I work with both adult and adolescent athletes…And the thing that creates more complexity for the latter, is that fuelling has to be looked at from not just the lens of regular life and sport but also from one more very important way.What is this? Why is the fuelling puzzle more deep when dealing with teen athletes?In this episode, I unpack the bigger picture lens of fuelling in teen sports and the athletes I work with. This episode is especially for the parents of adolescents wanting to know more about the complexity of their child's nutrition situation.DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

Keeping the "LIVE" in Alive! In this Wellness Wednesday Feature Interview , I got a sneak peek at one of the world's biggest nutrition gatherings—Nutrition 2026, hosted by the American Society for Nutrition. Researchers from around the globe gather to reveal the latest discoveries about how food affects our health. My guest was Dr. Diane Stadler, professor of medicine and director of graduate programs in Human Nutrition at Oregon Health & Science University. One of the first things we agreed on? Food really is medicine. I laughed remembering my Italian grandmothers feeding us what we used to call "peasant food"—beans, greens, fresh vegetables and simple meals from the garden. Funny how those same foods are now considered some of the healthiest things you can eat! As I joked on the show: "Our ancestors already knew what to do... somewhere along the way we forgot." Dr. Stadler explained that convenience and processed foods gradually replaced home cooking over the past several decades—and while they've made life easier, they've also made healthy eating more complicated. A Few Big Takeaways Whole foods still win. Whenever possible, choose foods closer to their natural form instead of heavily processed versions. GLP-1 medications work—but nutrition still matters. As these weight-loss drugs become more common, researchers are emphasizing the importance of getting enough protein, vitamins, minerals, and exercise to help preserve muscle while losing weight. Food safety matters too. With recent produce recalls making headlines, Dr. Stadler recommends buying whole vegetables when possible, washing them well, and preparing them yourself. And my favorite surprise? The humble red pepper! When I asked Diane why she always adds one to her salad, she smiled and said: "Red peppers are one of the highest sources of vitamin A and vitamin C... they supercharge my day." By the end of the interview I had officially declared: "I'll always use a red pepper from now on because of Diane!" Debservation: Sometimes the newest science simply reminds us of what our grandparents and ancestors practiced all along. Eat more real food. Move your body. Don't overcomplicate it. That's the kind of wellness advice that never goes out of style. This Week's Keeping the LIVE in Alive! Challenge Add one extra colorful vegetable to your plate every day this week. Maybe it'll be a red pepper... like mine. :-) Hope you enjoy our conversation. Best! Debbie
Do you experience or used to experience food-related guilt?If so, this is common and you are not alone.However, sometimes we think we need to guilt our way to success or taking action but this is actually a poor approach for the vast majority of us.We need to start looking at guilt as a human, in ways inevitable but negative outcome - and work on managing it better. Because guilt is not a good tactic…In this episode, I explain the guilt equation in nutrition and why it is not ideal and how to go about managing setbacks and guilt in a more healthy, productive way to pushes you forward rather than pulls you back.DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

Consistency is a fundamental pillar of nutrition success and how I go about coaching my clients.But what does it really mean to be consistent effectively?Does it mean rigid plans and strict control over all food choices? Or is there more to it?In this episode, I explain the truth around consistency using a recent example I also discussed, about how it's easy to misinterpret consistency in a practical sense and looking at the overraching principle more healthily.

Evidence-based nutrition doesn't always win the attention economy...but it's what leads to lasting health. In this episode of Muscles by Brussels Radio, Ben and Coach Sawyer sit down with Mic the Vegan to discuss his journey from skeptical omnivore to one of the most trusted science communicators in the vegan space. Mike shares how he built his platform by prioritizing research over sensationalism, the challenges of combating nutrition misinformation online, and why balanced, evidence-driven messaging matters more than ever.The conversation explores why people are drawn to nutrition trends, how social media rewards controversy over nuance, and the importance of interpreting scientific research correctly instead of relying on isolated mechanisms or clickbait headlines. They also dive into common misconceptions surrounding cholesterol, saturated fat, whole foods, superfoods, and vegan diets, while discussing how genetics, lifestyle, and overall dietary patterns all contribute to long-term health.Along the way, the group discusses athletic performance on a vegan diet, practical strategies for building sustainable eating habits, why enjoyable movement matters, and how everyday vegans can become positive ambassadors for the lifestyle. Whether you're interested in improving your health, understanding nutrition research, or simply becoming a more informed consumer of health information online, this episode is packed with thoughtful discussion and practical takeaways.
One of the more common things you may here is that muscle weighs more than fat so that is why I am not losing weight or not seeing the changes.Interestingly, there is both truth and myth in this statement.In this episode, I answer the question once and for all: does muscle weigh more than fat?

