Podcasts about fuelling

The family of Stephen Ogilvie, the victim of the Belfast stabbing, has called for calm and said they don't want the “terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostility.”, as Sudanese national Hadi Alodid was charged with attempted murder, threats to kill an NHS radiographer and possession of a knife. Last night, violence spread across parts of Belfast, with police attacked, properties damaged and communities left on edge after a video of the attack was shared online. Politicians and police have pointed to the role of social media, misinformation and outside agitators. But what is really driving the disorder?On this episode of The Fourcast, Jackie Long explores what's happening in Northern Ireland, why immigration has become such a political flashpoint, and whether far-right voices are helping fuel tensions online.Jackie is joined by Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at The Irish News, former Metropolitan Police officer Victor Olisa, and Robert Topinka, lecturer and researcher on far-right movements and online radicalisation.

What happens when the medical system tells you you're clear, but the hardest part of your recovery is actually just beginning? In this special roundtable episode, brought to you in partnership with Postcode Lottery, we explore the unseen side of living through and beyond cancer.Joining Jake in the studio are legendary solo sailor Dame Ellen MacArthur, Frank Fletcher (CEO of the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust), and Josh Rands, a young survivor who rebuilt his life after a rare cancer diagnosis at just 19. Together, they share a raw, open conversation about why true bravery isn't always something you choose, the reality of life when treatment structures suddenly fall away, and how reclaiming independence on the open sea can give young people their futures back. It's a powerful look at resilience, the daily grind of running a purpose-driven charity, and why finding a genuine sense of belonging is often the ultimate medicine.Postcode Lottery

In this masterclass, I'm pulling back the curtain on everything I teach inside my eight-week program Ignite and distilling it into one power-packed masterclass. If you've been doing "all the things" and still feel like your body isn't responding, this one is for you.   What We Cover: The difference between metabolism, metabolic health, and hormonal changes — because they are not the same thing, and confusing them is costing you results. The top 5 struggles women come to us with: Metabolic dysfunction (gaining weight, energy crashes, cravings) Hormonal chaos (mood swings, anxiety, irritability) Sleep disruption (why 1–4 AM wake-ups are telling you something) Loss of body confidence and identity Information overload and no clear strategy Why your symptoms are the messenger, not the root cause — and how to start asking the right questions of your doctors, trainers, and yourself. Blood sugar & insulin — the most underutilized tool for stabilizing blood sugar isn't a supplement. It's strength training. Protein: the non-negotiable macro — how much you actually need (hint: most women are underestimating), how to hit 30–40g per meal, and why food prep beats meal prep every time. Building muscle in your 40s, 50s & 60s — what progressive overload actually means, why cardio classes are not your best investment, and the five non-negotiables for real body recomposition. Why eating less and pushing harder is working against you — and what to do instead. Thyroid health & Hashimoto's — what to ask your doctor to test (beyond TSH), why antibodies matter, and how Christine got her Hashi's into remission. The scale is the last metric we use — progress photos, tracking your lifts, and measuring what actually matters. Food noise, GLP-1s & the wellness marketing machine — how to cut through the noise and find what your body actually needs. Key Takeaways: Your muscle mass impacts your metabolism more than your age does One poor night of sleep is enough to dysregulate hunger hormones and increase cravings Consistency over perfection — nail one habit before adding another Stop cutting carbs; your thyroid needs them The boring basics work. My most successful clients are my most "boring" ones. You don't need more equipment — you need more education about your body   Mentioned in This Episode: Andrea Donsky's book Nourishing Menopause and her research on 103 symptoms of perimenopause/menopause Dr. Bill Campbell's body composition lab at the University of South Florida MyFitnessPal for macro tracking Jill Harris as a client case study (9 lbs lost, Hashimoto's into remission over 3 years) Vitract / Tiny Gut Health for stool/microbiome testing   Let's dive in!

