WEBVTT - Pre-Chrissy Q&A with Susie and Leanne 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.320 It's been a long year, hasn't it. How are you feeling? 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.800 Are you feeling a bit tired, maybe a little irritated 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.760 counting down the workdays left in the year. Well so 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:15.000 are we, Which is Whileanna and I thought we would 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:16.959 give you guys a chance to do the work today 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.840 and write our script. So we've asked you for all 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.400 the questions that have been on your mind this year. 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:24.720 And we have never done an episode like this, and 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:26.840 we thought we would end twenty twenty two with a 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.639 big bank. So here it is Leanne and I with 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.239 our first ever Q and a session with some of 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:38.640 the most common nutrition couch questions. Hello, I am Susie 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.360 Burrow and emilyan Wood and each week we bring you 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.960 the Nutrition caut Podcast, the bi weekly podcast that keeps 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.159 you up to date with everything that you need to 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.640 know in the world of nutrition. To Leanne twenty twenty two, 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:52.680 you give me your summary. 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:53.840 I'm just exhausted. 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:55.400 I think about it. 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.320 What are you like? I feel like it's almost gone 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.840 in slow motion the last two years of like COVID lockdown. 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.920 I was like, I just think, I'm like, when's life 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.800 going to go? Kind of back to normal? And I'm like, wait, 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.880 I think this is our new normal. I mean, I 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:09.840 must say that my year was very blessed because it 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:11.680 was first year that we had mire, so I can't 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.800 take anything away from that. But in the same respect, 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:15.720 I think it just was a really tough year for 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.640 a lot of people. And yeah, bring on twenty twenty three, 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.040 I say, how about you. 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.920 Well, I think there's my twenty twenty two has been 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.760 some great highs but some terrible lows. So it's really 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.039 difficult to say it's been a terrible year because it's 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.560 been an amazing year for the podcast, and we want 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.360 to do a big shout out to all of our listeners. 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.720 It's really exceeded our expectations of how successful it's been. 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:42.280 We continue to grow. It's a huge enjoyment. We love 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.280 working together, so that's a big thank you. That's a 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.800 big pro But certainly had some downs man, particularly recently, 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.880 So you know, I think you know the game of life. 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.640 It's tricky, and we just power on. And I think 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:59.080 for both of us, bringing positive nutritional information to so 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.320 many people brings us great joy and for that we 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.600 are very very grateful. So thank you for listening. And 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.080 we don't take that for granted. Absolutely, But let's get 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.480 onto the questions because we can reminisce or we can 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.160 just give people what they want they out all right, 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.079 So I'm going to throw to you first, and I 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.680 think we just have some turns. Hey, have I got 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.560 a list of you know, we're going to take turns? 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.359 All right, So I'll ask you the first one. So 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.160 I love this question. Actually, what is the smallest change 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.600 people can make for the biggest weight loss results? 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.760 Good question, well, great question. Honestly, I think it comes 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:30.840 from nutrition. Like when you think about weight loss, I 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.600 think most people try to out exercise a bad diet 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.480 or they think I'm just going to start the gym 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.160 or hit it twice a day, or just go for 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.639 extra walks. And while I see in those great results, 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.480 but I think with exercise you have to add more 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.359 time into your day. And I don't know about you, Susie, 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.120 but who do you know that has extra time to 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.919 add more exercise? In nutrition is where you can get 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.280 the biggest bang for your buck. And in all honesty, 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.280 one of the best things I do with my clients 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.360 is actually cut down their snacking, particularly that non hungry 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.320 type eating. So when they're eating when they're they're bored, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.560 they're stressed, they are emotional, they've had a bad day, 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.720 maybe they've had a good day. They would reward themselves 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.720 with some food. It's all of that non hungry type eating. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.120 If you just take an honest assessment of a three 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.000 day food history, how much of what you were eating was, 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.200 you know, because you were truly physically hungry, and how 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.200 much of it was because somebody offered you something, or 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.240 you wanted the kitchen because you were bored, or you know, 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.080 you felt like a bit of a treat because it 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.360 was Friday afternoon and you think, oh, well it's Friday, 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.720 I deserve it. How much of it is because you're 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.560 actually truly hungry, and how much of it is because 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:33.320 you just felt like it. