What we eat and how we eat is a large part of the obesity problem and the growing waistlines we see today. It's very hard to resist the foods we love and there are very good reasons as to why. First, there's the food manufacturers themselves that have an uncanny ability to create food that smells, tastes, and looks delicious. But it's not just the crafty work of the food manufacturers, we also have our ancestors to thank. As hunter gatherers we evolved to seek out high energy, nutrient dense foods, which gave us best bang for our buck. Food wasn't always available, and it was hard to come by, so we gouged when it was available. Fast forward to today's environment - our genes haven't changed but our food environment has. The added fat, salt and sugars in these processed foods trigger addictive-like eating behaviours. How do you prevent the cravings? And how do you prevent the associated weight gain that comes with your favourite foods? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the studies to find out.

Coeliac disease is an auto-immune disorder triggered by the consumption of gluten; a protein found in wheat, rye and barley, to give products such as bread their elasticity and texture. When people with coeliac disease eat gluten, they damage their small intestine and can't absorb nutrients from food. They end up with unpleasant side effects such as itchy skin, heartburn, diarrhoea, bloating and constipation. Despite the increase in gluten-free products in shops and people avoiding it, the disease only affects 1 per cent of the population. Gluten is unsafe for those with coeliac disease BUT is it an issue for the rest of the population? Is going gluten-free a good idea?

It can be hard enough to seek the counsel of a professional psychologist, let alone find one that can speak to your specific struggles with good and true theology. Grounded in Scripture, centered on Christ, distinguishing Law and Gospel, and living under a theology of the cross, Lutherans have a unique approach to Christian counseling. Guest Dr. Rick Marrs is a seminary professor and licensed psychologist who authored the book Making Christian Counseling More Christ Centered. In this episode, Dr. Marrs guides listeners through the initial hurdle of identifying a trusted Christian counselor and describes what makes counseling through the lens of Lutheran theology unique and particularly beneficial. Marrs also answers questions about the modern trend toward telehealth counseling and discusses the upsides and downfalls of this practice.    Bio: Dr. Richard “Rick” Marrs is professor of Practical Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis.  Marrs was called to the faculty in the fall of 2006. He previously served as the dean of faculty (2010–13), director of Continuing Education and Parish Services (2007–09) and director of the Master of Divinity (M.div.) and Residential Alternate Route (RAR) Programs (2013-21).  His areas of interest and expertise include pastoral care and counseling, Christian counseling and Christian reconciliation.  Before coming to the Seminary, he served at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Junction City, Kan. (2000–06), first as a vicar and then as a pastor. He was a professor of psychology and a counselor at St. John's College in Winfield, Kan. (1983–86; admissions counselor 1982–83), and at Concordia University Chicago, River Forest, Ill. (1986–98). He also has done counseling, clinical and consulting work with Lutheran Child and Family Services; the Baldwin Center for Psychological Services; the Center for Applied Psychology and Forensic Studies; the Kansas State University counseling center; Rapha (a Christian inpatient psychiatric group); Concordia University, Ann Arbor, Mich.; Lutheran Special Education Ministries; and various districts of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS).  Marrs received certification for pastoral ministry through the Seminary's RAR Program and earned his Master of Divinity (M.Div.) both from Concordia Seminary (2001, 2008). He also holds an Associate of Arts (A.A.) from St. John's College (1978); a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from Concordia College, River Forest, Ill. (now Concordia University Chicago) (1980); a Master of Science (M.S.) in counseling from the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kan. (1985); and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in counseling psychology from Loyola University Chicago in Chicago, Ill. (1994). He has been licensed as a psychologist since 1996.  In 2019, Marrs published the book Making Christian Counseling More Christ Centered, which focuses on the relevance of Luther's soul-care theology in Christian counseling (WestBow Press). He continues and expands that discussion in a blog series on Concordia Theology. He and Seminary Emeritus Professor Dr. Robert Kolb also are co-authoring an article about Lutheran contributions to the theology of Christian psychology.  Marrs contributed the new introduction to the reprint of Walter J. Koehler's book Counseling and Confession: The Role of Confession and Absolution in Pastoral Counseling (Concordia Publishing House, 1982, 2011). He has authored numerous Bible studies, articles and training programs for the LCMS. He also co-authored The Lesson Organizer Routine, a special education learning strategy trainer for the University of Kansas' Edge Enterprises, which has sold more than 20,000 copies.  Marrs is married to Laura, who operates her own professional organizing business. They have two adult daughters, two sons-in-law and four grandchildren. Marrs coached the Seminary's varsity tennis team from 2007–16 and still enjoys playing tennis. He also competes nationally in stair-climb races.  Learn about LCMS Life Ministry at lcms.org/life, and email us at friendsforlife@lcms.org.

