W/C 23rd June 2023I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the cricket. The first test against India from Headingley was an absolute delight, we were pretty much addicted for the whole five days, with the live coverage in the back room doing battle with the radio commentary upstairs.The whole joy is that for most of the fifteen (yes I did say fifteen) two hour sessions I had no idea who was actually winning. At four-ish on the fifth day it could still have gone three ways, with the outcome only really becoming clear after tea when the threat of a final weather-based intervention passed.We should hang onto this strange sporting phenomena tightly. It is a quirk, a wrinkle, a throwback and we are all the better for it.Stay safe.Here's to you - Thea GilmoreIan Dunt - In Praise of Kim LeadbeaterTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 16th June 2025I have been trying to work out if I have ever seen the video for this song before, and having mulled it for longer than I possibly should, I have reached the conclusion that I probably haven't.Nothing particularly surprising in that conclusion I suppose, and whilst it's very much of its time (quirky and instantly forgettable) it also made me realise that I had no real clue what Squeeze actually looked like.Yes I know that it's Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, yes I remember that Jools Holland was there in the early days and that he had been replaced by Paul Carrack. But as to the look of that band, not a clue. So I was surprised to see a bouncy, punky outfit with swagger and Jools chomping away on a cigar. It's great when things like that happen...Stay safe.Cool for Cats - SqueezeTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 9th June 2025Now you know I like a good sitcom, and you also know that I rate Not Going Out very highly and certainly worthy of special mention.Well the new series landed last night, and the BBC dropped all six episodes which resulted in us watching the first four. I am pleased to report that it is a strong as ever, but the reason I mention it is because the second episode called Doll is really very clever.I am not quite sure how you begin to put together a narrative like that, the whole thing is a little uncomfortable (and certainly quite unnerving) but it hard not to be swept along in the subtext.If you can get the iPlayer, you might want to give it a go.Stay safe.God Only Knows - BBC (Various)Sloop John B - Brian Wilson & Alan JardineStairway to Heaven - Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson, Jason Bonham, et alTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

Episode #208 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Do you think healthy individuals should take a daily multivitamin? [04:40] I am a 300-pound male and usually have about 20g of protein a day when I fat fast. If I have more, I can't stick with it. I've found that before I do a 66 (two per week), I need about 140-200g of protein the day before in order to complete the fast. In other words, doing a fat fast right before my fast doesn't hold me and I binge. Is there anything wrong with doing this? [05:50] What is the best way to extend a fast when someone has a history of gout? [11:40] What is your opinion on Dr. Roy Taylor's work about the pancreas not really being burned out but clogged with fat so the beta cells cannot function properly? [12:51] If someone has a high LP(a) of over 200, but their Trigs:HDL ratio is 1:1, then don't worry, but what about plasmapheresis for Lp(a)? [14:19]  Will younger people respond quicker to IF than older people? [15:45] I've read the science behind creatine and the many benefits to your muscles (I weight train) and your brain, and recently purchased a high quality brand. Creatine doesn't contain protein, it's a naturally occurring compound made from amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine, so will it prevent autophagy? [17:15] If instead of adding MCT oil to the morning coffee we would take an omega pill instead, which of these might have less of an insulin release? [19:49] TFM's Book Club is reading Dr. Christopher Palmer's “Brain Energy” this month. He covers the metabolic theory of mental health, specifically with regards to mitochondrial health and optimal brain-energy metabolism impacting our prefrontal cortex function. Can you talk about this ‘hidden in plain sight' mental metabolic disorder of the brain, showing the progressive degeneration of the prefrontal cortex seen so rampant in our culture today? [21:21] What kind of fasting protocol can be done for someone considered to be a TOFI and doesn't want to lose too much weight? [25:34] There's some conflicting research on how keto and fasting affects T3 levels. For individuals with low T3 production, do you recommend a specific keto or fasting approach and are there any important considerations?

W/C 2nd June 2025Sometimes the need to try and find a song title that encapsulates an element of my week, takes me to some very specific places.This song featured in a Rolling Stones documentary called 25x5, that I watched over and over, back in the late 80s. It was only a very small section of the programme, but it always stuck with me, and fortunately it was easy enough to locate the clip.So even though it is a prompt to a rather disappointing realisation (and outcome) of the week - it is still a really great performance.Stay safeYou Better Move On - The Rolling StonesTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 26th May 2025I completed my final run for the month yesterday, and also the final run in my current pair of running shoes, and I mention it because it is a bit of a bitter-sweet moment.I become quite attached to my runners, and whilst I am looking forward to a new pair (the first few runs in new shoes are always great) it always feels like I am being less than respectful to my current squeeze as we approach the end of our time together.Of course, the reality is that isn't the case.

