 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: to this point how to deal with stress, and my 466 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 3: brain basically goes, I'll sort that shit out. Just bring 467 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 3: me a bottle of wine and we're all good. Right, 468 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 3: But we have those learned responses to stress. Right, But 469 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 3: how common do you think it is amongst most males 470 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 3: and females. 471 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: I think it's more common in females, bus it's equally 472 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: terrible in men. Like, It's not like it's only one 473 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: percent of men. I think. You know, a lot of 474 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: women have challenges in that space, and there's a lot 475 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: of reasons equally men. Like, we just have to look 476 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: at the average trading Now, if we get to a 477 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: construction site upon a time, you know, in the Western world, 478 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: at least you go to a construction site and that 479 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: was the big burly men, right, That was the guys 480 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: that were jacked. They were naturally ripped. They're lifting concrete 481 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: all day. And now't you think generally you think, oh, 482 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: I'll go to a construction site and it's sort of 483 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: the overweight guys. You know, so and you know smogo 484 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: is you know, pies and that kind of thing. You 485 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: go to the Hamburgers and whatnot and cans of coke 486 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. 487 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 3: The amount of times I go to the airport early 488 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 3: and I stop in to get petrol and there's a 489 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 3: bunch of treaties coming in and they're buying sausage rolls 490 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 3: or pies from those petrol stations and two cans of 491 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 3: v or two massive kinds of mother And I'm thinking. 492 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 2: Holy shit. 493 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but so I mean, and you could obviously 494 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: kick off a debate around whether it's emotional eating or 495 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: whether it's just what we've got access to, which is 496 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: a fair argument because the system's not working in anyone's favor, right, 497 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's more common in women. But also, yeah, 498 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: I got plenty of men reach out. I've worked with 499 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: a bunch of men in this space, and I guess Yeah. 500 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: The reason that it is so common, I would say, 501 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: first and foremost is actually less about human resilience and 502 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: more about the system that we are a part of. 503 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: You know, you go to the supermarket, you know, you 504 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: hit with all of these advertisements and colors, and the 505 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: supermarket design is laid out by psychologists, you know, behavioral psychologists, 506 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: so they can successfully, you know, manipulate your behavior there unconsciously. 507 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: And you know we've got kids shows and billboards and 508 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: advertising with social media. You know, I am a nutritionist 509 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: that I put on my YouTube workouts which I've been 510 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: doing for years, and I still get hit with KFC 511 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: ads all the time. I'm like, my behavior has not 512 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: shown in the data in the algorithm, Like why is 513 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: this relevant to me? But I still get hit with 514 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: those ads. You know. 515 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 3: Interesting thing about supermarket layer, It's just a little comment. 516 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 3: I did a bunch of work with a food manufacturer 517 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 3: over in New Zealand. Should remain nameless, but I was 518 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 3: working with the leadership team and we're having a discussion 519 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 3: which I was privy to you about one of the 520 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 3: large supermarkets wanting them to produce very cheap home branded bread. 521 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 3: And there was the negotiation around it, and it was like, well, 522 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 3: if you do do this for us, we will give 523 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 3: your products the best shelf space, and particularly the stuff 524 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: at the end of the isles, because the stuff that's 525 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 3: at the end of the isles is the stuff that 526 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 3: sells the most, and those products are generally paying to 527 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 3: be placed there. Right, there's so much psychology in the supermarkets, 528 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 3: you know, and also that they know that kids are 529 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 3: often have the purchasing part, so a lot of the 530 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 3: ship food is down at kids'. 531 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 2: High heights as well. Right, There's just there's so much 532 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: stuff goes into this. 533 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: Even Cereal box design. So you'll notice that Cereal obviously 534 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: has characters, yes, because children related. 535 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 2: Characters should not be selling food. 536 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,479 Speaker 1: But if you notice their eyes, often if you look 537 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: at the boxes, the eyes are pointing down right in 538 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: the design because the children are looking up right interests. 539 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm manipulative. 540 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 3: Just ridiculous anyway, So we were talking about emotion leating. 541 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 2: So if somebody does emotionally and and I presume. 542 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,959 Speaker 3: There is a continuum around emotional eating, yeah, you know, 543 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 3: I just I like to have chocolate because it's nice 544 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 3: to This is where I go might go to when 545 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 3: I'm stressed. And so talk us through that continuum and 546 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 3: where does it really start to become problematic. 