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.

Alan Flanagan

In this episode of Fitness Unfiltered we delve into the latest poorly understood fitness hot topic, Intuitive Eating. We have spoken briefly on previous episodes about Mike’s Intuitive Eating Experiment, and who better to take us through this contentious topic than the most litigious nutritionist we know, Alan Flanagan. Those of you who follow Alan on Instagram (@thenutritional_advocate) will know that he pulls no punches in his "nutritionally agnostic” approach to the science and evidence base of nutritional beliefs, and provides a huge amount of education on some very poorly understood principles and paradigms. Until recently he has balanced his love of nutrition with his day job as a barrister, but having completed a Masters in Nutritional Science last year, he is now embarking on a PhD.

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.

Episode 26: Jordan Peters Part One - Brands, Life, Therapy and Self Development

The Team are joined by Luke Hoffman of The Muscle Mentors. Luke and the gang are physique coaches who are often seen advocating training methods and lifestyle suggestions that may seem a little unorthodox to many, particularly those who advocate more traditional "lift weights and eat well" approach. We thought it would be interesting to chat to Luke to delve deeper into the reasons behind his interest in things like sleep optimisation, blood pressure and heart rate variability monitoring etc. We also discuss where these factors fit in the hierarchy of importance when it comes to training, and their applicability to day to day people vs competitive bodybuilders (natural/assisted). We also clarify the correct pronunciation of GIF, and argue about cats. If you are interested in chatting more to Luke about this you can find him at @luke_themusclementors . You may also notice that this episode may sound slightly less audiotastic than usual. This is because Joe Brumby, our Sound Engineer, has had a baby this week, and due to Fitness Unfiltered’s good nature, we have decided to give him some paternity leave. This episode is therefore dedicated to Hallie Rose Brumby, particularly 51-53 minutes where Luke went to get his charger and we discussed our laptop woes.We hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do please give us a review and rating and subscribe to the podcast, tell all your friends and tag us in your social media posts!As always your Fitness Unfiltered Team is:@DrMikeThe2nd@ace_dan_osman@esgfitness

He discusses his training style, fundamentals vs minutiae and the effort vs workload. He also explains the important differences in training professional bodybuilders and Dr Mike (we were as as surprised as anyone), and he also discusses how anabolic steroids work, as well as touching on how they are discussed on social media, harm reduction and how he balances his own extreme aspirations with the associated long term health concerns.