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.680 The only thing I would add is, I think, and 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.640 you alluded to it in the beginning, that people if 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.880 you go strict initially for three to five days, you'll 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.320 get that initial drop. And that's really motivating, because what 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.920 I find is that people do three quarters of a 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.760 meal plan and then they never quite get there and 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.800 they never get that initial change. So I think you 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.640 alluded to it in terms of diet or nutrition being 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.240 a big part of it. Certainly, I think that focus initially, 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.520 so starting a new regime or program, being able to 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.920 give it one hundred percent focus and sort of get 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.760 that deficit and drop is highly predictive of success, both 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.360 scientifically and also anecdotally. So yeah, if you are planning 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.760 to sort of give your diet an overhaul and really 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.640 focus on it, try and do it in a time 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.400 where you can over the holidays rather than sort of 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.520 let extra slip in each day and then get frustrated 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.320 that you're not seeing any results. First up, all right, 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.480 question for me, the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist. 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.320 We've had this one before, but it's always good to 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.599 reiterate because there's so many people talking nutrition. So the 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:36.080 first thing is, dietitian is a scientifically recognized qualification and profession. 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.640 So to be called a dietitian you have to be registered, 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.720 you have to have a university qualification and a professional accreditation. 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.560 So all dietitians are nutritionists, but not vice versa. So 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.080 when it comes to nutritionists, it's not a regulated term. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.840 Anyone can use it really, whether you've done a certificate 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.479 or have an interest even versus someone who may also 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.559 have a university qualification. Now I know many really highly 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:02.599 qualified nutritionists who have a degree and experts in their field. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.039 So I think the main recommendation I would have is, 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.919 if you're getting your dietary advice from a nutritionists, just 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.320 check that they've got a university degree, because you know, 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.240 you're playing with people's lives. It's important. It's medication, it's 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.240 disease states, it's disease risk, it's your health, it's your life. 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.599 It's a big deal. And I would be absolutely checking that. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.560 There's a big difference between doing a six week or 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.960 three month or six month course versus going to university 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.520 for three years and studying the science of nutrition, because 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.479 nutrition is a science. It's not someone who just loves food. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.400 It's about actually understanding the biochemical impact and physiological effect. 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.760 So you know, dieticians, as I said, are can be 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.520 specialized and working hospitals and are credited. But indeed nutritionists 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.240 can also be. But you just want to check they've 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.560 got that university qualification. All right, one for you, because 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.520 I don't use them. The best herbs and spices leanne 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:55.239 to spice. Some not use herbs as spiers to lazy. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.440 Okay, Well, I love herbs and spicies, particularly because I'm 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.040 a got health dietitian. And is that some new research 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.760 lately just show us that just a small amount, I 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.839 think it's something like, oh, I don't want to quote 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.200 this off the top of my head, Susie, like maybe 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.720 ten twelve grams a day. So small amounts a teaspoon 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.360 or two of herbs and spices a day, it can 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.680 make a really positive impact on your gut health, which 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.640 we know could in turn positively impact things like your 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.120 immunity and also your mental health potentially long term as well. 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:27.000 So my favorite garlic always chili, rosemary, tumeric, and carmittin. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.560 I'd love to add into a curry with something like 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:34.000 some coconut milk. I love adding cinnamon into anything breakfast Wise, 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.599 Paprika is one of my favorite things to add, particularly 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.520 if my clients don't like spices. They say, I don't 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.000 like chili, I don't like you know, garlic effects my tummy. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.200 I use a lot of paprika for those type of clients. 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.760 And then out of the garden, fresh herbs, things like 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.240 mint and parsley never go astray. If you're trying to 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.040 add a little bit more into salad. You know those 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.680 summer rolls, rice paper rolls, that sort of thing you 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.200 can do a lot. So I really think actually bought 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.040 one of our family members. I won't say I know who, 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.239 so I don't ruin the Christmas surprise, but a little 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.200 kitchen herb garden for their kitchen. It has like a 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.840 little light to keep them fresh and a little thing 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.320 you put over it to keep the you know, the 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.520 bugs and stuff out as well. So I really do 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:13.360 think everybody should have a garden except Susi, and definitely 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.800 a well stopped spice rack because we know of the 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.960 positive impacts it can have to your gut health and 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.320 when we're talking about gout health. It also adds plant 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.000 points to your week as well, so we talk about 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.000 different types of fiber and whole grains and legumes. Herbs 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.160 and spices are included in your plant points. So we 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.640 should all be aiming for at least at a minimum 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.120 of thirty different types of plants a week, and herbs 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.720 and spices are included in them. A lucky Persusi she 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.880 eats so many vegetables and salads that she usually gets 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.320 her thirty without them. 