547 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're totally right, because there's a whole dialogue around 548 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: is emotionally eating always bad? Right? And I would say no, 549 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: because culture, tradition, social cohesion, in particular scenarios, all of 550 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: those things are important. And for a millennia we have 551 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: gathered around tables and celebrated and welcomed people with food 552 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: because it's a resource, you know, because humans need it 553 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: and so it's a value, and so it's important, right, 554 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: And sometimes we get clients come through our programs that 555 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: are sort of and I'm just going to use arbitrary numbers, 556 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: but say I want to lose twenty kilograms. It's amazing, Okay, 557 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: let's do that. But then we sort of do a 558 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: bit of the emotional analysis and the Friday night pizza 559 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: night with the boys or my kids or whatever that 560 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: is that is not worth giving up. That is such 561 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: an important social cohesive memory, making happiness, you know, sort 562 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: of a situation that it's like, well, actually, maybe the 563 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 1: goal needs to be fifteen killers, right and so and 564 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: so that's going to be different for everybody. And so, 565 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: and as you said, where does it become harmful? Where's 566 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: the line on that sort of spectrum? And I would 567 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: say for most people is you know, you need to 568 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,719 Speaker 1: decide that for yourself. When does it become harmful? Because 569 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: sometimes it's helpful, sometimes it's harmful. And there's nothing worse 570 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: than giving the brain two sets of rules for the 571 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: same food, which is the idea that on Saturday night 572 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: at a birthday party, cake's okay, but Monday's not. So 573 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: it's like, hang on, so the same food is bad 574 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: and good. That's kind of confusing, right, when we're tired, 575 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: when we're stressed, when we're busy, we don't want those 576 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: things in the brain. We don't want those confusing scenarios. 577 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: So my approach personally is basically that we destigmatize all 578 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: food and we just check in with how our body feels, 579 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: like do I feel healthy? Do I feel okay? Right, 580 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: and so that we're not stigmatizing food, because when we 581 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: stigmatize food, it triggers people's rebellion. You know, a lot 582 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: of people either had parents that were really restrictive, or 583 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: they've got a partner that's restricted the way right, yeah, 584 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: or food is the only place in their life where 585 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: they feel like they can rebel and break the rules 586 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: because everything else, or another way to look at it 587 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: is food is another place where the core human need 588 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: of variety is being met. Life is I'm stuck in 589 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: my job that I hate because of the mortgage. I'm 590 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: in a marriage, it's not going well, the kids drive 591 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: me crazy. I need some I need someone else, And 592 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: so food is the access point of variety, right, And 593 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I can have a bit of this 594 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: today or a bit of that today, but the rest 595 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: of my life is Monday and yeah, yeah, So there's 596 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: so many ways in which we enter this conversation because 597 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people here emotional eating and they just 598 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: think super depressed woman on the couch who got dumped 599 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: by a boyfriend eating ice cream. 600 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, that's the stereotype. 601 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: So when we think of where this thing starts, right, 602 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 3: I think we all probably grew up with food as 603 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 3: a reward, didn't we. You know, it's that whole you've 604 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 3: been good, so you can have ice cream, or you've 605 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 3: been good to you can have chocolate. 606 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 2: How much does that play a role in all of this? 607 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 3: And that then subconscious association of food with reward, you 608 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 3: know how big is that in all of this or 609 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: is it just like you know, that's just is what 610 00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 3: it is. 611 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: Well, I think I think it starts one thing and 612 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: it evolves over time, which is that it starts for 613 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: some people in that Yeah, that idea of reward and 614 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: that they've got that means they've got approval, they're doing 615 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: the right thing, they're moving in the right direction, and 616 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: maybe that they're you know, we're talking about adults now, 617 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: maybe they're trying to access that sense of love or 618 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: acceptance that they felt from their father in that moment, 619 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: which outside of that moment, he was a very loving 620 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: And the thing about trying to eat memories is that 621 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: you can't eat the part right, I love it, so 622 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, it can be the situations like 623 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: that we were trying to, you know, have the access 624 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: to these feelings which we once felt before. But you know, 625 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: we're moving in this space, I guess, of trying to 626 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: recreate it and instead we're rewarding ourself. But the reward 627 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: evolves into something new, which is life is hard. So 628 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to reward myself all of the time rather 629 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: than I did the good thing. Now I deserve a 630 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: reward and so where it started is maybe not how 631 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: it's showing up now, but it is this idea of oh, 632 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: that don't mean hit, or that particular food or that 633 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: particular wine always reminds me of that this scenario that 634 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: where I got validated at seven. But now it's got 635 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: a different meaning, which is that everything is hard and 636 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: nobody cares about me, and ever I'm ignored. And I 637 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: hear this a lot from mums because they're they're running 638 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: the