More people than ever are turning to a vegan diet for a vast variety of reasons – these include ethical, cultural and health reasons. A vegan diet is a type of vegetarian diet that means abstaining from all animal products. This means no meat, poultry or fish. It also means no by-products such as eggs and dairy products. Basically, you're left to eating fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes, which can make it quite challenging to meet your nutritional requirements for a variety of vitamins and minerals. The research identifies six nutritional alarms when turning vegan. Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the studies to find out.

Fussy eating is very common in young children and peaks around the age of 3. Fussy, picky, selective, or choosy eating refers to an unwillingness to eat familiar or new foods, and a lack of diet variety – typically less than 20 different foods in your child's diet. This can be a huge stress for parents because if the fussiness persists, it can lead to poor growth and development, nutrient deficiencies, and constipation. Plus it's really annoying.   The literature shows that almost half of all children will go through a fussy eating period and it's a normal stage of development. Most kids are selective eaters. And if you think about it, it makes perfect sense, because it's this food “fussiness” that ensured the survival of our ancestors, thousands of years ago. We sought out foods high in sugar and fat as these foods gave us best bang for our buck during times of food scarcity. And we rejected unfamiliar foods and bitter flavours - such as vegetables - to avoid ingestion of potential toxins. Over time, our genes haven't changed, but the food environment has. Now we're spoilt for choice – you can find your favourite foods on every block and our kids scream out for the stuff. But as the studies show, while the genes that determine food fussiness have been passed on from our ancestors, it's not our fate, and there's some simple tips to deal with our kids unwillingness to eat new foods.

Metabolism is a term that describes all the chemical reactions in your body that keep your body alive and functioning. It's most often used to describe your basal metabolic rate, or the number of calories you burn at rest. Think of your metabolism, like your car. If you fill your car with poor quality fuel or you let it run out of petrol, it will have no power and won't operate efficiently. The same can be said for your body. If you neglect it, it will be sluggish and you'll burn less calories at rest. And this is not a favourable position to be in, as it makes it hard to manage your weight. Many factors can affect your metabolism including your sex, age, lifestyle and weight. And it definitely slows down as we get older. BUT, the good news is, there are things you can do to speed it up.

Alcohol offers a mixed legacy to our society, having long been used in a broad range of social, cultural and religious contexts. In fact, we've been drinking fermented beverages for about 10,000 years. In Australia, per capita alcohol consumption has been decreasing over the last 50 years. But even though Australia has seen a general reduction in alcohol consumption, it still contributes to a significant amount of disease as reported by the World Health Organization. In fact, it's linked to more than 200 diseases, including cancer, heart disease and liver disease. And that's due to the active ingredient found in alcoholic beverages - a simple molecule called ethanol. This molecule affects the body in many different ways. The one we're most familiar with is how it affects our thinking. It interferes with the brain's communication pathways, and can affect the way the brain looks and works. But it also directly influences the stomach, heart, gallbladder, and liver, and increases the amount of cholesterol, triglycerides, and insulin in the blood all of which impact our health and weight. BUT is it all bad news or are there some benefits from drinking alcohol? Can it be part of a healthy lifestyle? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the science to find out.

"There is never a minute that God does not see us with him. I move through the world as a finished daughter of the Most High. God has so much compassion for me because I don't know that yet." Our conversation with Dr. Cherith Nordling, PhD, will draw you in to the beauty of what it means to be human. You will come to love this teacher and mentor in theological education and formation who is also skilled in Nonprofit Organizations, Pastoral Counseling, Leadership, and Preaching. Strong professional with a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) focused in Theology from University of St. Andrews. With all of those credentials, you might be surprised to find her also very accessible and real. Our conversation grew as we continued to talk and we realized quickly that this would be only part 1 of our conversation. Part 2 is coming very soon where we talk more about learning how to be a human from the Son of God. 

Every time Ukraine pulls off another ‘improbable' victory, or achieves a substantial breakthrough, journalists and military analysts return to their familiar refrain that ‘the war will now grind on indefinitely' or that ‘there will be no more advances until spring'. From the battle of Kyiv, to Kharkiv and now Kherson, the stark evidence of extraordinary Ukrainian capability and boundless Russian incompetence is quickly forgotten. It seems that underestimating Ukraine's potential and over-estimating Russia's strength is a comfort zone the experts cannot tear themselves away from.

One of the biggest challenges in life for women relates to menopause. Typically, women reach menopause, which marks the end of menstruation in a woman's life, between the ages of 45 and 55, but it can happen much earlier or as late as 60. Most women put on about half a kilo of weight every year during this period of life. This is especially important because considering the average life expectancy of women in developed countries is 81 years, women will spend about 40 per cent of their life in post-menopause, and the weight gain you experience during this time will put you at increased risk of disease. So, how do you prevent the weight gain that comes with menopause? Are hormones to blame? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the science to find out.

