Episode Description & Show Notes: This week, a fitness influencer went viral for saying people over 200 pounds shouldn't be allowed in Pilates class—and that instructors with a “gut” shouldn't be teaching. Yes, she deleted the video. But the damage was done. Thousands of people agreed with her. This is the fitness industry we're still up against. And in this episode, we're not just pushing back—we're burning the whole narrative down. We break down 13 research-backed reasons why building your fitness brand around body transformation isn't just unethical—it's lazy, outdated, and costing you money. What we cover: Why transformation-based branding leads to low retention and high churn How extrinsic motivation backfires (and what the neuroscience says) The impact of shame-based messaging on mental health How to actually build emotional loyalty that fuels long-term growth Why purpose-driven brands scale better—and feel better This episode is part reckoning, part guidebook. We brought the science, the lived experience, and the tools to help you build a brand that doesn't just sell workouts—but moves people. Whether you've already left the old model behind or are still working your way out of it—this one's for you. If this message resonates, share it. Post it. Text it to your team. Forward it to another studio owner. This is how we shift the industry—together.   SPRING INTO SUMMER AUDITS (Limited-Time Offer) Want to be sure your brand is saying what it's supposed to—and that your class experience is reinforcing it?

Bien manger pour être en bonne santé… y compris dans notre tête ! Et si notre nourriture avait un impact sur notre état de santé mentale ? Ces dix dernières années, un premier lien semble émerger entre dépression et consommation d'aliments ultra-transformés par exemple. Les premiers résultats de recherches qui se multiplient grâce à un nouveau domaine de l'épidémiologie : la psychiatrie nutritionnelle. Pour en parler, nous recevons Tasnime Akbaraly, chargée de recherche Inserm à Montpellier et spécialisée en épidémiologie nutritionnelle, qui a notamment travaillé sur l'influence de l'alimentation sur les maladies chroniques et la santé mentale. Nous entendrons également Aurore bénévole au Labo des savoirs, qui va nous apprendre comment la flotte britannique à gagné des batailles navales grâce à du jus de citron.

I denne episoden får programleder Ivar Brakstad besøk av Lisa Sølvberg, doktorgradsstipendiat ved Sosiologisk institutt ved Universitetet i Bergen, til en samtale om hvilken rolle sport spiller i ansettelsesprosessene blant ulike deler av den norske eliten. Sammen undersøker de hvorfor enkelte idretter gir kandidater et fortrinn i kampen om prestisjefylte jobber, hvordan fysisk kapital kan omsettes til profesjonell suksess – og hvilke sosiale skillelinjer dette avdekker i et samfunn som gjerne ser på seg selv som likt og rettferdig.   Physical Fit: The Role of Sports in Elite Hiring in Norway - Sølvberg - The British Journal of Sociology - Wiley Online Library

Can a student inherit time? What difference does time make to their educational journeys and outcomes? The Time Inheritors: How Time Inequalities Shape Higher Education Mobility in China (SUNY Press, 2025) draws on nearly a decade of field research with more than one hundred youth in China to argue that intergenerational transfers of privilege or deprivation are manifested in and through time. Comparing experiences of rural-to-urban, cross-border, and transnational education, Cora Lingling Xu shows how inequalities in time inheritance help drive deeply unequal mobility. With its unique focus on time, nuanced comparative analysis, and sensitive ethnographic engagement, The Time Inheritors opens new avenues for understanding the social mechanisms shaping the future of China and the world. Dr Cora Lingling Xu (PhD Cambridge) is Associate Professor at Durham University, UK. Cora is a sociologist interested in education mobilities and social inequalities. Her research examines how the intersection of class, time, rural-urban divides, gender, ethnicity, and geopolitics can shape social agents' educational and life trajectories. She is an executive editor of the British Journal of Sociology of Education.