Episode #206 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Are there common strategies that help to avoid the common pitfalls of Ramadan, like late night eating, overeating, or accidentally doing OMAD for too long and slowing down the metabolic rate? [01:07] Concerns about off-label use of GLP-1s. Some medical professionals seem to be prescribing GLP-1 medications for anti-aging/longevity purposes in people who aren't overweight or diabetic. What do you think about the trend of “microdosing” GLP-1s as a preventative health measure? [02:36] Are there further short and long-term side effects of GLP-1s coming to light? [06:36] Are there ethical concerns around supply issues with GLP-1s due to increased demand from off-label use? [ 10:12] Are there bioethical concerns about GLP-1s that doctors should be discussing with patients? [12:03] Can you address how people with Type 1 diabetes can develop insulin resistance similar to those with Type 2, sometimes referred to as ‘double diabetes'? [16:21] How concerning is an elevated Lp(a) and how can you lower it?

"The beauty is that we're going to be taken back to a simpler life, and I think that many of us have been craving it." - Sarah WilsonIn this existential episode with best-selling author and renegade Sarah Wilson, you'll take part in an uphill bike ride while exploding on the inside, hitch-hike with randoms in Greece, and find the curious in almost everything - even if it is as dark as the fall of civilisation. On the menu is; a life-saving bowl of chicken curry in Vietnam, a bowl of rice for a playground friend, and dried fluffy figs out of a pocket.Sarah's social cause is the Karrkad Kanjdji Trust (KKT), an Indigenous rangers program in Arnhem land safeguarding Indigenous culture, educating future custodians, and support traditional owners to live and work on their ancestral lands. You can find out more here - kkt.org.au. Send us a textTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!

This Time is the first song I ever heard from an unknown Canadian rocker named Bryan Adams. I was introduced to it by a friend called Steve Nicholson, he lived at the end of my road and he too was an avid Sheffield United fan.I ended up going to away matches with him and his Dad, and I even had a Saturday job at their family business back in the day (they had an independent Insurance brokerage, just in case you were wondering).We still keep in touch, though somewhat vicariously, over one of the platforms, in fact there is even a possibility we will bump into each other through the course of the day. Because he will be heading to the same place that I am, and like me he will have found some new hope.This time.Stay safe.This Time - Bryan AdamsCambridge Common CowsTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 12th May 2025I haven't been able to ascertain exactly which group of football fans adopted this song first. Wikipedia cites the example of Everton fans in 1956, which is only a year after the song was written - so that might be favourite. I was belting it out (along with 26,000 others) at Bramall Lane on Monday and having a whale of a time.Aura Farming: Depending on the context, “aura farming” can refer to a person who does something cool without trying, or someone who is trying too hard to appear cool. For the purposes of this week's TFM I am hoping it is the former.Mog: To outclass or be significantly more attractive than someone else, often used in a humorous or self-deprecating wayOh and I haven't mentioned Andor this week, mainly because I haven't finished it yet.

Episode #204 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions: 1. On eating days I almost always feel very full. I try to make my meal portions smaller but I still feel full. I don't seem to feel hunger cues on eating days nor fasting days. Have 20 years of dieting broken my body? My usual fasting protocol is three 36s, lately, two 42s. (Ewelina) [01:34] 2. I've read on some of the PCOS blogs that you shouldn't skip breakfast because it balances your blood sugar, but I find it harder to meet my fasting goals when I eat breakfast. Is this a reference to early, time-restricted eating? Is it better to meet the fasting goal of longer fasts or to consume the meals earlier in the day? [04:45] 3. How do I not lose much more weight with extended fasts for autophagy? I am 71 and have lost 44  pounds over an 8-month period (1 pound on most weeks, never more). I have loose skin on my arms, belly, and legs, and I am looking older than I ever have! I will be doing 24-hour fasts to maintain my weight loss. (Anne) [09:47]  4. I started doing the 42-hour extended fasts (sometimes three a week, sometimes two) to switch it up. I'm not losing weight or inches. What am I doing wrong?

