1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: I'll get a bloody champs. I hope this finds you well.

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: So I gave a shout out on the socials as

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: the kids call them, asking for you, my listeners, to

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: ask me a question. Of course, my little disclaimer here

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: is that this is me just thinking out loud about

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: the questions that you ask. Some of them are silly,

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: by the way, which is intentionally silly, which is good.

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: We love a bit of fun. Some of them are

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: a bit more serious. Some of them could be outside

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: of my scope, but whatever. None of this is meant

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: to be a or is a personal prescription, but rather

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: me just sharing my thoughts on what it is you

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: are asking. All right, So I'm going to go pretty

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: much in order, and I'm working off not the U

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 1: Project you Project podcast facebook page, fuck that's a mouthful,

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: but rather my general Facebook page. So question one is

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: from Paul Ford. Paul Ford is a quite well known

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: elite conditioning coach and his own right worked in the

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: AFL system and I think Melbourne Football Club. It's got

20
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: a master's degree. He's a smarty pants. And Paul's very

21
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: considered question is why that's it?

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 2: Just the one word?

23
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: Look, Paul, thanks for taking the time. Great question, Ah,

24
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: my very considered question. Answer I should say, I'm a

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: very considered answer to your very thoughtful question is because

26
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: you're welcome, You're well. Our next question comes from Damie Damien.

27
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Damie Damien, who is also an old friend of mine.

28
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: Fucking hell, what is going on? Damien's question is? My

29
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: question is a multi part question. If you were a

30
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: fruit bat, would you consider it reasonable to eat the

31
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: peaches that I grow and then shit in my pool?

32
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: And would you then think less of me if I

33
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: didn't like you? Well, the answer to that is, of

34
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: course I would eat your fruit and shit in your pool.

35
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: Of course, do you even need to ask that I

36
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: would eat the fuck out of your fruit? I would

37
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: do all the shit in your pool. I wouldn't feel

38
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: bad about it at all, and I'd probably shit on

39
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: your head as you walked out of the house to

40
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: check on the pool shit status. You're welcome but nonetheless

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: still loved by me. And the last part of the

42
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: question is would would I think less of you if

43
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: you didn't like me? I would expect you to like

44
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: me less. So no, And now, after the superfluous bullshit

45
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: from my friends, thank you by the way, let's go

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: to an actual grown up with an actual question. The

47
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: grown up is Carla Fletcher. Hello, Carla, Carla.

48
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: Well, it's not so much.

49
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: A question as a there's no question mark in here,

50
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: but I know what she's saying. Exercise for someone who

51
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: is fifty six with dodgy knees and lower back and

52
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: a bad right shoulder, no idea where to start so

53
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't get injured. So if you listen to me, Carla,

54
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: you know that I'm going to say probably that there's

55
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: no you know, for me to not have met you

56
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: face to face, not have done any kind of assessment,

57
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: all of those kinds of things that would be unprofessional

58
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: to tell you exactly what you should do. However, let

59
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: me speak in generalizations. For somebody who is in their

60
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: fifties with quite a few injuries, it's going to be

61
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of trial and error. So even if

62
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: I was working with you one on one, I would

63
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: be doing some kind of assessment, and that doesn't need

64
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: to be anything overly spectacular, but it might just be

65
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: do five minutes on this bike at this let's set

66
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: the seat at the right height for a start. So

67
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: if you've got dodgy knees, and you sit the seat

68
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: too or you have the seat too low, it's going

69
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: to put more.

70
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: Pressure on your knees.