In this Delirious W.E.S.T 2026 athlete wrap-up episode, I catch up with the wonderfully tough, funny and no-nonsense Sym Mercer after her 200-mile adventure. Sym had a chilled drive across the Nullarbor - complete with a very questionable golf performance along the way - and arrived at Delirious ready to finally get moving after months of build-up, planning, podcast check-ins and travel. But, as we all know, 200-mile events rarely go exactly to plan. Early in the race, Sym's pack wasn't sitting quite right, then a couple of unlucky battles with sticks jarred her knee - the second one changing the whole direction of her race. From there, running became difficult, downhill became seriously painful, and what was meant to be a much faster finish turned into a massive hike, grit-fest and full-body exercise in determination. There were dry retches, bile, dirt naps, warmed-up coconut chocolate water, crew checkpoints, toddler-style food negotiations, squeaky pain noises, and one very clear thought from Sym: she did not want to spend another night out there. But at no point did she decide she was done. With her amazing crew - Paul, Ed, Libby, Trace, Ali and her dad - helping her regroup, sleep, eat, hydrate and keep moving, Sym found a way to get herself to the finish line around 1am Sunday morning. It may have been about 10 hours later than planned, but in true Sym style, the job was done. We also chat about coming back to reality after a huge event, the strange brain fog of returning to work, why these big adventures are such a powerful mental reset, and what Sym learned about fuelling in cooler conditions. And because apparently resting is optional, Sym already has more adventures on the horizon, including pacing at West Macs, heading back to Coast to Coast in New Zealand, and taking on Race Across Scotland. This is a brilliant, honest, funny and quietly powerful conversation about problem-solving, crew support, digging deep, and getting it done even when the original plan has completely gone out the window. Why You'll Love This Episode Sym's very casual approach to driving across the Nullarbor and playing golf badly along the way The moment a simple trip changed the whole race How she managed knee pain for a huge part of the 200 miler Why fuelling in cool weather caught her by surprise The incredible role her crew played in keeping her moving Dirt naps, emergency bivvies and “squeaky noise” monitoring The mental simplicity of ultra events - eat, move, change socks, repeat The shock of returning to real life afterwards Sym's reflections on finishing even when the race doesn't go to plan A sneak peek at her next big adventures Tips from Sym's 200-Mile Adventure 1. Things can change in a split second You can be fit, prepared and ready - then one little trip, fall or jar can completely change the race. That doesn't mean the race is over. It just means the plan has changed. 2. Fuelling still matters when it's cold Sym was eating and drinking, but not enough. Cooler weather made it harder to read her body's needs, and that caught up with her later in the race. 3. A good crew is everything Sym's crew didn't just cheer her on - they made decisions, adjusted pacing plans, got food and fluids into her, monitored her condition and helped her keep moving safely. 4. You don't have to feel amazing to keep going Sometimes finishing looks less like running strong and more like walking, squeaking, swearing at bitumen and refusing to stop. 5. Big events strip life right back No emails. No work decisions. No legislation. Just: what do I need to eat, how do I get to the next checkpoint, and can someone please tell me which socks to wear?

Nutrition is one of the most underestimated parts of bikepacking and ultra-distance racing. We can dial our kit, obsess over our gear, train for months — but if we're not fuelling well, none of it matters. This week, Dietician Uri Carlson is back on Detours, and this time we had a very specific agenda: Highland Trail 550 is on the horizon, and this year I'll be lining up for my first time, and I wanted to make sure I left no stone unturned.  We get into carb loading — when to start and how to think about it for a multi-day race that lasts a week — resupply strategy, hydration ranges, gut health and the microbiome, what to do when you're too nauseous to eat but still have a long way to go, and why under-fuelling is a bigger threat to your gut than any high-carb gel. A lot of the specifics are Highland Trail flavoured, but the fuelling principles apply to any ultra-endurance adventure you've got on the horizon.

Most people approach a fat loss phase with one thought:“Just hit the calories.”As you get leaner the margin for error gets smaller.In this episode of The Natural Physique Podcast, I break down: • Why hypertrophy performance is heavily fuel dependent • How poor nutrient timing can reduce output • Why food selection matters more later in a deficit • The relationship between glycogen, recovery & muscle retention • Why deep into prep, food becomes more than “just macros”Anybody can create a calorie deficit.The real skill?Maintaining the highest possible level of performance while getting lean.This is the difference between simply losing weight… and actually preserving a physique.

In this special cross-over episode with our sibling podcast, The Shakeout over at Canadian Running, host John Gay speaks with sport science writer Alex Hutchinson about the high-carb fuelling revolution that endurance sports are experiencing. Hutchinson remarks that cycling has a notable role in the latest craze. Check out the discussion that applies to marathon runners, Tour de France riders, and even cyclists like you. Also, editors Matthew Pioro, Matt Hansen and James Bunga, who is finishing up his time in northern Europe, look back on the Classics.