household, they're looking after Hubby, looking after the kids, 639 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: They've forgotten about, and so the only time where I'm 640 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: prioritized is when the wine cares about the chocolate cares 641 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: about me. 642 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 3: Time. 643 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely no. 644 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 3: Before we get into some strategies around emotional leading, because 645 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 3: I do want to get into that when people have 646 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 3: an unhealthy relationship with food, ninety nine times out of 647 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 3: one hundred are going to put on wit and then 648 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 3: very often that the an going to go okay, I 649 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 3: need to go on a diet, and they go on 650 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 3: a diet for a certain mere period of time, realize 651 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 3: that that diet is unsustainable, then come off the diet, 652 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 3: back to their habits, and then kick the can down. 653 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 3: The rule for x amount of time and then we're 654 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 3: back on it. Why is that cycle? And we all 655 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 3: know these people right who their diet's pretty crap, and 656 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 3: then they will just go on a diet or they'll 657 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 3: go on the sheiks for a couple of months and 658 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 3: then they'll lose with it, and then. 659 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 2: They're back to their original diet again. Why is that 660 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 2: a bad idea? 661 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: Well, the number one cause of weight gain is dieting, 662 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: right yeah. And the reason for that is, in my opinion, 663 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: in this Western world where like satisfaction, comfort, you know, validation, 664 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: dopamine is so easily accessible when you deprive it in 665 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: a space where you haven't understood the underlying psychological drivers 666 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: of your behavior, it's so much easier to just you know, 667 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: give up and go towards the things that are helpful 668 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: when you're so it's like, you know, it's like putting 669 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: a heroin addict in a heroin store and saying don't 670 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: don't shoot up. It's like good luck, you know. So 671 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: that's how I think about it, is that when you're 672 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: on a diet, you're basically walking around to the supermarket, 673 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: you going to events, going to parties, and you're surrounded 674 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: by this, you know, this stuff that you really really want, 675 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: and so you think about it like a spring. You 676 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: know that you're pushing tighter and tighter and tighter, and 677 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: then at some point, whether it's a week, whether it's 678 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: that afternoon, whether it's three months down the track, that spring, 679 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: eventually the tension seeks release. And that's because we haven't 680 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: worked on the underlying motivators and drivers, some of which 681 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: are nutritional, some of which have Yeah, like we talked earlier, 682 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: you're just not getting enough protein in your diet, which 683 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: is super common. That happens to a lot of people, 684 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: even people that you know describe themselves theirselves as healthy eaters. 685 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: And then the other part of it is the psychology, 686 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: you know, and that is the why do I go 687 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: towards this dopamine? You know, when I'm not hungry, when 688 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't need food, even if I've eaten a steak 689 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: for dinner, Am I still looking for something sweet afterwards? 690 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: You know? Was there nutrition missing from dinner? Or you know, 691 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: am I just so naked and worn out that I 692 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: need something sort of material? They go to push the 693 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: biological cortisole back down, you know, rather than do something 694 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: that's truly coming, which is breathwork or meditation or you know, 695 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: because a lot of the things we add in, even 696 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: though in the moment the dopamine and serotonin and that 697 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: cocktail makes us feel good, they are inevitably just more 698 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: stress on the pile of stress. 699 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 2: You shit later on, and then you've got regret and 700 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 2: all of that. I will never forget to. 701 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 3: My master's Jesus nearly twenty five years ago in nutrition 702 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 3: and them talking about a research study from Yale University 703 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 3: where they had identified that people who were on diets 704 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 3: suffer from and you describe it beautifully with the spring. 705 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 3: They are in constant high cognitive dietary restraint, which is 706 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 3: a giky academic way of saying, I'm obsessing about the 707 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 3: stuff that I'm not eating, and I'm obsessing about it 708 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 3: all the time. And eventually that obsession becomes so much that, 709 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 3: as you said, the spring just goes bull and then 710 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 3: then they're off the diet. Now, physiologically, I think that 711 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 3: becomes a massive issue, right because when people go on 712 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 3: a calorie restricting diet, they will lose water first, as 713 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 3: you will know, Then they'll lose muscle, and then they'll 714 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 3: lose some fat, and then when they realize their diet 715 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 3: is unsustainable, they put the water on quite quickly, or 716 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 3: the water will balance right after a waterless or a really. 717 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 2: Low carb diet. 718 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 3: But the water comes back on, then fat comes on 719 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 3: and the muscle doesn't come back, and then you get 720 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 3: back to your normal weight eighty ninety kilos whatever it 721 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 3: might be, but you're proportionally more fat and less muscle. 