C'est une question que beaucoup se posent au moment de passer au rayon boulangerie : faut-il choisir le pain blanc, moelleux et classique, ou le pain complet, souvent jugé plus rustique ? D'un point de vue nutritionnel, la réponse est claire : le pain complet est généralement meilleur pour la santé. Voici pourquoi.Le pain blanc est fabriqué à partir de farine raffinée, dont on a retiré le son (la couche extérieure du grain) et le germe (la partie nutritive). Ce procédé donne une texture plus légère, mais prive le pain de fibres, vitamines et minéraux essentiels. À l'inverse, le pain complet est issu de farine intégrale, contenant toutes les parties du grain. Résultat : il est bien plus riche en nutriments.Selon les données de l'Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation (ANSES), 100 grammes de pain complet contiennent en moyenne 6 à 7 g de fibres, contre 2 à 3 g seulement pour le pain blanc. Or, les fibres jouent un rôle clé dans la régulation du transit intestinal, la satiété (ce qui aide à limiter le grignotage) et même dans le contrôle de la glycémie. En ralentissant la digestion, elles évitent les pics de sucre dans le sang que provoque souvent le pain blanc.Une étude scientifique publiée dans le British Journal of Nutrition en 2017 par Y. Benítez-Páez et ses collègues a démontré que la consommation régulière de pain complet améliore la diversité du microbiote intestinal, ce qui est associé à un système immunitaire plus robuste et à une réduction des inflammations chroniques. Les chercheurs ont suivi deux groupes de participants pendant 8 semaines : ceux qui mangeaient du pain complet ont vu une augmentation significative de certaines bactéries bénéfiques, comme Bifidobacterium et Lactobacillus, par rapport au groupe pain blanc.De plus, les céréales complètes sont associées à une réduction du risque de maladies cardiovasculaires. Une méta-analyse de 2016 publiée dans The BMJ, regroupant 45 études, a montré qu'une consommation élevée de céréales complètes (dont le pain complet) est liée à une diminution de 22 % du risque de maladie cardiaque et à un taux de mortalité global réduit.Cela dit, il faut rester vigilant : tous les pains "complets" ne se valent pas. Certains pains industriels utilisent de la farine blanche enrichie de son, ce qui ne reproduit pas les bienfaits du grain entier. Privilégiez les pains portant la mention "farine complète" ou "farine intégrale", de préférence bio, et fabriqués par des boulangers artisanaux.En résumé, pour votre santé digestive, cardiovasculaire et métabolique, le pain complet l'emporte haut la main sur le pain blanc.

Why does the G in George sound different from the G in gorge? Why does C begin both case and cease? And why is it funny when a phonologist falls, but not polight to laf about it? Anyone who has the misfortune to write in English will, every now and then, struggle with its spelling. According to a study in the British Journal of Psychology, children take 2-3 times longer to grasp English spelling compared to more phonetic orthographies like German and Spanish. So why do we continue to use it? If our system of writing words is so tragically inconsistent, why haven't we standardized it, phoneticized it, brought it into line? How many brave linguists have ever had the courage to state, in a declaration of phonetic revolt: "Enough is enuf"? The answer: many. In the comic annals of linguistic history, legions of rebel wordsmiths have died on the hill of spelling reform, risking their reputations to bring English into the realm of the rational. ENOUGH IS ENUF: Our Failed Attempts to Make English Easier to Spell (April 15, 2025; Dey Street) is about them: Noah Webster, Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Ben Franklin, Eliza Burnz, C. S. Lewis, George Bernard Shaw, Charles Darwin, and the innumerable others on both sides of the Atlantic who, for a time in their life, became fanatically occupied with writing thru instead of through, tho for though, laf for laugh, beleev for believe, and dawter for daughter (and tried futilely to get everyone around them to do it too). Releasing from a staple of the New York Comedy Scene-Gabe Henry, whose previous book of haikus featured comics like Jerry Seinfeld and Aubrey Plaza and was lauded for its "wit and wisdom" (Dick Cavett) and "pure fun" (The Interrobang)-ENOUGH IS ENUF reveals how, and why, language is organically simplifying to fit the needs of our changing world. "Just look at our national spelling bee," Henry said in a recent interview with BIG THINK. "There's a whole glorification of complicated words. People pride themselves on mastering the complications and origins of our words. They want to hold onto that. The core of the book is that language is always changing - whether consciously or unconsciously, whether direction or indirectly - and no one should fight it. Language has to evolve just like culture, just like people. It's hard to accept because we want to exert control over the things around us, but it's like letting a child grow up. It's just the natural course." Henry's intelligent yet approachably laugh-out-loud humor will appeal to fans of Nine Nasty Words, Semicolon, and The Pun Also Rises, and the timing couldn't be better with the 100th anniversary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which Henry covers annually, happening soon after publication. Thanks to technology-from texting to Twitter and emojis-the Simplified Spelling Movement may finally be having its day.and etymologists, linguists, and book lovers alike will be keen to learn mor!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

ADHD isn't just a childhood condition—many adults go undiagnosed for years. Lenard Adler, MD, Director of the Adult ADHD Program at NYU Langone Health, breaks down the nuances of ADHD in adults, the challenges of proper diagnosis, and the latest treatments available. Learn about his research, the screening tools his team has developed, and what's on the horizon for adult ADHD care.