71
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: So when you're, for example, riding a bike and you've

72
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: got shitty knees, you want the seat height to be

73
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: so when you're pedaling and your foot is at the

74
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: bottom of the rotation, the bottom of the movement, then

75
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: your leg is almost fully extended, but not quite just

76
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: a little kink in the old knee. So with all

77
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: of those issues. At fifty six, I'm five years older

78
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: than you, so I don't think you're that old, of course,

79
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: But it's going to be rehabby stuff. It's going to

80
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: be light stuff. I'd be doing some strength training, I'd

81
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: be doing some walking, which you're already doing, and I'd

82
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: be doing some low to no impact cardio stuff like

83
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: I said, like the bike, like the rower, like the

84
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: elliptical strider or the cross trainer. There's a bunch of

85
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: things that you can do in the gym, but you

86
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: need to be prepared to get into the gym or

87
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: whatever the training environment is and just try carlor and

88
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: obviously start very easily, start with you know, low level intensity,

89
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: low volume, but see how your body responds to that.

90
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: So whether or not you're face to face talking to

91
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: an excise physiologist exis scientists like me, or a physiotherapist

92
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: or a surgeon or a GP, none of them will

93
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: know exactly how your body will respond to individual stimuli

94
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: and whether or not that's you know, walking up some stairs.

95
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm imagining that walking upstairs is not as bad for

96
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: you as walking downstairs. That seems to be the case

97
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: for a lot of people with knee issues. So some

98
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: fundamental strength training is really important. I've torn my right peck,

99
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: I've got both my rotator cuffs have been torn that

100
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: the muscles in the shoulders. I've had multiple injections in

101
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: my lower back for disk issues. I've torn hamstrings, quads.

102
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: I've had a million issues. And I'm not discounting what

103
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: you're working with. I'm just saying that many of us

104
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: get to a point where having a brand new body

105
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: with no pain, no injuries, no issues, is a thing

106
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: of the past. And so as we get older, and

107
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: as we try to maintain and improve and navigate the

108
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: territory of exercise and rehab and health and function and

109
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 1: wellness and performance, there's a fair bit of trial and error.

110
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: There's a fair bit of trial and error. So look, I.

111
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Don't know if you a member of a gym or

112
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: you want to join a gym. And before to all

113
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: of you people who listening to this straight away default

114
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: to I'm not a gym person. I'm not a fan

115
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: of people joining gyms just to go.

116
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: I train in a gym. The reason that I the

117
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: reason that.

118
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: I like people having a gym membership, whether or not

119
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: that's my eighty five year old dad who has a

120
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: gym membership by the way, or whether or not that's

121
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: an elite athlete who's in their teams right, is because

122
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: if you join a good gym, you are going to

123
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 1: have access to Most gyms would have a million dollars

124
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: or more of equipment for you to access for somewhere

125
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: around two or three dollars a day, depending on what gym,

126
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: what membership, you know, what you're paying and so on.

127
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: So and as soon as we say, oh, I'm not

128
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: a gym person, I hate gyms, well, we kind of

129
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: deprive ourselves of an opportunity to be able to use

130
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: some resources and equipment and tools which are really really valuable.

131
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: And there's so much even with injuries, and even with

132
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: issues and challenges, there's so much that we can do.

133
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: So next question is from Mike Creed. Mike asks why

134
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: am I so motivated? Why am I so motivated to

135
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: be a better version of me but lack the discipline

136
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: to execute?

137
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: So, Mike, I, I don't know.

138
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: Like to me, that almost seems counterintuitive, like that you're

139
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: really motivated, but you won't do it. I don't know,

140
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't The simple answer is I don't know. The

141
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: question once again is why am I so motivated to

142
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: be a better version of me but.

143
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: Lack the discipline to execute on the plans?

144
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: So rather than me tell you why that is, because

145
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I don't know you, and I

146
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: think it's different for different people too. But nonetheless, and

147
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm being fully respectful of the question, of course, I

148
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: completely believe that is the case for you, but I

149
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: think you know the thing for many people is that

150
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: one and this is going to be very Craig Hartbridge.