722 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 3: That means you're resting, metabolic rate is lower. So you 723 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 3: go back on the same habitual diet and you actually 724 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 3: put on some weight and then you end up at 725 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 3: a higher weight eventually after the diet, and then you 726 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 3: go through the bloody cycle again, right. 727 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 2: And we end up being really low. 728 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 3: In terms of our muscle, and that caused a cyclopenia 729 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 3: and nostropenia, which in themselves are horrendous. Right, So people 730 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 3: are just by constantly going through this cycle that are 731 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 3: actually making their body composition worse and worse as the 732 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 3: ege and then they hit friggin middle age and then 733 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 3: the wheels come off. 734 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: Well. In that process, you're also disregulating your thyroid, which 735 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: regulates thirty sixty percenty of its metabolism. 736 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 3: Grant points do a bit of a dive on the 737 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 3: thiret because there's a lot of people out there who go, 738 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 3: I put on with it because my thyroid is not 739 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,240 Speaker 3: working properly. 740 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 2: Word does it all start? 741 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, the thyroids responsible for a significant portion of 742 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 1: your metabolic rate, and so if you start sort of 743 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: pushing it to extremes, it starts to downregulate your metabolism 744 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: and the reason which makes it harder and harder to 745 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: lose weight as you go. And you know, that's sort 746 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: of the group of people that I work with've often 747 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: been on a diet for somewhere between ten to thirty 748 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: years in some variation, and each time you come you 749 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 1: go into a hyper restrictive calorie diet, you tell the 750 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 1: thyroid and the evolutionary sort of markers in your body that, hey, 751 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: we've been here before historically in our genome, and whenever 752 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 1: there's a famine, whenever there's not much around, we need 753 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: to lower the metabolic rate to save the fat that's 754 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: on the body. And this might be the person that's like, 755 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: every time we go on a diet, I don't lose anything. 756 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: You might be at that point, right, because the thyroid 757 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 1: and other parts of your body are sort of saying 758 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 1: we need to hold onto this as long as we can, 759 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,839 Speaker 1: because if we're going to go through a famine, then 760 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 1: you know, we need to survive it. And then you 761 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 1: add back in all of the food when you decide 762 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: to either give up or you're sick of the restriction, 763 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: or you've changed your mind on what you want to do. 764 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: And then in this lower metabolic state, we've just added 765 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,919 Speaker 1: tons of calories that are also saying to your system, hey, 766 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 1: the famine's over, quick, grab everything, put it in storage 767 00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: so that we're not here again in this situation. And 768 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: so so that's why we gain the weight back so suddenly, 769 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: and often more than when you begin at the beginning, 770 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: and over that time you can really damage the thyroid 771 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: and end up meeting you know, drugs because you're T 772 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: three T four are sort of out of whack, and 773 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: the common tests that GPS will do these days because 774 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,280 Speaker 1: so many people have thyroid issues. 775 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And then you're add in psychological stress into 776 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 3: that as well from just life in general, and in 777 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:30,240 Speaker 3: psychological stress about my wit, and that then further impacts 778 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 3: hormones and all sorts of stuff. 779 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 2: Now, this has been very depressing to this point. 780 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 4: For the listener, right listening just to rip on about 781 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 4: how people are completely destroying themselves. So let's let's throw 782 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 4: our listener a rope so that they can clamber back out. 783 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 3: So where do you start with people ryan who have 784 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 3: issues around food that are largely psychological, which which most 785 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,720 Speaker 3: people's issues with food are generally yes. 786 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 1: So simply getting them to change nothing in the beginning, 787 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: which is that you take a little bit of a 788 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: stop take of the normal life. Because the way I 789 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: think about it is if you pull over and you 790 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,959 Speaker 1: know your car's smoking from the bonnet and you don't 791 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: lift the bonnet up, you don't know what's wrong. You 792 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: don't know what we need to fix. You're just like, oh, 793 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: my car's ruined. And it's like, well, is it your 794 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: car or is it the fuel pump? Right? And so 795 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: we need to we need to figure out where the 796 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: fuel pump is in your life, which is we need 797 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: to document food that I eat, What do I eat? 798 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: You know, this doesn't matter what you eat, it's just 799 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: we're documenting it. And then we follow it up with 800 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: where was I what's the location, and what are the 801 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,720 Speaker 1: emotions that I'm feeling? And many people in that phase 802 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: will realize they don't actually know what emotion they're feeling. 