Parmi tous les sports que l'on peut pratiquer, le tennis ressort souvent comme l'un des plus bénéfiques pour la santé globale. Et ce n'est pas qu'une impression : plusieurs études scientifiques appuient cette idée.Prenons une étude marquante publiée en 2018 dans le British Journal of Sports Medicine. Menée dans le cadre de la Copenhagen City Heart Study, elle a suivi plus de 8 500 personnes pendant environ 25 ans, en comparant les effets de différents sports sur l'espérance de vie. Résultat : les joueurs réguliers de tennis vivent en moyenne 9,7 ans de plus que les personnes sédentaires. C'est plus que les nageurs (+3,4 ans), les coureurs (+3,2 ans) ou les cyclistes (+3,7 ans). Pourquoi un tel écart ? Parce que le tennis combine les bienfaits de l'activité physique intense avec ceux des interactions sociales. Or, la recherche montre que l'isolement social est un facteur de risque comparable au tabagisme ou à l'obésité.Sur le plan physiologique, le tennis fait appel à tout le corps. Il renforce le système cardiovasculaire en améliorant l'endurance et la capacité respiratoire. Lors d'un match, la fréquence cardiaque peut facilement atteindre 70 à 85 % de la fréquence maximale, ce qui correspond à une activité aérobique intense, excellente pour le cœur. Il stimule également les muscles, notamment ceux des jambes, des bras, du tronc et du dos, grâce aux mouvements de course, de frappe, de rotation et d'équilibre.Mais ce n'est pas tout. Le tennis améliore la coordination œil-main, la concentration, la rapidité de réaction et même la mémoire, notamment à travers l'anticipation et la stratégie de jeu. Ces aspects ont un effet protecteur sur les fonctions cognitives, en particulier chez les personnes âgées.Sur le plan mental, le tennis est aussi un excellent régulateur de stress. Une étude publiée dans PLoS One en 2020 a révélé que les sports de raquette, comme le tennis, étaient associés à une meilleure santé mentale que les sports individuels. Ils réduisent les symptômes d'anxiété, améliorent l'estime de soi et favorisent un meilleur sommeil.Enfin, le tennis est un sport qui peut se pratiquer à tout âge, avec des règles adaptables et une intensité modulable. Il offre ainsi une activité physique complète, durable et socialement engageante — autant d'éléments qui expliquent pourquoi, selon la science, le tennis est l'un des sports les plus sains au monde.

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, Laura Lummer dives into the real—and often overlooked—challenges of making and maintaining lifestyle changes after a breast cancer diagnosis. Starting with a powerful quote from Lao Tzu, “If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading,” Laura reflects on the emotional weight, conditioned beliefs, and survival instincts that make behavior change both essential and incredibly difficult.  Whether you've felt stuck in old habits or overwhelmed by the pressure to be “perfectly healthy,” this episode offers a refreshing and compassionate perspective. Laura shares scientific research, personal stories, and practical strategies to help you make lasting, loving changes that align with your true values—not fear.    What You'll Learn in This Episode:  Why trauma and resistance often block behavior change after breast cancer  How conditioned thinking and emotional fatigue affect your motivation  The two extremes: falling back into old habits or going “all in” out of fear  The surprising science on why a diagnosis alone isn't enough to change behavior  How to set meaningful, manageable goals without stress or shame  The importance of self-compassion and social support in sustainable change  How fear-based “health perfectionism” may actually harm your peace    Powerful Quotes: 