151
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: The thing that we need to do is not the

152
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: thing that we want to do in the moment. The

153
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: thing that we need to do the exercise, the movement,

154
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: the habit, the food protocol, the whatever it is the

155
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: thing that we need to do over the short to

156
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: medium long term that will create eventually create the long

157
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: term result we want. The thing that we need to

158
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: do now is probably not the thing we want to

159
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: do now. What we want to do now is eat

160
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: cake and we also simultaneously. I'm using that as an

161
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: example or a metaphor, but it's this lack of willingness

162
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: to delay gratification that for many of us is the barrier. Now. Again,

163
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: this is just me talking about this question, but I reckon, Mike,

164
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: there could be a scenario in your life which would

165
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: arise where given a certain event or scenario or circumstance

166
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: in your life, you would absolutely do what you needed

167
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: to do because you were backed into a medical, clinical,

168
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: or health corner. You know, the amount of people who

169
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: can't find the will power or the discipline or the

170
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: self control to do something something that's good for them,

171
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: despite apparently having motivation. The amount of people who get

172
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: some kind of dire health news, who all of a

173
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: sudden have all the discipline, all the willpower, all the.

174
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: Self control is many.

175
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: And I've worked with those people, and I've been around

176
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: those people who can't They just can't find it, and

177
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: they struggle to persevere and be consistent and to keep going,

178
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: and then they get told they've got diabetes, or then

179
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: they get told that there's some significant potential catastrophe that's

180
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: like five minutes away if they don't turn their.

181
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: Life, thinking, habits, behaviors around.

182
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: So, but on a much more practical level, Mike, what

183
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: I think is great to do is to create. You know,

184
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: so you say there's you want to be a better

185
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: version of you? Firstly I would go what does that

186
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: mean to you? Physically, mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, practically, So when

187
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: you say I want to be a better version, my

188
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: question is how what does what does a better version

189
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: of you look like? And what is a better version

190
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: of you doing?

191
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: Now?

192
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:42,359
Speaker 1: I would think that doing is habits, behaviors, protocols, diet, food, exercise,

193
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: lifestyle choices, all of those things. So I'm saying, get

194
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: clarity around what better you looks like, and then get

195
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: clarity about around what your non negotiables are, right because

196
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: right now those things for you are negotiable. That is,

197
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: you'll do them sometimes but not at others. Now, when

198
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: something becomes really a hardwide non negotiable, that is, I

199
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: do this no matter if I'm motivated, not motivated, happy, sad,

200
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: if it's sunny or fucking raining, if I'm in the

201
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: zone or out of zone, if it's quick or not quick,

202
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: if it's hard or easy, whatever I'm doing it, that's

203
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: a non negotiable. This is something that is hardwired into

204
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: your daily operating system. And it takes a while. But

205
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: after you get clarity around what those non negotiables should

206
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: be then or you want them to be, then step

207
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: two is create an accountability process around that, something that

208
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: will keep you doing the things that you need to

209
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:55,119
Speaker 1: do despite the peaks and troughs of self control, focused discipline,

210
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: all of those things, those things that come and go.

211
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: So what is the thing, what is the what is

212
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: the accountability? What is the tool? What is the resource?

213
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: What is the thing that will keep me doing those behaviors,

214
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: those actions, those protocols that create change. What will keep

215
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: me doing that when I typically would have given up

216
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: in the past because what you don't want to do,

217
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: Mike and everyone else is you don't want to wake

218
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: up in a minute, and we go, oh fuck it, now,

219
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: it's two thousand and thirty. It's two thousand and thirty

220
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: and I'm still going, ah, well, I would have. I'm motivated,

221
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: but I'm not disciplined. You know, I was talking to

222
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: somebody this morning about a guy I listened to. This

223
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: is not me, this is not original, but I loved it.