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.160 I use garlic. If that's counting. I use garlic. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:41.960 It's definitely counting. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.800 All right. Do you ever fight? No, we've never thought, 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:46.120 have we. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:46.480 No. 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.720 I think that and I saw this and I thought 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.120 it's actually interesting, isn't it. 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:50.880 No. 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.200 I think that there's a real mutual respect. And what 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.520 I've noticed is that if you say something to me 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.320 like no, we're not doing. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.680 That or vice versa. 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:06.000 Yeah, and I'm like quite like okay, you know, because 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.560 I really respect that. But we also would sort of 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.960 debate it, like we had an issue actually talking about it. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.080 Upcoming product manual, which we've launched, of course, if you 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:18.640 haven't already, you can get it at our website, the 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.960 Nutrition couch dot com, which is all our favorite products 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.720 in each category, so I must have for the supermarket. 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.200 But we I said to you that can't go in 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.080 it's got MSG and you were like, oh, come on, 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.000 and I was like, nah, I just can't no, because 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.000 I think that that is we're good communicators in general, 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.439 and we've said from the start that if there's a problem, 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.240 we're best just to bring it up, like if we 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.520 feel any resentment, you know, if someone thinks they're doing 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.320 more work, or they think they're not being paid correctly, 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.280 or let's just keep it very I'm quite honest. That's 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.319 one of my core character strengths actually, and I probably 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.360 think yours is you're pretty honest with things, and you're 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.040 a lot younger than me, so you'll be like a 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:55.880 been in a in a TIS like you'll be like 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.560 ma nah, and I'll be like okay, and you'll be like, 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.880 try to convince me, and I'm like, no, of course, 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.640 you know, because I do have that respect. But I 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.560 think we're also strong enough that if there was something 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.560 we did believe in, like I believed in the msgry 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.440 shouldn't go in. So yeah, I think I can't guarantee 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.040 it won't happen, But we've got plenty of other people 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.560 to fight within our day to day life. We don't 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.200 have to put it in pig fights with each other. 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:18.360 We like each other too much. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.720 Yeah, I like this one too. Lean Actually, best pub 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.000 food options. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.079 Absolutely the chicken. Put me you heard it here first, No, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.720 just kidds. I would probably say just the lean protein. 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.280 So looking at I always suggest like a steak for 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.679 my clients and they're quite shocked by that, but I say, look, 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.320 we're not going for the three four hundred gram rom steak. 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.920 We're not going for the massive marbled wagou. We're going 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.240 for the lean, smaller I fill it, which hopefully is 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.079 like one hundred and eighty grams or less, you know, 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.240 ideally one fifty. And then we're going to pair that with, 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.480 say like a jack of potato, hold the sour cream, 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.640 hold the bacon, hold the cheese, and you know, some 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.000 nice veggies on the side, or pair that with a 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.160 salad and a couple of chippies to round out the meal. 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.760 So my favorite options are always some sort of guled 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.959 prote like a I fill it, or potentially a roach 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.040 chicken breast, or maybe some grilled fish or even some 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.080 prawns or something. If you've got a fancy pub near 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.599 you and they offer some prawns. