The Project: Health Wellness and Psychology Podcastbased in Kuwait. With so much information about health and wellness out there, it is difficult to sift out the real from the fake and the informative from the marketable. At every corner there is an unqualified influencer or individual trying to sell the latest diet or quick fix. This show is not about making you buy something or trying to get you to become someone you are not. We offer real information, from local and regional experts, to help guide you to becoming the best version of yourself. Our hosts, Mahdi, Dr. D, and Meg all tackle an array of different topics. Our fitness episodes talk about programs, coaches, and dismantling the latest trends, while our psychology episodes focus on various mental health issues and coping tools. So, who are we?Meg: The Stress Terminator from America. She's a walking science experiment that helps you find a way when you're lost, out of time, and sick of the diets.Mahdi: A real-life average Joe who coaches baseball and fitness. Being in the fitness field for over 20 years, he has seen it all and tried all the fad diets and crazy workouts. Mahdi is known for never having a filter, especially when it comes to influencers and snake-oil salesmen, but his main concern is with providing the average person with the best information to make the best decisions. Meet. Dr.D: An amazing psychologist who teaches at a local university. She is best known on the show for being outspoken and honest. Not only is she very intelligent, but her humor, compassion, and insight set her apart from very peers. Haya: An academic at heart, Haya switched paths to become a competitive powerlifter and personal trainer. After having her son, she wanted to focus on rebuilding strength, and found a love for lifting heavy. Now her goal is to help inspire others to move more and live comfortably, while focusing on ensuring their bodies are moving better and not just looking better.

    Breaking up with gluten was one of the best yet hardest things I've ever had to do. It was a messy breakup, and the split came with a roller coaster of emotions. In Dear Gluten, It's Not Me, It's You, I compare breaking up with gluten to breaking up with a boyfriend. Mr. Gluten, it's over! While breaking up with gluten drummed up feelings of relief, it also created a slew of physical and emotional challenges. Breakups are complex, heartbreaking, and hard to get over. People suffering from a gluten disorder often feel betrayed by their bodies, abandoned by their doctors, and disowned by a society void of empathy for “gluten-free people.”  Dear Gluten, It's Not Me, It's You is a comprehensive guide to breaking up with gluten for good. I take readers on a journey to understand how gluten damages their body (why break up), how they can split with the offensive bad-boy protein (how to break up), and what they need to do to repair their damaged bodies (how to heal and move on). I intertwine how-to advice with both my personal story and gluten “breakup” stories from celebrities I've interviewed including Dana Vollmer (7-time Olympic gold medalist), Beatie Deutsch (champion Israeli marathoner), Dr. Patrick Staropoli (NASCAR competitor), Shannon Ford (2011 Mrs. United States), Nichole Thomas (basketball player and wife of NBA player, Etan Thomas).Support the show (https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl8NPB2H4Mf/?igshid=1m9w8d28oarlu&utm_source=fb_www_attr)

    girls shy away from barbells. A, because they think it just looks scary. Be they don't know, and just roll your eyes. Okay. And finally, it just comes with the stigma of the whole, I get asked this all the time, am I going to get bulky if I do this? So those three things, I think are limiting factors for women to even like go up to a barbell every single one I've talked to has always been like, it's scary. It's scary. It's scary. And I keep getting told, like, oh, but I'm going to hurt this and I'm going to hurt that and I'm going to hurt this and I and I have to explain to them that if you are a beginner, and you're with a coach and you have supervision, and you were taught how to do this movement properly from the beginning, you're not going to get hurt. Sorry, I'm going to blow up. I have one more story. To know I'm really bad at it. Let me just say one thing you have to love me You can't just talk. I will give you your time. Okay. Wait, 03:16are you shushing me? Oh my Oh Cho 03:18Yeah, you asked me on, because you needed material. So here's your material. So what am I first? 03:24Did you just say, 03:27let me get this point across one of my first pts she comes up to me and she's like, Listen, I have never really exercised properly in my life. So I know that I want to get stronger because she had like broken her leg. And I don't really know where to go. So I had this person who literally has never done a lot of like these movements before like a squat or a hinge or single leg or, or rotational push, pull all that fun stuff. And I started her like right at the beginning we worked on balance and stability and posture and then as soon as that was in the clear, I started with very light, just bodyweight movements to correct the hinge we worked so hard on the hinge and on the squat itself. And eventually we progressed to using a barbell and my favorite thing in the world was yesterday at our session, she sees the setup and she goes oh, we're squatting I love squatting. And it was just so cool to see her progression from never even exercising before to squatting 55 kilos for five yesterday 04:38and that's truly amazing. You know a lot of guys are afraid of squatting a lot of guys are afraid of squatting and dead lifting why squatting they think they're gonna blow out their knees and dead lifting they think they're gonna blow off their backs. 04:49Is that the narrative? Because I I'm only aware. I work at female gym. Yeah, and the guys that I do know already have a background in training. 04:59So no A lot of newbies, a lot of new guys will be like, Oh, I don't want to blow my knees or I don't want to blow my back. That's always the first thing they say, when it comes to squatting. Even Rami? Yeah, I mean, you saw Rami Rami. At the beginning, he was terrified. Yeah, to put a barbell on his back or to deadlift he was absolutely terrified. And the fact that he has developed into doing deadlifts, 100 kilos for four, and you saw him before, like he was hunched over and now he's like, upright, you know, feeling great. So a lot of guys did. And look, I have no shame in asking other coaches for help or for input on a client. If I think that I'm stuck, even in baseball for 15 years. You know, Tad right? Tad's like Mr. information, Mister like no at all. Everything. He knows a lot. That's definitely I'm not saying Mr. Know it all in a bad way.