This week we are delighted to talk to the always enlightening Dr Christian Schweizer about his Research Ireland funded research on Dicuil, an Irish scholar who was prominent in the Carolingian Court in Aachen in the early 9th century. Dicuil wrote many fascinating texts covering a variety of disciplines including geography, astronomy and computistics, some of which, Dr Schweizer explains were annual "gifts" owed to King/Emperor Louis the Pious in return for his patronage. We also hear about other famous Irish scholars on the continent and ponder whether there are many parallels between their experiences and academia today.Suggested reading:-Christian Schweizer, ‘Categorizing Dicuil's De cursu solis lunaeque' in Peritia: Journal of the Medieval Academy of Ireland, xxxiii (2022), pp 227-48.⁠ https://doi.org/10.1484/J.PERIT.5.131906⁠-Anthony Harvey, ‘"Battling Andrew" and the West-Brit Syndrome Twelve Hundred Years Ago', Classics Ireland 9 (2002), 19-27.- Anthony Harvey, How linguistics can help the historian (Dublin, 2021), 11-22.-Sam Ottewill-Soulsby, ‘The Elephant's Knee: Questioning Ancient Wisdom in the Ninth Century', in The Historian's Sketchpad, November 30, 2023. ⁠https://salutemmundo.wordpress.com/2023/11/30/the-elephants-knee-questioning-ancient-wisdom-in-the-ninth-century/⁠- Tutrone, F.

A coalition of educators and allies has come together to push back against a variety of different kinds of attacks on higher education and students at colleges and universities, particularly in the United States. This group is driven by the belief that a democracy is only as strong as its commitments to academic freedom, intellectual integrity, human diversity, and individual dignity. The impetus among this particular group of academics and staff members is to make sure that students at all the campuses, in all the programs at those campuses across the United States are supported and free to engage in their chosen courses of study. The various ways in which this mission is being attacked or undermined, with the slashing of grants, attempts to control curriculum, freezing of campus free speech, snatching of students off the streets, and threats to the bottom line all contribute to destabilizing the educational paths of students, and the ability of the faculty and the staff to provide students with the education, research opportunities, and higher education experiences they are seeking at these institutions. I am joined on this installment of PostScript by three members of an organic group of educators—across disciplines—who came together in the early days of the new Trump Administration to try to figure out how to best support students at different institutions. One of the results of this collaboration among academics and educators across disciplines, institutions, and parts of the country, was to craft a letter directed at university administrators, governmental entities, and the public, explaining the value and import of education, especially in a democracy, and the need for a diversity of voices and contributors to that enterprise. I discuss the origin of the group, the genesis of the letter (which is available to sign here), and the deep concerns among those who work in higher education in the United States with Alison Gash, Daniel Laurison, and Nathan Lents.

Revolutionary new research is transforming how we approach postpartum exercise, and it's about time we talk about it. The 2025 Canadian guidelines for physical activity throughout the first year postpartum have finally been published, and they're challenging outdated restrictions that have limited new mothers for generations.As a pelvic floor physical therapist and researcher witnessing this paradigm shift firsthand, I'm sharing the ten key points from these groundbreaking guidelines that prioritize both physical and mental wellbeing. From encouraging early light activity immediately after birth to debunking myths about waiting 12 weeks for running, these evidence-based recommendations create space for women to trust their bodies and progress at their own pace.The guidelines take a refreshingly holistic approach, acknowledging that the postpartum period presents unique challenges that might make exercise difficult. Rather than imposing rigid timelines, they advocate for individualized, symptom-based progression and emphasize that some movement is better than none. Most importantly, they recognize the critical role exercise plays in mental health recovery—something I experienced personally during my recent miscarriage journey, where running became my emotional lifeline. This research confirms what many mothers have intuitively known: movement matters for our minds as much as our bodies.Curious about how these guidelines might change your approach to postpartum fitness? Download the full document from the British Journal of Sports Medicine website and join the conversation about reimagining recovery after childbirth. Share your thoughts and experiences—I'd love to hear how you're navigating your own return to movement!___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

In any organization sometimes things will go wrong or just not work out. While in many cases this might be due to mistakes or errors, at other times it is due to professional misconduct – often leading to significant consequences for both the organization and the individuals concerned. To explore the issue of professional misconduct in greater depth, I am delighted to be joined on the Brain for Business podcast by the co-author of a recent paper on the subject, Will Harvey. Will Harvey is a Professor of Leadership at Melbourne Business School in Australia and is currently the Director of the Social Purpose Centre, as well as being an International Research Fellow at the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation. Will researches on reputation, talent management and leadership within organisations. He has recently published the book, Reputations at Stake, with Oxford University Press and his work has appeared in journals such as Harvard Business Review, Journal of Management Studies, Human Relations, Management Learning, Work, Employment & Society, and the British Journal of Management. The article discussed in the interview - Why Individuals Commit Professional Misconduct and What Leaders Can Do to Prevent It – is published in California Management Review and is available to download here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/00081256241305815 Full Reference: Harvey, W.