The London Marathon 2026 saw Kenyan long-distance runner Sabastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha of Ethiopia shatter the two-hour barrier. Sawe reset the world record for men's, while Ethiopian long-distance runner Tigst Assefa set a new women's world record, beating her own best. In Episode 1831 of Cut The Clutter, ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains the significance of these developments, how science & tech are fuelling ambition in sports and the super shoe race

In this episode, I sit down with Patrick McKeown to explore something we all think we've mastered - breathing. Turns out, many of us have been doing it wrong our entire lives! We dive into the surprising idea that breathing more can actually deliver less oxygen, and why carbon dioxide might not be the enemy we thought it was.Patrick explains how your breath acts as a remote control for your nervous system, and how simple shifts - like nasal breathing - can improve sleep, focus, and reduce anxiety. This one really hit home for me. Looking back, I can see how my own anxiety, poor sleep, and even negative thinking were tied to dysfunctional breathing patterns I never questioned.The good news? You don't need anything complicated. Just awareness, small changes, and a willingness to retrain something you've been doing since birth.For more information on Patrick's work check out oxygenadvantage.com (Including the Nasal 5K Running Challenge, Free Breathing App, 3-Day Immersive Certification Training, Free Resource Hub, which includes guided audios, podcasts, blogs and more!) and buteykoclinic.com for health-related issues (e.g.asthma, anxiety/panic disorder, sleep).

The race among top AI companies to build ever more powerful systems is accelerating, and so are fears about losing control. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is at the centre of the debate, which came to a head last week after the New Yorker released an investigation about him, and a series of attacks took place near his home. Danny Fortson and Katie Prescott discuss how we got here and why Altman is becoming the face of global anxiety about AI.

In this episode, we speak with Bruce Fleming, CEO of Montana Renewables, the leading producer of sustainable aviation fuel in the United States. Rather than building a new SAF facility from the ground up, Montana Renewables converted a portion of an existing crude oil refinery in Great Falls, Montana to process feedstocks including used cooking oil, agricultural waste, and emerging crops into SAF, renewable diesel, and renewable hydrogen.Fleming discusses:The retrofit model: Why converting an existing crude oil refinery is a fundamentally different capital proposition from building a greenfield SAF plant.Feedstock agnosticism: Why the company is indifferent to which renewable feedstocks run through its system, including its claim to be the first producer to have made SAF from camelina, a cover crop that does not compete with food production and carries a very low carbon intensity score.The investment drought: Why private capital has effectively exited the SAF space, and the direct link between regulatory unpredictability and the absence of long-term investment. The book-and-claim efficiency case: Why separating the physical movement of SAF from its associated emissions certificate could save a dollar per gallon in logistics costs, and how a global book-and-claim system could accelerate SAF adoption.Fuelling small, not large: Why the immediate SAF opportunity lies in general aviation and regional operations rather than long-haul commercial carriers.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Adam Klauber, Chief Sustainability Officer at World Energy, who shares how the book-and-claim model has evolved from a concept to a practical mechanism for scaling corporate demand for SAF.

In this episode, former US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy explains why loneliness has become a defining problem of modern life. He explains why:- The crucial difference between being alone and feeling lonely,- How mobility, social media, and the decline of traditional communities have eroded our sense of belonging- Why young men are emerging as one of the most vulnerable groups. - How loneliness isn't just emotionally painful: it carries health risks comparable to smoking and obesity, and it undermines work, education, and social cohesion.- What happens when digital platforms, gaming, and now AI chatbots start replacing real human relationships. - Murthy explores how we might redesign technology, workplaces, schools, and public policy to rebuild connection- Why service, purpose, and community are as vital to a fulfilling life as close personal relationships. A practical guide to understanding the loneliness epidemic, and what we can do to change course.Vivek Murthy has just released a new Substack!

The pre-race carb-load is a right of passage in the sport of distance running, but in recent years runners' obsession with carbohydrates has reached a level of fanaticism that puts other running trends to shame.  A growing canon of research is rewriting what we thought we knew about the body's ability to process fuel during hard exercise, and with some recent studies going so far as to advocate for nearly 5 times the carb intake previously deemed effective, we've entered into what many are calling a full-blown “carbolution”.  Add to this an ever-expanding selection of goos, chews, and specially-formulated drink mixes and what used to be the domain of elite athletes has now become the norm for those serious about maximizing their race day performance at every distance, with runners of all abilities chewing, slurping, and guzzling a growing buffet of sugary rocket fuel.  This week on The Shakeout Podcast we welcome science writer and lifelong runner Alex Hutchinson back to the show to sink his teeth into the research fueling the hype and find out whether the “carbolution” is just another running fad or if that mountain of pasta the day before a marathon truly is just the tip of the carbohydrate iceberg.