803 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: You know that then often not in a situation or 804 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 1: have never been in a situation where they have been 805 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: guided to feel their stuff and know what is like, 806 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: is it anger? Is it sadness, is it happiness? You 807 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: know what's going on? So we want to collect that 808 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 1: location food emotion because first and foremost we want to 809 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: identify where the problem, Well, where is the problem? What 810 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: is the problem because Saturday night cake, birthday party probably 811 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: not a problem, but Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning, Thursday morning 812 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: cake might be unhelpful. Yeah, right, And so we need 813 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: to figure out where that problem is. And then once 814 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: we know what it is, and usually in that first 815 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,240 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of just self awareness practices, people start 816 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: to realize they're like, oh, I always eat chocolate when 817 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm tired. Well, I always drink wine wine when I've 818 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 1: had a bad day. And you know, we're trying to 819 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: make these patterns really obvious, and then we sort of 820 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: dig into the why the wine or why the chocolate 821 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: is the solution, and that could simply be circumvented, like 822 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: we've already talked about by getting the lunch or the 823 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: meal before correct or diving into all of the emotional 824 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: reasons why chocolate's a good idea in that particular moment. 825 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 1: So it's very methodical in the sense that we look 826 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: at the past, find what's broken, deep dive on that, 827 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: and sometimes, to be totally honest, that can end up 828 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: at I was sexually traumatized at five. That can be 829 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 1: some really heavy stuff. But I'm not one of those 830 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: people that's like everyone's got trauma, we're all broken. Sometimes 831 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: it's like, Oh, I just got this idea from Cabury 832 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: Marketing and it's happened for forty. 833 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,959 Speaker 2: Years, you know, and it's so lovely, I can't stop. 834 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. Sometimes that's it, you know, and I won't even 835 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 1: argue that's that's sometimes more difficult to work on because 836 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: there's not much to heal there, you know. But some 837 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: of the deepest stuff we can make significant shifts with 838 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 1: because once we start reconciling and healing and just giving 839 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 1: voice to some of this stuff which has been suppressed 840 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: for so long that food we're using food to suppress. Literally, 841 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 1: the physical action of eating is like stopping words from 842 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: coming out of our mouth. If we think about that, 843 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: more like in a philosophical sense, we're plugging the whole. 844 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: That would verbalize the problem. And Freud talks a little 845 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: bit about it as well in regards to, you know, 846 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 1: the fixation that we have with the mouth and putting 847 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: things in the mouth to stop things coming out, and 848 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's some really great psychological 849 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 1: analyses on that obsession with our mouth. But anyway, but yeah, 850 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 1: so we start look at the past, figure out why 851 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 1: it's here, learn a bit of emotional literacy, and start 852 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: getting people to connect with emotions and understand their emotions 853 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 1: and give sort of labels to their emotions, which helps 854 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: people feel much more in control of themselves if they 855 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 1: can identify what is happening inside me. 856 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 2: That near it to temid thing. 857 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 3: Right, we're acknowledging an emotion and actually saying to you 858 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 3: either saying out loud if there's not people around here 859 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 3: going to think you're bonkers, or just saying it in 860 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 3: your head what emotion you're actually feeling. Actually reduces the 861 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 3: intensity of the emotion. 862 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:42,959 Speaker 2: Right, So I love that. 863 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 3: You bring that in and then around the whole built environment, right, 864 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,800 Speaker 3: what are your tips around out? They'll give you a 865 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 3: little story just to give you a bit of time 866 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 3: to think about this, because these. 867 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,760 Speaker 2: Questions are not scripted at all. Right, we're free wheeling. 868 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 3: But years ago when I was boxing, and my longstanding 869 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 3: issue never really been an issue with food, but alcohol 870 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 3: being arison ex military, right, which again gives you an 871 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 3: excuse to do the stuff that you shouldn't really be doing. 872 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 3: But alcohol was the thing that I really had to 873 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 3: cut down. And I found that changing the way that 874 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,479 Speaker 3: I walked home was really important because I would walk 875 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 3: home past Dan Murphy's and there would be times that 876 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 3: I'd be walking home. I even had a boxing training 877 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 3: session feeling really good, and I'm walking home when I 878 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 3: walk passed by Murphy's and then all of a sudden, 879 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 3: I find myself walking out of the shop with a 880 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 3: bottle of wine without even thinking about it. Right, So 881 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 3: that habit chill thing. And then I took it a 882 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 3: step further of just getting alcohol out of the house, 883 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,319 Speaker 3: and then it became a kes of, well, if I 884 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 3: want to drink, I've got to really really want to drink, 885 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 3: because I've actually got to go out of the house 886 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 3: and go and get it. And I would only buy 887 00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 3: enough for that evening, right, so that kind of lands 888 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,800 Speaker 3: in that's leading the wetness a little bit. Around strategies 889 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 3: for people around their built environment to help them to 890 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 3: manage food. What sort of things do you do or recommend. 