So you can learn and play with your hosts make dirty and messy. You know, you go to an orthopedic doctor, especially in the private sector, I went to one about my shoulder, three of them here in Kuwait. And they all said I needed surgery. And it was one doctor in the states who said, No, here's a cortisone shot, here's three months of rehab surgeries, your last resort, you should never do that at your age, unless it's absolutely needed. It's funny because here, you just go right under in the night, three doctors wanted to cut me open. You know, after the first physical, 00:46we built our system based on secondary and tertiary care, meaning specialty care, right hospital care, we've put the hospital in the center of our health care system, which is the wrong thing to do. We are always ranked in the top five most diabetic and obese nations in the world, despite pouring billions every year into health care. But despite being building the biggest hospitals in the world, that doesn't work. 01:05There's a lot of people still like no, I want to see you face to face. I figured you know, by the time they'll get into a crisis, they'll have to use me online. But the idea is, is that this sense of confidentiality, this sense of things I can tell you because it's online, this fear of I'm being recorded, I have to constantly remind them, it's not like that confidentiality secured, you're not going to be recorded. So yes, I think people need to just be comfortable with this is the way it is. 01:34All this and more in today's episode. Hey, everybody, welcome to this episode of the project.

They deal with all things medical and psychological, which is something that we're definitely going to get into later. And the reason why this man went over my respect within the first 10 seconds of meeting him is because he said he did not like to be called doctor, I wish everyone in the Middle East would take that approach, instead of putting doctor on their credit cards, doctor on their air flight tickets. And mainly it's the people with PhDs is not true. That is so true is not true. No. 02:44No, maybe because he is more Western. But most of the people in this part of the world, maybe then Diem can say that most of the people here the real doctors, not the PhDs, they really love their doctor title seriously.

Oh, my mom's talking and Maddie Maddie on the pyramids, they have pictures right? helicopters, submarines, everything UFOs that and that's, that's legit. Like that is legit. You go there, and you can see it. And you can see the sun god and all these things. And when you look at this stuff, it's like, I don't believe with the universe as big as it is that we are here alone. No way. I agree. It is too big. We are literally like a grain of salt smaller than a grain of salt in the universe. And me and hey, I sometimes will put on you know, shows that talk about the universe. And you know, Neil deGrasse Tyson goes through it all. I get scared. I'm like, I want to shut the shut off. I don't want to think about this. You know, like, I don't want to know that I might get probed in 10 years like I'm good. You know, even the History Channel, ancient aliens. Yep. Ancient Aliens is a great one. And even like, well, it's funny, like Bob lazaar. And that whole thing, right? He was considered a conspiracy theorist for many, many years. And then finally this year, the government came out and they were like, Yeah, it's true. Like we have a lot of the technology that he's talking about and totally, like, vindicated him and all that and like for years, they made his life, absolute hell and pin him as a conspiracy theorist, but 100% as big as the universe is, there's no way we're the only ones. So I have a question for Dr. D, though, from a psychological perspective. Why do some of us believe in conspiracy theories? Is it something that we kind of try to latch on to for a moment of truth or is itSupport the show (https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl8NPB2H4Mf/?igshid=1m9w8d28oarlu&utm_source=fb_www_attr)