Fats are an important part of a healthy diet. But some are better for you than others. Trans fats are bad for our health, as are a lot of saturated fats. Mono and polyunsaturated fats should make up most of our fat intake. But when it comes to saturated fats, it gets complicated. Not all foods containing saturated fat are equal and therefore not all are bad for our health. What are the different types of fat? In which foods do you find them? And which fats should you be avoiding for optimum health and a healthy weight? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the science to find out.

Good nutrition during pregnancy will help to keep you and your developing baby healthy. But, it's not just the quality of food you need to focus on, the quantity is important too. You need to eat much more than you normally do and it will result in weight gain. Irrespective of your weight when you fall pregnant, it's healthy to put on weight during pregnancy and vital for the growth and development of your baby. However, many struggle to lose pregnancy-related weight and this can result in long-term obesity and related serious chronic conditions. So, what parts of your diet do you need to focus on when you're pregnant? How do you shed the kilos postpartum? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the science to find out.

This is a topic that is relevant to all of you, if not now, it will be in years to come. And that's because we are an ageing population. By 2051, nearly 25% of the population will be over 65 years and 5% will be over 85 years. There are many considerations as we age but one of the most important is lifestyle, particularly diet. As you become older, your diet needs are different to when you were younger because your body stops working as well as it once did. For example, it's not as good at producing the hormones and enzymes that are required to absorb the nutrients from the food you eat. Consequently, you become more susceptible to nutritional deficiencies and the poor health outcomes that follow. There is no debating that preventative health strategies (for example, a healthy diet and a healthy weight) that are adopted in early life have the greatest effect on preventing disease, but as discussed in this week's podcast, you'll also improve your health, reduce your risk of disease, improve your quality of life and reduce your risk of dying early, through the adoption of healthy eating in later life (i.e. over the age of 65).

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide and recent estimates suggest that more than 50 million cups of coffee are consumed daily, worldwide. There's a lot of research to show that it does more than just wake us up – coffee doesn't just contain caffeine, it's also packed with nutrients, such as antioxidants, which are good for our health.

There's intense debate about what type of diet is most effective for weight loss — those with a focus on protein, those that emphasize carbohydrates, or those that focus on fat – and its been going on for decades. But what we're particularly interested in today's podcast is carbs. For decades we've been told to stay away from them. Originating in the 1970s with the evolution of the Atkins Diet, this has since morphed into our well-known diets, for example, Paleo and Keto, which advocate the cutting of carbs. BUT are carbs bad for your waistline and health? Will they hinder your weight loss journey? And should you be cutting them from the evening meal?

Dairy products are made from cow's milk. Cow's milk contains approximately 87% water, 4.6% lactose (carbohydrate), 3.4% protein, 0.8% minerals (e.g. calcium, magnesium, potassium) and 0.1% vitamins. It's also a source of fat (4.2%) which is predominantly saturated and consequently it's one of the biggest contributors to saturated fat in our diet. In fact, it contributes to approximately one-fifth of total saturated fat intake consumed which is where the potential problem lies. Because one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease is saturated fat intake as it increases our bad cholesterol level (otherwise known as our LDL or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol). BUT are all saturated fats equal? Is it OK to have full fat dairy or do you need to be sticking to skim or low fat dairy? And is dairy going to make you fat?

In September 2021, Russian applied a Foreign Agent law to citizens who report or share information on crime, corruption and especially themes related to the military and security services. But the origins of the law go back much further, to 2012, when Russia started to regulate Public Associations, NGOs and other private financial entities. At first the law was likened to US legislation that limits the activities of lobbyists employed by foreign governments. But since its introduction, the scope of the law has been progressively expanded. Now it can be described as a blunt and indiscriminate weapon that's being used to crush every vestige of civil society and independent media in Russia. Today, I'm discussing the impact of the Foreign Agent law on journalism, civil society organisations and political opposition, and we'll be looking at the effect it has had on some specific groups and individuals, such as Echo Moscow, TV Rain, and Navalny's team, as well as the work of Memorial.

The number of people struggling with their weight has doubled since 1980 – If we look at Australia, for example, approximately 2 in 3 people are now considered overweight. Consequently, we turn to diets, often spruiked by big-names celebrities to lose weight, and many of these diets promote eating little in the morning or skipping breakfast entirely. Intermittent fasting is the current fad we are all talking about, and it often means breakfast is the first to be scrapped from the menu in an attempt to cut calories from the diet and shorten the eating window throughout the day. Should you be skipping breakfast? Does it matter how much you eat at each meal? And should you eat your evening meal before 6pm?