Traditional postpartum exercise guidelines are being dramatically rewritten thanks to groundbreaking new research. As someone who contributed to this international Delphi study, I'm buzzing with excitement about what these findings mean for new mothers everywhere.The study's most revolutionary conclusion? For typical postpartum recovery, there are no absolute contraindications to returning to exercise. That mandatory six-week wait for medical clearance—the one that keeps countless new mothers sidelined while their bodies decondition—may not be necessary after all. This shifts our entire approach from restriction-based to empowerment-focused.Equally significant is the study's position on pelvic floor sensations. Those feelings of heaviness, pressure, or even mild leaking that many experience postpartum aren't red flags requiring medical intervention before exercise resumes. They're expected parts of recovery, similar to how we'd approach rehabilitation for any other body part. Just as I'd encourage someone recovering from a shoulder injury to work through some discomfort to rebuild strength, postpartum bodies benefit from gradually challenging those healing tissues.The research has led to the development of a new screening tool—the GAQ Postpartum questionnaire—which fitness professionals can use to guide appropriate return to activity. This represents a shift from arbitrary timelines to individualized guidance, giving women "navigational buoys" instead of blanket restrictions.For those interested in diving deeper, the paper is available as open access on the British Journal of Sports Medicine website (published March 7th). And stay tuned for comprehensive return-to-exercise guidelines coming in April, which will further transform maternal healthcare approaches.This research validates what many of us have observed clinically—that women's bodies are incredibly resilient, and with the right support, they can safely return to movement earlier than previously thought. How might your postpartum journey have been different with these evidence-informed guidelines?___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

Doctors Lisa and Sara are joined by GP and Medical Educator Dr Alan Ng, working in Canada. We discuss what Balint groups are, starting from who Balint was. We go through the structure of a Balint session and why they exist in the form they do. We discuss the advantages to both Doctors and their patients of discussing cases within a Balint group and being part of a group. Discussions can help us gain a deeper understanding of the doctor-patient relationship and discover more about the dynamics and causes of our stresses in particular cases.    You can use these podcasts as part of your CPD - we don't do certificates but they still count :)   Useful resources:  UK Balint Society: https://balintsociety.org.uk/ American Balint Society: www.americanbalintsociety.org International Balint Federation: www.balintinternational.com Balint, Michael.

Research published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia suggested that there are nearly 3 million general anesthesia procedures in the UK each year.  You might already be aware that there are various different types of anesthesia: local, which numbs a small area of the body; regional, which numbs a larger part; and general, typically used for major or lengthy surgeries, where the patient is completely asleep. Today we're going to be talking specifically about general anesthesia. How exactly does it knock patients unconscious then? How does it affect the brain? Isn't it dangerous?

Reflecting on the experiences we value most, many that come to mind are those we share with others. Consider the strangers we sit alongside at the football, the romantic partners who share (or endure) our favourite television shows, the friends with whom we dance through the early morning hours. Despite the growing ease of on-demand, private aesthetic experiences, we find ourselves carving out time for public ones. But why? In this episode, we'll be discussing the nature of interpersonal aesthetic experience with Dr Harry Drummond, Teacher in the Department of Continuing Education at the University of Liverpool. Co-editor of the British Society of Aesthetics' journal Debates in Aesthetics, and editorial assistant for the British Journal of Aesthetics, Dr Drummond's work sits at the intersection of aesthetics, psychology, and the philosophy of mind. For Drummond, the presence of others amplifies, redirects, and even unlocks experiences that wouldn't be available to us alone. We read each other's cues, share reactions, and create meaning together in ways that are subtle but profound. The silence of a cinema, the synchronised movement of a dance floor, the shared laughter at a comedy show – these are not just personal experiences but collective ones, shaped and enriched by the presence of others.

Oatmeal has long been considered a heart-healthy breakfast, but is it really as good for us as we think? In this episode, Jonathan and Sarah break down the great oat debate. First, they explore the different types of oats - instant, rolled, and steel-cut and how processing impacts their nutritional value. Then, they put oats to the test using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), comparing instant to steel-cut, with and without toppings, to demonstrate how blood sugar works. Sarah also discusses wider debates around oats: Are pesticides a concern? Is oat milk as healthy as it claims? Finally, she shares the ultimate guide to choosing the healthiest oats - and for those who prefer alternatives, she's got delicious, nutrient-packed swaps to try.