891 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly what you described is changing the way that 892 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 1: you walk home, changing the way that you drive to 893 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: and from work. You know, if you drive home past 894 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,839 Speaker 1: KFC and you smell that, you smell it and you're 895 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 1: just like, oh, you know what, amazing, let's go when 896 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 1: you're tired and worn out, you know, you've got to 897 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 1: go a different way. Maybe even things like changing up 898 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: the way that your house is laid out. And I 899 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 1: know that sounds silly, but if you've been in the 900 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 1: same house and same environment where the problem happens for 901 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 1: twenty five years or even three years, it might simply 902 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: be rearranging the lound room, you know, so that you're 903 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: psychologically it's a different space. It's a new chapter. We've 904 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 1: changed something. I like that. 905 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 2: That's cool. 906 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that extension goes to the bedroom. It even 907 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: goes to And this is like a big concept or 908 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 1: like a big step. But some people, during this process 909 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 1: of going through the work that I do, a lot 910 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 1: of it is sort of reclaiming themselves is that they've 911 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: been violating their boundaries and not respecting themselves for a 912 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 1: long time. And what comes with that sometimes is the 913 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 1: cutting out of family members or people that are really destructive, 914 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 1: that are, you know, not being nice to you. And 915 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,839 Speaker 1: sometimes that can lead to people finding their voice and 916 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,280 Speaker 1: saying something they've never said to someone for twenty years. 917 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,400 Speaker 1: And you know, because now we're pack animals and fundamentally 918 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 1: we want to have a sense of belonging because that 919 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: means evolutionary safety, survival. And so once you build up 920 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 1: a bit of courage, and also you're starting to identify 921 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 1: your values with a new group of slightly healthier people, 922 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 1: you might think, oh, I actually don't need that person 923 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 1: that's been, you know, by whoever it's been bringing me 924 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 1: down my entire life or telling me that I'm awful 925 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: or that good things will never happen to me, or 926 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 1: my abusive husband or you know, and sometimes they're the 927 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: reasons why we're eating, you know, is that we're just 928 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,439 Speaker 1: perpetuating the information or the belief that they've pumped into 929 00:47:55,440 --> 00:48:00,120 Speaker 1: our head. So rearranging our physical location, the relationships of 930 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: life that might need attention as well, because that just 931 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 1: there's another layer of our environment, could be finding a 932 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 1: new job. You know, maybe you're unexcited, you hate your job, 933 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 1: and so the excitement you get is at you know, 934 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: ten am and three pm when everybody walks down to 935 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: get coffee and cake. You know, that's the excitement of the. 936 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,280 Speaker 2: Day, right, yep yep. 937 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 3: Another interesting little tip is to put healthy food right 938 00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 3: at the front of the fridge and the pantry, because 939 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,319 Speaker 3: the research shows you're much more likely to reach to 940 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,320 Speaker 3: eat the first thing that you actually see. So hiding 941 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 3: this that you know, ideally you'd have most of that 942 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,280 Speaker 3: shit out of your house. And by the way, stop 943 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 3: fregging blaming your children for your compulsion of buying shit food. 944 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,919 Speaker 2: Oh, I buy it for the kids. The kids don't 945 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 2: frigging need it any more than you do. 946 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 3: Right, there's so many people, Oh, I'm buying this for 947 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,960 Speaker 3: the kids, but it's actually they're buying it for them, 948 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 3: but they're just justifying it for the kids. 949 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 1: So well, the other just one other little thing I 950 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 1: was going to mention the food thing in the fridge, 951 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 1: is that a lot of people associate healthy with boring. 952 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 1: You have to put a little bit of time and 953 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,919 Speaker 1: energy into figuring out two three four meals two three 954 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 1: four snacks that are genuinely delicious. Thing, Yeah, you look 955 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 1: forward to eating like you you put it in your 956 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: mouth and you're like, oh, like this is awesome. I 957 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: love this and it's healthy. How amazing is that? You know? Yeah? 958 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's a very good strategy actually, because if 959 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,280 Speaker 3: we do still need to enjoy our food, right, that's 960 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 3: the key thing. You can't live a life eating bland stuff. 961 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 3: Well you can't, but you've probably got authorexia, which is 962 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 3: another different conversations. So high then, So that's a little 963 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 3: bit of guidance around people setting up the built environment. 964 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 2: There's lots you've. 965 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 3: Talked about about really understanding the levers. A couple of 966 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 3: things I want to talk about. 967 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:46,839 Speaker 1: Now. 968 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 2: You did mention the word values. 969 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,360 Speaker 3: I'm massive on this one, and look for me to 970 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,080 Speaker 3: again to to to throw out the alcohol example. 971 00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,840 Speaker 2: The one thing that has massively. 972 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,879 Speaker 3: Lowered my alcohol consumption to the point where I might 973 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 3: have to give up my Irish passport is connecting to 974 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 3: the value of authenticity. So being authentic is a dig 975 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 3: beheld value of mind. I talk about a lot of 976 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,239 Speaker 3: this stuff in front of people, but For me, it's 977 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 3: about I can't stand up and talk about the stuff 978 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 3: if I'm not doing the behavior. 