It's that weird time between Christmas and New Year when nobody knows what day it is, and everyone on the internet is arguing about whether to exercise and what to eat. We're going in... Social Media, Diet, Training, how to recognise good coaches through the mirages of social media and how to demonstrate that you might be a good coach on social media.

The Truth About Menopause and HRT with The Hormone Doc Annice Mukherjee
On this episode of Fitness Unfiltered we welcome Dr Annice Mukherjee, Consultant Endocrinologist to talk about Menopause and HRT. We delve into the truth about menopause and HRT and explore the benefits, risks and the wealth of misinformation out there on the topic. We look into the nuance behind recent headlines and documentaries, discuss why tides have changed so much on this topic, and also discuss the caveats and worries about overstating potential new developments in research and evidence. As ESG has said previously, if you are a woman, or if you know any women, this is a really important subject for you to know about.

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

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

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

Fitness Unfiltered Episode 57: 'Addiction', Behaviours, Coping Strategies, Making Weight, Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating
This week the Fitness Unfiltered team (sadly missing Mike) were fortunate enough to be joined by Rachel Hobbs RD PDip MBDA (IG: rachelannehobbs) to explore her fascinating work with, and around performance sport and her specialist eating disorders clinic. Rachel outlines the distinct differences between eating disorders and disordered eating patterns and what's almost become acceptable norms in certain populations. Are there links between addiction, perfectionism, preoccupation with food, certain sports and our bodies?
Rachel shares her wealth of experience with some real pragmatic tips for health professionals and listeners outside of fitness and health alike, in terms or when to refer out, where to seek help and advice, and maintaining a level of self care so signs are recognisable.