224
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: And this guy he was a coach, I think he

225
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: was a coach, and he was talking to these bunch

226
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: of kids who were athletes, students and athletes, and he

227
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: said to them, you need to want this thing. And

228
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: he was talking about success you need to want if

229
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: you're serious about it, you need to you need to

230
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: want this thing like you're a drowning person who needs

231
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: fucking oxygen. And I just think that some things we

232
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: don't want enough. We like the idea of it, but

233
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: we don't we don't want it enough that we're actually

234
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: really going to make it an absolute, overarching, no matter what,

235
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: non negotiable priority in our life. There's a big difference

236
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: between Look, you know, I'd really like to do that

237
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: or I'd love to achieve that outcome or reach that goal,

238
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: and no matter what, I will do the fucking work. Like,

239
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: there's a big chasm between there, and we need to

240
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: be more up the end of the no matter what scale.

241
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: Next question is from Andrew Sutherlane. Andrew, training with injuries.

242
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: As we get older, we all tend to carry some

243
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: sort of injury. Fuck yeah, we do tennis, elbow, b

244
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: side a sticky knees. I'm loving all these medical terms

245
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: or dodgy backs speaking my language. Disclaimer, I don't have

246
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: all of these, but training partners combine we cover off

247
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: most of them.

248
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: Of course, you do.

249
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: Some of these injuries just don't go away, so we

250
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: have to train through them or modify what we do.

251
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: Given yourself proclaimed dinosaur harps, I am indeed, I'm wondering

252
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: if you have experienced any age or repetitive injuries, and.

253
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: Do you have strategies for managing.

254
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: This is my life. You're talking about my life. You

255
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: are talking, Andrew about every day of my life. Now

256
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: that's not to say I'm majorly disabled or anything like that,

257
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: but I have like my body is almost never painfree,

258
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: and by that I mean there's not a thing in

259
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: my body that hurts at all. I never have those days.

260
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: So right now, as I sit here, last night, I

261
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: did seated rows in the gym. And Andrew, you know

262
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: what they are because you train. Most of my listeners

263
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: know what they are. It's you know, where you sit

264
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: forward and you grab a weight with a V grip

265
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: or another grip and you pull it to your waist.

266
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: When I grew.

267
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: When I do seated row, I do full range of movement,

268
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: and I flex through the hips and I bend right forward,

269
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: so my hands at the bottom of the movement go

270
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: past my toes, So I am using all the muscles

271
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: in my back. I don't sit bolt up right like

272
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people do when they do a seated row.

273
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: They sit bolt up right, so their back stays in

274
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: the same position as they pull the weight towards and

275
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: let the weight go to me. That is a shit

276
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: way to do that exercise. I could explain for a

277
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: bunch of reasons, but the main reason being now, unless

278
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: of course you have to because you've got an injury.

279
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: But what I like about doing the full range of

280
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: movement that I just described is that I'm using all

281
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: of the muscles from my hip extenses, you know, lower back, glutes, erector, spine,

282
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: a lats, rhomboids, rear adults.

283
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: All of those muscles get used.

284
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: But every time I do that, I don't get injured,

285
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: but I'm just a bit sore Andrew for a few days,

286
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: and it's muscle soreness, it's training soreness. There's a little

287
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: bit of micro trauma. But in a few days, I'll

288
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: be good. But right now, sitting here talking to you,

289
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: right now recording this, I'm a about a four out

290
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: of ten pain three maybe three, and it's not horrendous,

291
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: but it's there. It's there, and I know by tomorrow

292
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: it'll be a two and the next day it will

293
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: be one. Then I'll be fine, you know. But there's

294
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: always so the challenges. Of course, we want to minim

295
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: minimize our injuries as much as humanly possible, and the

296
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: injuries that we can fix in inverted commas great, but

297
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: there will be things that you know, just degenerate over time,

298
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: often these hips, joint sankles, ligaments, tendons, the spine, those things,

299
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: just those things. So my as I always say, with everything,

300
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: there's no best program, right but there's the best program

301
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: for Andrew Sutherland. So if I were you, I would

302
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: be figuring out what's the stuff that I can do

303
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: at one hundred percent, what's the stuff that I need

304
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: to do at fifty or sixty percent, what's the stuff

305
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: that I need to find another way to create intensity. So,

306
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: for example, doing what I just described seated row, I

307
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: can't go balls to the wall super heavy like I

308
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: used to, which in the old days I would seated

309
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: row three hundred pounds or one hundred and forty odd kilos.