979 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,239 Speaker 2: So for me, it's being authentic. 980 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,759 Speaker 3: Is the stuff that drives me to get out of 981 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 3: bed at half past five in the morning, like I 982 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,840 Speaker 3: did this morning, jump into my freezing cold swimming pool 983 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,280 Speaker 3: before getting on call. 984 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 2: Right, But it's also. 985 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:41,320 Speaker 3: That authenticity was the stuff that actually made me significantly 986 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 3: cut down. So what do you How much do you 987 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,959 Speaker 3: do on values and do you have any guiding principles 988 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,400 Speaker 3: for people around unlocking their values and helping focusing on 989 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:53,800 Speaker 3: those and on their journey. 990 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, except we do it through a lens of motivation. 991 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is that when I 992 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,239 Speaker 1: get people to do at the beginning is to do 993 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 1: it sort of a hierarchy or a pyramid sort of 994 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,760 Speaker 1: if you imagine a pyramid of a hierarchy of motivations. 995 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,040 Speaker 1: And the way that I think about it is that 996 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 1: some days you'll wake up and you'll want the abs, 997 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,920 Speaker 1: you know, you want to lose weight, and you're like, today, 998 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to the gym because yeah, I want to 999 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 1: look good, I want to look hot, you know, I 1000 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,840 Speaker 1: want to have some good sex. Whatever it is, you know, 1001 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 1: and for the woman it might be something similar, or 1002 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,839 Speaker 1: it might be I want the bikini body. Let's go, 1003 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,239 Speaker 1: and then you'll wake up tomorrow and you know and 1004 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: be like, you know what, fuck the ABS, I don't care, right, 1005 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,360 Speaker 1: And so this hierarchy of priorities is that the idea 1006 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,720 Speaker 1: here is that on the day that priority one doesn't 1007 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,680 Speaker 1: work or motivation one doesn't work, is that you go 1008 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,840 Speaker 1: to the next layer of depth. And for me, so 1009 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,040 Speaker 1: the thing one is like fit, healthy, attractive body, right, 1010 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,239 Speaker 1: that I'm proud of and that other people can look 1011 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,319 Speaker 1: at and be like, oh, MATI is a fit guy. Right. 1012 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 1: And layer two when I'm like, who cares about abs? 1013 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 1: Like it's you know, that's so superficial, Matti, like get deeper. 1014 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,760 Speaker 1: But day two is about my mental health, right yeah. 1015 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,799 Speaker 1: And it's like it's like, Okay, sure, don't care about 1016 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,840 Speaker 1: apps today, but I know that for long periods of 1017 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 1: time of not physically exercising, I can go to some 1018 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,239 Speaker 1: pretty dark places in my head and so awesome. Then 1019 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 1: level three might be you're the host of the how 1020 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 1: to Not Get Sick and Die podcast, like you can't 1021 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,400 Speaker 1: be seeing which is the authenticity one, right, Yeah? And 1022 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:18,799 Speaker 1: So this is what I get people to do is 1023 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 1: layers of motivations. And it's like, when the other five 1024 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 1: motivations don't work, what gets you out. It might not 1025 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: be a weight loss, right, that's yeah. It might not 1026 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,839 Speaker 1: be weight loss. It might not be mental health that day, 1027 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,880 Speaker 1: but it might be that if I don't do this 1028 00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 1: for my kids, I'm going to have sick kids. You 1029 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 1: know that'll die young. Right, But another day it might 1030 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 1: be the weight loss that gets you motivated. 1031 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 3: Classic self determination theory by Dakie and Ryan right crossing 1032 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,240 Speaker 3: the Threshold of autonomy. 1033 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:45,839 Speaker 2: I'll tell you a little story on this one. 1034 00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 3: The best one I've ever seen is that some leady 1035 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,200 Speaker 3: stopped me in the street years ago and grab me 1036 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 3: and went Paul Taylor, and she went, you made me 1037 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 3: cry in front of about three hundred people. And I 1038 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,399 Speaker 3: started apologizing and she's like, no, no, no, it's all good. 1039 00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 3: And it turns out she'd work for a big life insurer. 1040 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 3: I'd done a workshop and we were talking about behavior change, 1041 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 3: health behavior change, and I asked if there was anybody 1042 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 3: who was struggling to change the behavior and was happy 1043 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 3: to do role play, and she jumped straight up, and 1044 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 3: so went me, and I went, okay, so what behavior 1045 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 3: you want to change? And she said I want to 1046 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,359 Speaker 3: stop smoking. I'm like, okay, why is that important to you, right? 1047 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,280 Speaker 3: And she said because it's not good for my health. 1048 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 3: And then I dug and I dug and I dug 1049 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,880 Speaker 3: and then she just burst into tears and she said, 1050 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,839 Speaker 3: my two kids, who are eight and six, came into 1051 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 3: my room last week in floods of tears because the 1052 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,080 Speaker 3: eight year old saw on ad for her own TV 1053 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,319 Speaker 3: that says smoking causes lung cancer. And she said they 1054 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 3: had been to my mother's funeral three months ago and 1055 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,880 Speaker 3: somebody had talked about her dying of lung cancer. So 1056 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,240 Speaker 3: the eight year old made the connection told this little brother, 1057 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,360 Speaker 3: mom's going to die. And they both came into the 1058 00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 3: room and going, Mum, we don't want you to die. 1059 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,839 Speaker 3: And I said to her, bingo, there's your why, because 1060 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 3: I was talking about finding your why, right, And I said, 1061 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:09,799 Speaker 3: you need to remember that every single day, right, and 1062 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:10,760 Speaker 3: get up in the morning. 