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.959 Yeah it's a good one, because I think people think, 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.280 O the salad's always best. But I'm of the opinion 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.160 that if you're at the pub, you do want to 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.520 have something pubby, otherwise you'll be annoyed and end up 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.320 eating lots of rubbish later. And I would be the 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.240 same steak or salmon or I don't mind if people 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:24.880 have a schnitty as long as they have it without 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.920 the chips, because I find sometimes it's very filling, it's 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.440 a nice piece of lean chicken breast, and I'll encourage 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.280 sometimes my ladies to take it home so they've got 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.000 something safe for their wrap the next day. If the 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.680 portions are quite large and it goes really nicely with 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.480 the salad, so then you've still kind of had that 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.040 pub indulgence. But the trick is, like we've said, you've 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:45.480 got to ask for the chips not to be on 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.240 the plate, or when I go with my boys, I 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.160 take them off my plate and put them on someone else's, 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.280 so I might have one or two, but I'm fussy 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.000 with chips as well. I won't have them unless they're 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.960 really good. So yeah, I think we're quite aligned with that, 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.040 you know, because I often have my clients will get 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.319 the steak sandwich or the rezoto and I'm like, actually, 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.120 I probably would have gone the shnitty, and they're always 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.360 a bit surprised by that. So yeah, if you're going 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.560 to the pub, you want something pubby, but also something 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:11.840 that's going to be filling and that you can get 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.200 some veggies or salad with. I also really like this 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.920 one the end, a dietician told me that I don't 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.760 need to lose weight, but I am obese. Should I 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:21.560 lose weight? 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.160 I don't know if the question is should. It's really 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.760 understanding the clinical impacts of that, because we have very 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.520 good research to showers that somebody who is clinically obese. 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.960 Now I'm not talking overweight, I'm not talking oh I 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.600 wish I could lose three to five kilos. Most people 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.760 who are, you know, by medical definition clinically obese are 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:44.720 probably WHATTSUZI fifteen twenty kilos heavier than they ideally should be. 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:48.240 So they're carrying additional body fat which is going to 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:52.280 have health implications long term, whether that's metabolically, whether that 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.240 leads to things like type two diabetes problems or issues 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.920 with their cholesterol, their blood pressure, or whether it just 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.000 leads to them wearing out their knees a little bit soo, 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.080 because if you're carrying an additional twenty thirty forty fifty 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.960 plus kilos around on your knees, you're going to wear 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.960 them out and your back a lot sooner. And I 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.079 used to work very closely with some physios in a 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.439 knee clinic, and one of the largest risk factors was obesity, 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.880 So I don't know if we're the right people to 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.319 tell you that you should. The real question should be, 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.680 you know, what is my health like? Am I happy? 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.600 Am I full of energy? Am I confident in how 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.079 my clothes are fitting? Can I go up the staircase 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.920 without feeling like I'm completely winded? Do I have issues 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.920 with my knees on my back? So I really think 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.760 it's a health implications. You know, how is my cholesterol? 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.240 Am I meeting all of my nutrient requirements? Do I 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.520 have issues with my gut health or with my digestion? 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.240 So I really think we just need to take a 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.200 step back, perhaps even take the focus off weight if 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.480 that's what you want, but really look at just doing 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.560 a general assessment of your health and your body and 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.480 seeing how you feel. I think it's probably the best 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:52.480 answer I can give. 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.160 I think absolutely. You know, the question is always you 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.600 have to answer it. Would you feel better and function 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.560 better if you lost weight? And for most people the 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.320 benefits outweigh the negatives, But that may also be timing. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.640 It might be dependent on other factors and things going 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.760 on in life that it's not a priority, or you 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:13.520 don't have the emotional capacity to focus on weight. But 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.240 I think that it has to always come down to 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.320 you and what your best self is in your body. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:25.120 And I would say anecdotally nine out of ten times, 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.880 if I have someone who's carrying significant amounts of weight, 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.400 if you brutally ask them, are they if they could 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:38.240 lose weight relatively easy easily, would they? I would vote 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.160 nine out of ten, would say yes, if not ten, 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.360 because it's for me functional movement of the body, and 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.640 when a body is carrying significantly more killers. I'm not 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.600 talking two or three or being you know fi, I'm 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.360 not talking being you know, sixty eight kilos. If you're 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.480 at your Lena sixty three, I'm talking being eighty ninety 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.720 one hundred kilos. You know it has an impact functionally. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:04.040 Don't move as freely, you get breathless, cut walk as easily, 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.840 you get sweaty, and these start to impact your ability 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.480 to live your best life. And I think that that's 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.440 sort of the question to ask, do you feel that 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.839 you're getting the most out of your life carrying that weight? 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.680 And if you're really honest, probably you know, if you 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.880 could do it without too much restriction and felt like 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.920 it was a lifestyle change. The benefits would outweigh any 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.960 negatives in my clinical experience. 