310
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: Now my upper limit would be about one hundred kilos,

311
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: so two hundred and twenty pounds, so not the weight

312
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: I used to do, but more reps. So what we

313
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: are trying to do is we're decreasing the load, but

314
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: we're increasing perhaps the volume the reps. So we're creating

315
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: a different kind of intensity, but nonetheless still relatively high

316
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: intensity without putting our back under the same absolute load.

317
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: If you know, and I'm just giving you one example

318
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: there so you know, I know for me, for example,

319
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: I can run three days a week two or three k's.

320
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: If I ran, I could I could run ten k's.

321
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: But I know that if I consistently ran ten k's

322
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: in my sixty one year old body, unless I was

323
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: running in amazing shoes on grass with perfect technique, which

324
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: I don't have, but me just running around suburbia like

325
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: a fucking dinosaur the way that I do. You know,

326
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: running if I'm honest, mostly on concrete. I try and

327
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: run on nature strips, but concrete, bitumen nature strips. If

328
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: I did that three times a week for a longer

329
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: distance than two or three k's, I would get injured.

330
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: So what I do do is I realize that running

331
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: is good for me. I also realized that shorter running

332
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: is going to help me hold onto muscle more than

333
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: longer running, of course, And I also realized that I

334
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: can run two or three k's at a level which

335
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: for me is fucking uncomfortable. And even though it's not

336
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: a long distance, it's still quality training. So I don't

337
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: think I gave you a specific answer Andrew, other than

338
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: just pay attention to your body, and you need to

339
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: creatively find ways.

340
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: Remember the way that our.

341
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: Body, our body keeps adapting is through progression and variety. Right,

342
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: So if you do the same thing the same way,

343
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: same sets, reps, volume, exercise intensity, recovery time, blah blah blah,

344
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: same workout, same exercises, you know, same thing, same way,

345
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: you're going to produce the same outcome. And you don't

346
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: want that You either want to. I don't know how

347
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: old you are, but for me at my age, for example,

348
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: sixty one. I'm either trying to keep what I've got

349
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: without going backwards al with some things improve.

350
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 2: So what am I trying to improve? I'm trying to

351
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: improve flexibility.

352
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I fucked up one of my shoulders badly,

353
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: six badly six months ago in a fall, badly, like

354
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: couldn't lift my arm to take the kettle off the bench, right,

355
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: So I'm rehabbing that. I'm making that strong again. And interestingly,

356
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: there are things like I just describe seated road that

357
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: I can do with, you know, relative confidence and strength

358
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: and other things like I still cannot bench press, so

359
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: I trained my chest, but I don't do Barbelle bench

360
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: press on the bench. And there's a million reasons why.

361
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm going to put an asterisk. Maybe a lot

362
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: of us should avoid that exercise. I'll talk about that

363
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: at more some stage, if you want me to. Anyway, Andrew,

364
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: thanks for your question.

365
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: I hope it didn't bang on too long in the answer.

366
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: All right, now, just in cases is a bit stoppy starting.

367
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: I'm pausing in between. I'm pausing the recording momentarily, so

368
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: if you hear any weirdness, that's that. So I can

369
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: read the next question. So next question is from Kelly Smith.

370
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: Good a Kel. Kelly says, can I come and be

371
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: the interviewer? Well, let's get you. I'll tell you what, Kel.

372
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: What you can do is because you are quite good

373
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: at that, I'll tell you what.

374
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: Kel.

375
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: You come up with fifteen questions that you want to

376
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: ask me. It could be anything about anything. Um obviously

377
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: keep them somewhat in my wheelhouse. You come up with

378
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: fifteen questions, and then you can interview me on my show.