“I eat differently on the weekend, is this ok?

Can your genes influence what you eat, how your gut works, and even why coriander tastes like soap to some people? This week on Well, food and nutrition scientist Dr Emma Beckett cuts through the noise around gut health and explains what the science actually says. From probiotics and Greek yoghurt to taste receptors hidden throughout your gut, we unpack the surprising ways genetics shape our relationship with food. Dr Beckett reveals why one-size-fits-all nutrition advice doesn't work, what the microbiome can (and can't) tell us about health, and why the wellness industry's obsession with gut hacks may be missing the point. Plus, Dr Mariam answers a listener's question about constipation, ageing and menopause, and explains why some gut symptoms deserve a closer look.

So we know we need a calorie deficit to lose weight.We also know that you can make any food fit and still lose weight if the calories are correctly controlled.But should you? Just because you can do?That is the question not many ask and one that provides an additional layer of context to a commonly overly simplified area of nutrition. In this episode, I explain the nuance of flexible dieting and making any foods fit, with a consideration for the bigger nutrition picture.

Food Guidelines, MyPlate, and the Search for Certainty | Illuminating Being PodcastIn this episode, we explore a question that sits underneath much of modern nutrition discourse: how do we actually know what to trust when it comes to food?From the food pyramid to MyPlate and evolving dietary guidelines, public nutrition messaging has shifted over time. Yet the deeper tension remains unchanged. In a world shaped by competing nutrition advice, food marketing, and rapidly expanding research, clarity is not always the outcome of more information.This conversation does not attempt to resolve food into a single framework. Instead, it examines the limits of certainty in nutrition science and the reality that healthy eating is shaped by biology, lived experience, family systems, and culture.Topics include dietary guidelines and public health nutrition, intuitive eating, plant-rich whole foods, selective eating in children, and the practical realities of feeding families. The discussion also touches on how food frameworks like MyPlate function at a population level, and why they may not always translate neatly into individual experience.At its core, this episode is about attention. Noticing how food affects the body. Recognizing the influence of information systems. And understanding that guidance and experience must remain in dialogue, not competition.This is a reflective conversation for anyone thinking seriously about nutrition science, food awareness, and the everyday decisions behind how we eat.Listen to explore the space between guidance and lived experience, and what it means to navigate food in a complex world.
Do you find yourself easily sticking to your diet and plan but once you hang out with someone specific or when you are in a specific situation, you fall off immediately and is almost as if your whole mindset shifts?You are dealing with a situational habit and behaviour, and there is a chance that you have created a novelty around the food choices in these situations so that you almost always revert back when the “trigger” comes around. So what can you do?In this episode, I talk about overcoming the novelty of certain eating behaviours and what you can do to start moving past this.

You should be drinking hot water. You should be drinking cool water. You shouldn't be drinking this water, why are you drinking that water?So much confusion and overthinking on the most seemingly simple part of nutrition…Hydration!More specifically, there has been this recent push for drinking of hot water (or warm water really), in the mornings to help aid in some health benefits. But how true is this? Is it really better than cold water drinking?In this episode, I explain the basics around what the science really says (or doesn't say) about the question of hot water vs cold water for health, digestion, and results.

In this episode, I answer 10 honest questions about calorie tracking, fat loss, and why so many people struggle to stay consistent with nutrition. I cover whether you really need to track calories to lose weight, if calorie tracking is becoming obsessive, the biggest beginner mistakes people make, why some people succeed while others still struggle, and what actually happens after you stop tracking.
So many people use food tracking apps such as Cronometer, My Fitness Pal, and others.With this comes an overall, overrealiance on these apps and taking all the info it provides as absolute truth.This isn't quite so, so we need to unpack this and explain the truth about how to properly use food tracker apps if you are relying on them for your calorie calculation and tracking needs.In this episode, I explain how to approach calorie estimates on food tracking apps the right way.

