Ep.182 Nutrition IQ 101
This week I’m joined by Ger, Rob and Anna to put our nutrition IQ to the test.Are seed oils really responsible for obesity?Does calories in vs calories out still matter? Is raw milk actually healthier?Are processed foods automatically bad for you? And should we really be eating like our ancestors?We get into protein, carbs, hydration, micronutrients, food additives, diet culture and why focusing on one “bad” ingredient can distract us from the bigger picture.We also challenge some of the biggest nutrition claims doing the rounds online and discuss what actually matters when it comes to nutrition, health, body composition and performance.

EP 181 — The Mirror: What Do the People You Judge Say About You? | Ger & Rob
Why do certain people piss us off so much — and what if our reaction says more about us than it does about them? In this episode, Ger, Rob and I explore the psychological idea of “the mirror”: that some of the traits we judge most harshly in other people can reflect our own fears, insecurities, values or parts of ourselves we've learned to reject. If you can't stand lazy people, are you terrified of becoming lazy yourself? If you judge people for wasting their potential, is it because you're scared you're wasting yours? If weakness makes you uncomfortable, were you ever actually allowed to be weak? We take the conversation back to childhood and look at where these beliefs begin — what we were praised for, what we were criticised for, the types of people our families looked down on, and the unwritten rules we may still be carrying into adulthood. We get into:The people we instantly judge — and whyPsychological projection and “the mirror”What our biggest triggers might reveal about usChildhood conditioning and family beliefsJudging laziness, weight, weakness and attention-seekingSuccess, ambition and wasted potentialMoney, status and feeling superior or inferiorWhen criticism is actually disguised envyWhy we struggle with traits we don't allow in ourselvesWhether our judgments are really our ownWhat we're most afraid of becomingLearning to turn the judgment back on ourselvesA conversation about ego, insecurity, childhood, self-awareness and having the courage to ask an uncomfortable question: What does the way I judge other people reveal about me?

EP 180 — From Ballet to Barbells: Starting Again, Getting Strong & Saying Yes to Life | Natalia
From choosing ballet over university and building a career teaching and performing across Southeast Asia, to suddenly losing that career during Covid and having to completely reinvent herself, this episode is about what happens when life doesn’t go to plan — and how you build something new from it. We talk about Natalia’s eight years living abroad, the fear she had before ever getting on that first plane, transitioning from ballet into strength training, becoming a PT, returning to the UK and going through some of the hardest years of her life. Natalia opens up about starting again in her thirties, therapy, relationships, rebuilding confidence and finding strength both inside and outside the gym. We also get into why she created Bristol Gym Girls, the importance of female friendship and community, training for adventure rather than aesthetics, burnout and our relationship with social media, buying her first home, rediscovering her love of travel, and now bringing women together for adventures around the world. We cover:Ballet, perfectionism and body imageEight years living in Southeast AsiaLosing her career during CovidGoing from ballet to strength training and coachingStarting again in your thirtiesTherapy, confidence and resilienceWhy lifting can change far more than your bodyBristol Gym Girls and female friendshipTraining for life, not just aestheticsBurnout, phones and switching offIndependence and learning to enjoy your own companyRediscovering adventure and travelDoing things before you feel readyWhy Natalia believes women need to stop shrinking themselves to fit inA conversation about strength, adventure, reinvention and having the courage to build a life that actually feels like yours.

Ep. 179 — John Joe: I Lost 75kg, But the Weight Wasn’t the Real Problem
John Joe’s story is about much more than weight loss. At 21, he weighed around 24 stone. He went on to lose over 75kg, completely change his lifestyle, compete in strength and field sports, and eventually turn his own experiences into helping others through coaching. But losing the weight didn’t automatically fix everything underneath it. In this episode, we talk about John Joe’s relationship with food, emotional eating, bingeing, body image, shame, loose skin and the constant “food noise” that so many people quietly struggle with. We also get into grief, losing his best friend, learning to sit with difficult emotions instead of escaping them, and why understanding yourself can be far more powerful than simply trying to have more willpower. John Joe shares what his journey has taught him about discipline, self-worth, happiness and why lasting change often has very little to do with the number on the scales. A raw conversation about food, weight, identity, grief, strength and becoming comfortable with the person looking back at you. This is Ep. 179 of The Uneducated PT Podcast.

Ep 177: Fewer Kids But More Sexy Underwear?
Episode 177: Are We Designing a Better Life — or Just an Easier One?What happens when there are fewer young people, more of us are staying home, and new technology starts changing everything from what we eat to the names we give our children?This week, Ger, Niamh and Rob join me to dig into some fascinating statistics about how society is changing. We look at declining birth rates and what an ageing population could mean for the future of work, innovation and who supports older generations.We also explore the rise in social isolation among young people, why Friday nights aren't as social as they once were, and whether Netflix, TikTok, gaming and food delivery have simply made staying at home too good.Then we get into the GLP-1 revolution: if millions of people start eating less and losing weight, what happens to fast food, fashion, healthcare and the wider economy?Finally, we look at the extraordinary decline of the name Karen — and how memes and the internet can take something completely ordinary and permanently change its cultural meaning.Are we consciously choosing how our lives are changing, or is the world around us quietly changing our behaviour?

The Importance of Teaching Asylum Seekers Not to Rape WomenIn this episode, we tackle some of the most controversial stories coming out of Britain and beyond.We discuss Home Office guidance explaining consent, sexual offences and British law to asylum seekers, and what its existence says about immigration, cultural differences and integration.We also look at the conviction of former police officer Stephen Gray over an offensive meme about Islam and ask whether Britain is allowing blasphemy laws to return through the back door.