379
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 2: There you go.

380
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: Now the next question or the next part of that

381
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: is no. But seriously, my question is do you think

382
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: there is a danger of becoming too self aware and

383
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: over analyzing every part of your life instead of Okay,

384
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: I don't think there is a danger of becoming too

385
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: self aware, because self awareness is a gift. But what

386
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: I do think there is a danger of is becoming

387
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: a wess start again haaps obsessed with becoming uber self aware.

388
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: So I'm fascinated, of course with my research and just

389
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: with my life and my brain. I'm fascinated with self awareness,

390
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: people understanding what they're like for themselves and for others

391
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: and so on. I don't think we can have too

392
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: much self awareness. But I think we can overthink self awareness.

393
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: I think we can become obsessed in the pursuit of

394
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: consciousness and awareness.

395
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: And also the.

396
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: Second part is and over analyzing every part of our

397
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 1: life instead of just living and learning.

398
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 2: I one hundred.

399
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Percent agree with that. I wrote a post recently. I

400
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: don't know how long ago it was, doesn't matter I

401
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: write so much. But anyway, in the last month I

402
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: think where it was called something like fuck all days,

403
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: and so a fuck all days where you do fuck

404
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: all a fuck all days where you're not productive, you're

405
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: not proactive, you're not kicking goals, you're not ticking boxes,

406
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: you're not crossing things off a to do list, you're

407
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: not investigating the fucking meaning of everything and the meaning

408
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: of life, and you're not opening fifty doors a day

409
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: and being you know, the ever present students. Sometimes you're

410
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: just watching Netflix and fucking off. Sometimes you just fucking

411
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: riding your bike, or sometimes you just you know, putting

412
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: your toes in the sand or the water, or you're

413
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: just fucking you know, you're not learning, you're not growing,

414
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: you're not evolving, you're just being.

415
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: And so.

416
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: I am one hundred percent on board with this question,

417
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: and I I am, I might not seem it because

418
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: all people get from me obviously, because this is a

419
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: personal development kind of podcast, is they might think all

420
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: day every day, I'm just thinking about fucking human behavior

421
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: and psychology in performance. It's definitely not the case. I

422
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: think I would spend more time fucking off, goofing off

423
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: than the average person.

424
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: And why do I say that? Will one?

425
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: I live by myself, so I'm not saying that's a

426
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: good or a bad thing. I just live by myself,

427
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: so there's no one else in the house. I can.

428
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: You know right now as I'm recording this, it's eleven

429
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: twenty one AM. If I finish this podcast and go,

430
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna go midday, I'm gonna go

431
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: lie in my bed watch an.

432
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: Hour of shit. I can do it.

433
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't fuck up my day, it doesn't derail anything.

434
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: So I think there are definitely times, there are definitely

435
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: times where the most healthy thing to do, the most

436
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: logical thing to do, the most even productive thing to

437
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: do over the long term is to do not much,

438
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: is to goof off, is to have fun. I think

439
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: becoming overly analytical of everything can be a problem. All right,

440
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: and the next question is from Allison jen Hi. Allison,

441
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: what's the first thing you would recommend people tiding up

442
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: their nutrition for weight lot? You know, the challenge with

443
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: this question is there are just way too many variables

444
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: for there to be an absolute starting point that will

445
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: be optimal for everybody. For example, we can, you know,

446
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: we look at micros and macros, We look at fat,

447
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: protein carbohydrates, we look at vitamins and minerals, that's the

448
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: macros and micros. We look at calories in and calories out,

449
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of people would a lot of people

450
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: would answer this question, probably Allison by saying, you know,

451
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: just just make sure that your energy balance is somewhere

452
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: in the right ballpark, you know, so if you're having

453
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: two thousand calories a day in expending about two thousand,

454
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: so you're not in calorie surplus or calorie excess. And

455
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: of course, while there are many variables around how we

456
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: lose weight, and there are many factors which influence weight

457
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: loss and perhaps more importantly, fat loss, invariably there is

458
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: a caloric equation that needs to be factored in. I'm

459
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: not saying it's the only thing. There are many things

460
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: but that's definitely.