In this episode of Eat More Carbs, Jenna, Reilly, and Lilly are tackling the sheer volume of nutrition misinformation that female athletes encounter daily. We are talking about trends and advice currently driving us bananas. From questionable Reddit threads where personal nutrition experience is treated as law, to examining the continued rise of low carb swaps like Egglife pasta, we look at how these trends can derail an athlete's recovery and performance. We discuss the frustration of seeing diet culture rebrand itself as wellness and why these confusing messages make it so difficult for athletes to trust their hunger and fuel their bodies adequately.Our conversation centers on the danger of replacing essential carbohydrates with processed protein alternatives, especially for those working through hypothalamic amenorrhea or low energy availability. We explain why a Reddit thread is rarely the place to find individualized sports nutrition advice and how to spot the red flags in viral nutrition claims. By reacting to these common pitfalls, we aim to simplify your approach to fueling and help you reclaim a sense of peace with your plate. We want you to walk away from this episode feeling empowered to ignore the noise and focus on the science backed fueling strategies that actually support your goals.The Eat More Carbs Podcast is the go-to podcast for the GIRLIES who want to fuel their body properly with easy, fun, and simple nutrition!

In Part 2 of our conversation with performance nutritionist Daniel Davey, we go deeper into the psychology of behavior change and why traditional nutrition advice often fails. Daniel shares profound insights on coaching the person, not just the problem, and how childhood experiences shape our relationship with food.What You'll Learn:Daniel opens up about the influences that shaped his coaching approach—from his father's extraordinary listening skills to working with Jim Gavin and Dublin's five-in-a-row All-Ireland winning team. He reveals why the hardest part of his job isn't the nutrition science, but helping people realize they have the answers within themselves.We explore the complex relationship between identity, body image, and performance—including how male athletes struggle with body image in ways that often go unaddressed. Daniel shares vulnerable stories about his own journey and why sometimes athletes need a "boot in the hole" while others need a hug.Key Topics:Why 3-5 minutes is enough for nutrition advice, but 55 minutes is needed to understand the personThe difference between knowing what to do and being able to do itHow childhood experiences shape our relationship with foodIdentity vs. body image: Understanding the distinction in elite sportWorking with professional vs. amateur athletes: What actually changesThe alcohol conversation: Culture, masculinity, and performance in Irish sportWhy confidence—not meal plans—is the ultimate outcome of good nutrition coachingSimple environmental changes that support good nutrition (hint: fruit baskets and microwaves matter)Perfect for: Coaches who want to understand behavior change beyond their sport, practitioners working in nutrition or lifestyle coaching, and anyone interested in the deeper psychology of performance.Daniel challenges coaches to examine their own relationship with food and asks: Are you embodying the behaviors you want to see in your athletes? This conversation goes far beyond nutrition—it's about what it means to truly support human performance.Links & Resources:Daniel Davey's Website: daveynutrition.com (for recipes, articles, and consultation info).Books by Daniel Davey: Eat Up, Raise Your Game and Eat Up: The Next Level.Daniel Davey on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-davey-8326a839/ Join the TOC Coach Community for FREE https://www.skool.com/toccoach/aboutSubscribe to the Team Culture Toolbox Newsletter so you don't miss the notes to this and every episode! https://tocculture.com/culture-toolboxLearn More and Apply for the next TOC Coaching Retreat: https://www.tocculture.com/retreat Learn More about Besty Butterick and her work with coaches! https://betsybutterick.com/

The internet loves to dunk on the Food Pyramid, but the real story of nutrition guidance is stranger, older, and way more practical than a viral meme. We start at the beginning—the Farmer's Bulletin and wartime “Basic Seven”—to show how scarcity, highways, and changing supply shaped what Americans were told to eat. Then we follow the guidance as it morphs into the Basic Four, the 1980s Food Wheel, the grain-heavy Pyramid, and finally the cleaner, more intuitive MyPlate. Along the way we call out the quiet forces behind the posters: industry lobbying, marketing muscle, and the gulf between advice and what families can actually afford.From there, we take a hard look at the headline-grabbing upside-down pyramid packed with steak, butter, and whole milk. It's a masterclass in getting attention, not a tool for putting dinner on the table. We unpack saturated fat limits, why placement matters, and where whole foods shine versus where nuance gets lost. We also spotlight policies that move the needle, like programs that double benefits for fruits and vegetables—real incentives that measurably improve health and stretch budgets.If you care less about internet fights and more about what to cook tonight, we've got you. We talk templates that work on a tight budget—beans and lentils, frozen veg, oats and rice, eggs, canned fish, yogurt—and why simple, repeatable meals beat perfect plans. We even tip our hat to Canada's food rainbow for clarity and balance. Come for the history, stay for the takeaways you can use this week, and tell us which food guide actually helps you eat better.Enjoyed this deep dive?