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.080 And I'm just sad that that Susie does tend to 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.800 work with smaller ladies. So when you're saying one hundred killers, 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.120 you know, I've had clients were a lot taller, you know, 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.120 perhaps a lot more musclia, and they'd be, you know, 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.440 one hundred and twenty, one hundred and fifty. When I 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.640 used to work in the obesity clinic, the prebarioty clinic 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.680 at the hospital, I'd have clients who are over two 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.320 hundred killers. So I don't think the weight itself is 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.640 the well, the number itself is something that we can say, Okay, 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.120 if this is what you have to lose weight, if 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.040 you're this weight, you have to lose weight. I really 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.000 do think, like Zusie and I have discussed, it's really 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.600 about your health and your functional movement and your disease 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.400 risk long term and where you carrying that weight, because 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.480 we do know that the research shows is that an 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.800 abdominal measurement can actually tell us far more in terms 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.400 of your risk factor's long term than actually the weight 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:10.000 on the scale. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.840 True, true, true, And I will also say X athletes too. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.480 You're an ex athlete and have a sort of heavier 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.800 set frame as a result of a lot of muscle mass, 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.440 certainly you know the weights may not be as relevant 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.960 or probably waste is another good reference. If your waiste 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.080 is over one hundred centimeters leanne bone broth. Do you 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:27.880 eat bone broth? 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:28.160 No? 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:30.520 Don't do you? 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.240 Oh God, no bone growth worth? The hype is the 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.720 question for me. It's a hard no. I have so 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.080 many clients. I met one lady a couple of months 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.160 ago who signed up with me, and she was drinking 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:41.800 it for breakfast and that was all she was having. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.680 That was the first change I made to it die. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.920 I was like, let's get in some proteins, some glcium, 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:49.080 some fiber. I just don't see the hype around bone broth. 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.280 We don't have the research or the science to support 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.320 it by all means. If you'd like to use a 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.760 nice bone broth as part of a meal, like a 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.280 nourishing soup, by all means, but we don't have the 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.200 research to support that it magically heals your gut health. 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.240 We don't you know, the collagen and it the protein, 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.560 and it's just not worth it. As a standalone product, 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.840 you would have to combine that with a well nourishing 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.120 meal like a chicken and vegetable soup or something like 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.280 that to actually, for me, it'd be beneficial if you're 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.040 just going to sip on cops of bone brush throughout 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.640 the day. For me, there's nothing of research or value 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.400 to support it being worth the cost of it. Absolutely not. 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.720 All right, is lower cow alcohol better than spirit? So 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.320 I'll answer this one. So when we're talking about the 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.440 lower col alcohols, you might be talking about a light 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.560 beer or some of the new very low calorie wines 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.640 that you can get, or even some of those kind 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:40.320 of alcoholic celss like a water. Have to be careful 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.360 with that. So a nip of spirits is roughly sixty calories, 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.360 and a lot of those are pretty similar. I think 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.160 that for me, without having thought about this too deeply, 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.680 the benefit of a clear spirit tends to have less 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.560 preservatives and can be kind of a cleaner way to 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:03.120 enjoylcohol in moderation, particularly if you have with low calorie mixes, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.760 whereas sometimes with things like wines and beers you can 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.280 have additives that cannot be is what we'd described as clean. 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.600 You know and linked to stronger hangovers. But I think 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.439 that with alcohol, it's whatever floats you boat. If you 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.639 love wine and you're trying to control your calories, the 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:21.520 low coale wine's fantastic, you know. I like a clean spirit. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:23.640 I think you know you know what you're getting, things 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.320 like vodka gin with a local mixer. But it's more 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.480 what flavor you enjoy and what taste, as opposed to 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.639 drinking something that you don't love because you think that 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.800 it's better. All right, this one for you. Leanne, I 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.720 am so active, but see no weight loss on the 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.159 scale with what's going on. 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.840 The more activity you do, the hungrier you get. So 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:45.879 I would just check in with yourself and say, or 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.800 you're so active, why is that? Is that because you're 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.680 you're an athlete, or you're training for a particular goal, 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:53.359 say like you want to run a marathon in the 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.040 next six months. Do you need to be doing the 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.200