461
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 2: One of them.

462
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: But perhaps where I would start, and this is more

463
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: based on me, and I guess also a lot of

464
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: people I've worked with, which is trying to understand you

465
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: maybe didn't expect this answer, but the psychology, the psychology

466
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: and the emotion behind our eating habits, patterns, and behaviors. Also,

467
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: you've written what would I recommend for people tidying up

468
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: their nutrition for weight loss? I think people are far

469
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: more educated and enlightened and aware and knowledgeable about weight

470
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: loss and food now than we've ever been for a

471
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: range of reasons, the main one being we've got all

472
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: the information in the world we need pretty much our fingertips.

473
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: I'm also aware that knowledgeable people, people with the knowledge,

474
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: people with the education, people with the understanding, still choose cake,

475
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: still choose lots of booze, still put way more calories

476
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: in their body than they need, still make bad decisions

477
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: on the same day that they also want to that

478
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: they also talk about being leaner and healthier and changing

479
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: their body compositions. As an exise scientist and a student

480
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: of psychology, I am more interested in the why than

481
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: I am the what.

482
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: What you eat matters?

483
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: What you're putting in your body, how much you're putting

484
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: in your body, the quality of what you're putting in

485
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: your body, all those watts matter. But the thing that

486
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: I am most fascinated with, especially around this topic of food,

487
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: food and humans, is a fucking fascinating subject. Like we've

488
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: never had more access to my to more high calorie,

489
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: high salt, high sugar, high fat, low nutrition food than

490
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: we've ever had, like we have got you know, food

491
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: is so accessible, so available, and some of it so cheap,

492
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: and I in the middle of all of that, I

493
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: am fascinated with the psychology, sociology, and emotion of food.

494
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't do a deep dive on the actual

495
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: micro's macros calories in out as much as I would.

496
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: Why the fuck do I eat this way? Why do

497
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: I choose something that I know is not a good choice?

498
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: Why do I I consciously put things in my body

499
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: which are a form of self sabotage for the woman

500
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: who wants to lose weight, lose that improve health, improved performance,

501
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: improve energy, improved function. So as perhaps atypical as this

502
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: answer might be, yes, food matters, micro's macros calories, all

503
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: of that. The science of eating matters. The practicality of

504
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: eating what we're putting in our god and what impact

505
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: that food or booze or coffee or tea or whatever,

506
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: what physiological impact that has, That really matters. But for me,

507
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: it's trying to understand the human It's trying to understand

508
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: all of the decision making and all of the thinking,

509
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: and all of the storytelling and all of the behavior

510
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: around the food that I think is the thing we

511
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: really need to dive into. Alrighty now, I know that

512
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: was brief. But what I'm going to do because I

513
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: have an appointment in about ten minutes. I just looked

514
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: at my little pooter and I realized that. So I'm

515
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: going to do a few of these. I think three

516
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: or four of these little episodes. I'm not sure how

517
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: long this is going to run for this one, but

518
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: I'll come back later or tomorrow I'll do another one.

519
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,080

Speaker 1: And what I'll do moving forward periodically is I'll do

524
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: these as often as I can. Keeping in mind, as

525
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: I shared with many of you, I'm under the pump

526
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: a little bit with my with my study and my research.

527
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm swimming in the deep end of the PhD pool

528
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: at the moment, trying not to drown.

529
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: But I like these.

530
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: I think these are a good little kind of a

531
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: break between the end. I've got a bunch of interviews

532

Speaker 1: another one today or tomorrow. Definitely there'll be a few

535
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: of these up. I'll answer as many questions that you've

536