1063 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 2: Go just for today, I'm not going to smoke and 1064 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,960 Speaker 2: remember your why. And you know, she showed me. 1065 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:19,160 Speaker 3: She tattooed her foot and it said remember your why, 1066 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 3: and she had the insieles of her two little boys. 1067 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,640 Speaker 3: And she said she she tweaked what I'd advised her. 1068 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,760 Speaker 3: And she said she'd stand in the shower every day 1069 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 3: in the morning and she'd look at her foot and 1070 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:33,799 Speaker 3: she'd go, just for today, I'm not going to smoke. 1071 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 3: And she said she started wearing open top shoes to work, 1072 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 3: and she made a deal she was allowed to smoke 1073 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,640 Speaker 3: if she looked at her foot first. And she said, 1074 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 3: on at least one hundred occasions she went for the cigarettes, 1075 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,719 Speaker 3: remembered her deal, and that's when she looked at her foot, right, 1076 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 3: And that's so impressive, right, So tattoos people, tattoos by 1077 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 3: the way ahead if you want to change your behavior. 1078 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,000 Speaker 1: Oh, that's alsome. And it's the same, do you know? 1079 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 1: But but my theory with the sort of hierarchy is 1080 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:08,360 Speaker 1: that sometimes the core why isn't powerful enough Because you're tired, 1081 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,839 Speaker 1: because you you know, because you're tired, because the kids 1082 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,760 Speaker 1: are annoying, because work sucks, because bad luck's coming your way, whatever. 1083 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,319 Speaker 1: So we need multiple that might need to leverage you 1084 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,319 Speaker 1: up to sort of be like, all right, with a 1085 00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 1: bit of this and a five percent of that one 1086 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,719 Speaker 1: and ten percent and fifty percent. Yeah, all right, I'll 1087 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:22,399 Speaker 1: do the healthy thing. 1088 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, and sometimes you probably don't need to roll out 1089 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 3: to big guns, right, sometimes your first level one. 1090 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 2: That's why I really like what you're saying about having 1091 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 2: that that hierarchy of motivations because it's different levers that 1092 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 2: you can pull at different times. 1093 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 3: Okay, so big question. I know with what we don't 1094 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,880 Speaker 3: have much left, But I got to ask you this 1095 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 3: million dollar question. So many people self sabotage. What are 1096 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 3: some of the things that people can do to help 1097 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,440 Speaker 3: them not to self suppotize? 1098 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:54,920 Speaker 2: And why do we do it? 1099 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,319 Speaker 1: That's that is the million dollar question. Why do we 1100 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,719 Speaker 1: self sabotage? Why does any human do anything that's not 1101 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,600 Speaker 1: helpful for themselves? Right? Because any animal that is not 1102 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,720 Speaker 1: under human control is one hundred percent looking after themselves 1103 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 1: or the tribe, right, So we're one of the only 1104 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,319 Speaker 1: animals that's self destructive in that way. But I think 1105 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: there's a lot of psychological reasons why we do it. 1106 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,799 Speaker 1: Some people grow up with the narrative that they're you know, 1107 00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:21,640 Speaker 1: they're not good enough. Yep, Yeah, that's a huge one. 1108 00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 1: Sometimes it can be social. I can't be seen to 1109 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: be doing too well Australia is really bad for toppy syndrome. 1110 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,560 Speaker 1: So we bring ourselves back down, you know, we want 1111 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,239 Speaker 1: to make sure that again we belong and we fit 1112 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,399 Speaker 1: in and that we're not judged. And if you stick 1113 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,239 Speaker 1: your head up too high, you might get a chopped 1114 00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 1: to hoff that type of thing. But I think the 1115 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 1: main thing is that we need to create an enviiral 1116 00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,920 Speaker 1: where it's okay to succeed or we're celebrated for progress. 1117 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,319 Speaker 1: Another little strategy for self sabotage. And I'm not sure 1118 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,560 Speaker 1: if you've heard anyone talk about this before, but is 1119 00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:55,520 Speaker 1: that there's somewhere in many people's core needs or drivers 1120 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 1: for their life is like rebellion and fighting against the system. 1121 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,399 Speaker 1: And that might have been I'm a really oppressive parent, 1122 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 1: and I would say that that's me, right. I'm the 1123 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 1: person who is naturally extroverted, like really sort of out there, 1124 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 1: challenging every boundary, pushing everything. And so I have learned 1125 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 1: that if I do not have an outlet for that rebellion, 1126 00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,600 Speaker 1: it comes out in my relationship, in my food. And 1127 00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,760 Speaker 1: so what I literally gave this to one of my 1128 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 1: one on one clients yesterday. I said, go and put 1129 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 1: together a list of ways in your life, anywhere in 1130 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 1: your life or anywhere in the world where you could 1131 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:32,320 Speaker 1: actively engage in rebellion that allows that part of yourself 1132 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 1: to be nourished. For me, leaving the medical system and 1133 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:38,960 Speaker 1: running a podcast called House and Not Get Sick and 1134 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 1: Die is my rebellion. Racing go karts every Wednesday night 1135 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 1: is part of my rebellion, right, And so when I 1136 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 1: scratched that rebellion itch, it doesn't come out in unhelpful, 1137 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,400 Speaker 1: unhealthy ways in my day to day life. 1138 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 2: That is super interesting.
