What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

Think you’re stuck with the body your genes gave you?

Doubt it.

This episode dives into the myths about genetics, metabolism, and why you’re not broken—you’re just not doing what you think you are.

We’re talking fat genes, Blue Zones, toddler-level self-control, and why ‘healthspan’ matters more than ticking off another miserable birthday.

No supplements. No cheat codes. Just fewer lies, more lifting, and the uncomfortable truth about what actually moves the needle.

Your genes aren’t your destiny. But your excuses might be.

Learn how your genetics may be affecting your health and fitness goals.

From the FTO gene to energy systems in sports, we’ll explore the role of genetics in your well-being. Find out if your genetics are holding you back!

Energy-Sapping Episode Quotes:

Genetics loads the gun. Environment, behaviour, and attitude pull the trigger.”

"You might live to 90—but if you're breathless tying your shoelaces and can’t wipe your arse, what’s the point?”

“The Blue Zones didn’t just eat beans. They won the genetic postcode lottery.”

“You don’t have to move. You don’t have to be plant-based. And you can still live a long life. But will you enjoy it?”

“Everyone wants the secret. It’s just: eat less of the shit you love and move a bit more. Sorry.”

“If your goal is to lose weight, you probably can’t keep eating like you’ve just been let loose at an all-you-can-eat buffet unsupervised.”

“There’s no such thing as clean or dirty food. Unless we’re talking about how you dropped it on the floor.”

"Your metabolism isn’t broken. You’re just eating more than you think and lying to yourself about how active you are.”

“Most observational studies lump chicken salads in with Rustlers burgers and call it ‘omnivore.’”

“People want ‘optimal’ health while sleeping 4 hours, walking 500 steps, and treating movement like a punishment.”

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

The first 10 minutes sound like we’re recording in a modly bean can, in a deep, dingy cave, underwater.

The audio is absolute poop.

Stick with it—after the 10-minute mark, it’s like Dorothy stepping into Oz.

Great start to the new professional approach.

Topics Covered:

• What “evidence-based” really means (and doesn’t)
• Why PubMed warriors and fat-waving influencers both miss the point
• Principles vs methods: the calorie deficit that won’t die
• Why people still fall for rat studies and scary headlines
• Correlation ≠ causation: the ice cream, sharks, and Nicolas Cage problem
• The placebo & nocebo effect—how belief changes biology
• What The Martian teaches us about survival, science, and spuds

Earth-Shattering Episode Quotes:

"You don’t need to be an evidence-based nutritionist to find out that you must be in a calorie deficit to lose weight."

“Just because something was shown to work in rats or a Petri dish doesn’t mean it works the same in humans.”

"I’m trying to educate without boring people to death. That’s the skill—not spamming screenshots of studies no one asked for and feeling like I have to wave pounds of rubber fat to get people's attention.”