S3 EP8 – Inside the Mind of a 21 Year Old Ultra Runner with Emily Jane Fairs (@emilyjanefairs)If she's not running, she's EATING. In a world that glamorises women shrinking themselves, self-proclaimed “ultra girl” Emily Jayne Fairs is here to set the record straight: properly fueling your body is key to achieving your goals and doing hard things. Running has been Emily's lifeline for tackling mental struggles and proving, time and time again, that she is stronger than she thinks, both mentally and physically. At only 22, she's on a mission to inspire women by shutting down toxic “SkinnyTok” ideals and conquering challenges that demand discipline and grit.In this episode, we cover:*Why underfueling and diet culture SABOTAGE both performance and mood*Ultramarathons and why Emily loves them*Social media's impact on misinformation and dangerous habits*How movement can support mental health without being punishing*Training SMART: building endurance, strength, and mental resilience*Fuelling strategy before, during and after runs (as a gluten free girl)*Staying injury free, lifting HEAVY, and listening to your body*The HIGHS and LOWS of being a fitness influencerEmily's message is simple: stop starving yourself, tackle hard things, and be proud of your body while doing it. This episode is about building confidence, energy, and resilience, in your training, your goals, and your life.

For much of the past year, investors have been focused on growth stocks and AI winners. But some of the strongest returns have come from stocks the market had largely written off. James Hawkins, Head of L1 Capital's Catalyst Fund, is building a reputation for finding value where others aren't looking, combining deep research with an activist mindset to unlock it. That strategy has helped drive a strong year for the fund, with contrarian positions in companies like BlueScope Steel and Mineral Resources fuelling 30% gains. In this episode of the Rules of Investing, Hawkins explains L1's affinity for hard assets, the catalysts for unlocking value and the unloved stocks capturing the markets attention.

S3 EP6 – Why Running for Weight Loss Backfires... Fuelling Hacks, RED-S & Training Smarter with Sophie (@runfreephysio)In this episode, we're joined by running-focused physiotherapist Sophie (@runfreephysio) to break down the science behind fuelling, recovery, and injury prevention for fitness lovers.With more people signing up for marathons, ultramarathons, HYROX and endurance races, many athletes fall into the trap of thinking that getting lighter, eating less, or pushing through fatigue will improve performance. But in reality, chronic under-fuelling and poor recovery habits are some of the biggest drivers of injuries and progress plateaus.Drawing from her experience as a physio, Sophie explains the patterns she sees most often, from athletes dieting during marathon prep, to the impact of low energy availability and RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) on performance, as well as short and long-term health.We also unpack the science of training adaptation, the importance of carbohydrates for endurance performance, and whether common claims like “running ruins your knees” or “running causes arthritis” are actually true.Whether you're training for a marathon, half marathon, ultramarathon, HYROX, or simply trying to make real progress in the gym, this episode will help you better understand how to fuel properly, recover effectively, and avoid common training traps.In this episode, we cover:*Why running a marathon or ultramarathon should NOT be used as a weight-loss strategy*A physio's take on the most common mistakes made by athletes*What is RED-S? The dark side of underfuelling...*Adapting your fuelling and recovery strategy to overcome plateaus*Active Recovery vs True Recovery*You should STOP avoiding carbs*Importance of energy balance for endurance*Debunking myths like “running ruins your knees” or causes arthritisThis episode is a reminder that better performance does NOT come from eating less, shrinking yourself or training to exhaustion, it comes from fuelling properly, recovering well, and training intelligently.When you work WITH your body, rather than AGAINST it by providing it with enough energy and training smart, you build strength, resilience, and long-term performance.NOTE: At the time of recording, Sophie's social media handle was different.

As you may have noticed this is not a usual Win Happy podcast. To celebrate International Women's Day I decided to assist the lovely Deirdre Waldron, founder of Fuzion in launching her own podcast, called Fuelling Ambition. She is a huge believer in supporting other women in business and this led to her being national president of Network Ireland. During her presidency the theme of her tenure was all about ambition, and on her podcast she wants to continue with this agenda, inspiring other women whenever and wherever she can. I think her podcast is great and I would encourage you to subscribe to it. To all the women out there, Happy International Women's Day, and well done Dee!

In this episode, Leigh Brandon explores a largely overlooked contributor to chronic pain: non-native electromagnetic fields (EMFs).Drawing on clinical experience, research, and decades of observation, Leigh explains the difference between natural (native) EMFs and the man-made EMFs produced by modern technology such as mobile phones, Bluetooth headphones, WiFi, smart watches, laptops, smart meters and other everyday devices.He discusses why most EMF-emitting technologies have never been properly tested for long-term biological safety, and how EMFs can contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress, nervous system dysregulation and increased pain sensitivity.Leigh also places EMFs into a broader historical and health context, showing how patterns of chronic pain and illness have risen alongside increasing electrical and wireless exposure, before sharing practical, realistic steps you can take to reduce EMF exposure in daily life — without abandoning modern technology.This episode is about awareness, not fear. And about empowering you to make informed choices that support pain reduction, nervous system regulation and long-term health.Resources Mentioned⁠The Invisible Rainbow⁠ – Arthur Firstenberg⁠Dirty Electricity⁠ – Samuel Milham⁠The Body Electric⁠ – Robert O.

That's why I love working with herbal allies that support the nervous system, immune system, and sleep naturally, instead of forcing or overriding the body. These three legendary blends from WishGarden Herbs are ones I personally trust and come back to again and again: Deep Stress Daily Calm is my go-to when life feels relentless. Chronic stress impacts hormones, immunity, energy, and mood — not just mentally, but physically. This blend features ashwagandha and nourishing nervine herbs that help calm the stress response both in the moment and over time. It supports healthier cortisol patterns, steadier energy, improved sleep quality, and a more balanced mood — helping the body shift out of constant high gear and back into regulation. When stress shows up as a racing mind at night, Sleepy Nights & Fresh Mornings is such a gentle yet powerful support. I love that it's formulated without melatonin, valerian, or kava, so it supports natural sleep rhythms without dependency or morning grogginess. Whether taken before bed or during unwanted night wakings, it helps calm the mind so the body can settle into deeper, more restorative sleep. And when you start to feel that familiar "something's coming on" feeling, Kick-Ass Immune Activator is what I reach for. This fast-acting blend supports immune and respiratory health right when the body needs it most — helping you respond early instead of waiting until you're already depleted. Because supporting your immune system proactively makes a massive difference. What I love most about WishGarden Herbs is that their formulas are USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, and crafted to work with the body's innate intelligence. These aren't quick fixes — they're true herbal allies. Discover the natural power of WishGarden Herbs' legendary blends and save 20% on your order with code NOSUGARCOATING.

Deadly protests in Iran have spread to more provinces presenting a new challenge for the country's leadership. It is the biggest wave of protests since the nationwide demonstrations in 2022, sparked by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini. - Протесты в Иране распространились на новые провинции, представляя серьёзный вызов для руководства страны. Это крупнейшая волна протестов со времён общенациональных демонстраций 2022 года, которые были спровоцированы смертью Махсы Амини во время полицейского задержания.

This week on Conflicted, we're unlocking for everyone an episode we first released a year ago for members of the Conflicted Community — an interview with Hussam Mahjoub, a Sudanese journalist, political activist, and founder of the independent TV channel Sudan Bukra, which has become a vital source of truth amid the chaos of war. When it was recorded, Sudan was already sliding into catastrophe. But in the months since, the country has fallen even further into one of the world's most devastating wars. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has shattered the country: communications have collapsed, hospitals have shut, and millions are displaced or facing famine. In this conversation, Hussam helps us understand how Sudan got here. He traces the rise of the RSF from the Janjaweed militias that terrorised Darfur twenty years ago, and walks us through Sudan's modern history, from the long dictatorship of Omar al-Bashir, to the 2019 revolution, and the collapse of hopes for civilian rule. Hussam also offers an insider's view of the regional powers shaping Sudan's fate — Egypt, the Gulf states, and Russia's Wagner network — and how rivalries over gold, trade, and influence have turned Sudan's agony into a proxy struggle. Listening now, his analysis feels prophetic. The structural forces he identified then have since erupted into the full-scale war we see today.