W/C 5th May 2025I see that Amazon very astutely managed to get Conclave on their roster of films included on Prime, just in time for the selection of the new pope.I can only assume that the nature of the timing, you could almost say it was divine, will push the viewing figures no end.I haven't seen it yet, but I have read the book which I thoroughly enjoyed. Robert Harris is a fave amongst my fiction-author-choices, and his new one Precipice landed last week, it's currently perched at the top of the ‘next up' pile.I'll report back when I get to the film, but the cast looks hefty, and the twist at the end is delicious.Stay safe.Down The Road - Mike PetersTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 28th April 2025Between 13:00 and 13:40 today I witnessed a wonder of the modern world.In the Long Bar, which is situated in the East Stand at Headingley, an undisclosed but statistically significant number of cricket followers were fed a lunch of fish, chips and mushy peas, with bread and butter on the side.This was the scene that greeted me in the Members lounge, as this unnamed collective moved between the food queue, the condiments table and the bar. The average age well north of 70.There was little in the way of fanfare, and nothing like the amount of ambient noise I would have expected. Just a focussed sense of purpose, that comes from the understanding that the time in hand was short. You see there was not only food to be eaten, there was drink to be drunk, and a comfort break to be factored in before the first ball of the afternoon.You can moan about the boomers, and I often do, but when they get their sh*t together it is a thing of really beauty.Stay safe.Give A Little Bit - SupertrampTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

Episode #202 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: I'm curious if TFM intends or would consider a ‘fasting-mimicking protocol' to be published for its members, possibly a TFM Quick Guide? [01:22] When I fast I find that I have trouble falling and staying asleep. Is it the hunger increasing my cortisol or the effect of ketones? What are your thoughts on valerian or kava tea to help with fasting insomnia? [02:54] What's the latest research on autophagy? [05:12]  What does research say about the relationship between the HDL/Triglycerides ratio and high coronary calcium scores? And, in general, what does the scientific literature say about potential interactions between statins and fasting regimens? [07:00]  There is a hormonal cascade where our sex hormones are made from cholesterol. We know from member stories that female hormones become balanced on alternate day fasting regimen. In those success cases, how does alternate-day fasting affect the hormonal cascade so that it starts working properly again? [12:59] I was recently reading research that suggests that moderate weight gain during menopause, particularly in lean women, may offer a degree of protection against cardiovascular disease, due to the increased production of adipose-tissue-derived estrogen, which can partially compensate for the decline in ovarian estrogen levels following menopause. What are your thoughts on this? [15:27] Why might weight loss stall during a multi-day fast, even when following an extended-fasting protocol with proper hydration, electrolytes, and exercise? What factors could influence the rate of weight loss, and how can one determine if adjustments are needed? [19:02] Is there a problem with lowering metabolic rate during fasting? Do I need to worry about this? [21:13] The RR interval typically refers to the time between consecutive R waves in an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) and is a fundamental measurement in heart rate variability (HRV). Has the RR interval been studied in diagnosing gastroparesis, specifically for diabetes?

W/C 21st April 2025As you are about to hear there isn't a real reason why I have picked this particular track to share with you as the episode title. There could have been, but as it turned out I ditched that idea because it was a bit too complicated.But I have stuck with it because I can't get past one aspect of the lyric, and as it happens it does resonate with (admittedly in a slightly laboured way) the football part of this week's TFM. Let me explain.As a song it contains an absolutely killer lyric, and it is preceded by a really nice build up in the verse;Jimmy Shoes, he busted both his legsTrying to learn to flyFrom a second storey windowHe just jumped and closed his eyesHis momma said he was crazyHe said, Momma, I've got to tryNothing wrong with that, it's a great foundation that is building a narrative and preparing you for something special. Kind of like the first forty games that Sheffield United have played this year. Then you get this killer line....Don't you know that all my heroes died?Boom. Absolutely stunning line, really stops you in your tracks. A bit like beating Coventry 3-1 at home and putting promotion squarely in your own hands. But then Jon follows it up with this lifeless, disappointing, throw-away clicheAnd I guess I'd rather die than fade awayWhat a let down, hopes smashed. Like losing to Oxford, Millwall and Plymouth and handing promotion to your season-long rivals.Stay safe.These Days - Bon JoviTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 14th April 2025I am quietly chuckling to myself, because I never thought I would be able to feed a song title like this one into an episode of TFM. But in the context of the content for this week, and if you flip it around a bit, and imagine it from a certain perspective then it does make a lot of sense.Anyway it's a bit of a funny one this week, with the early week being the closing stages of our holiday to Gran Canaria, before setting back off to what was a slightly unusual end to the working week.I hope you find something in there of interest, and that you have a rewarding easter weekend.Stay safe.Video Killed The Radio Star - BugglesThe Residence - NetflixTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 7th April 2025As it turns out a Saltwater swimming pool does (in point of fact) still contain Chlorine.Not an opening sentence I thought I would ever use for a slice of TFM, but the experiences of the week have brought me here, and after all that is what this is all about.I have been informed by Goggle AI that 'a saltwater swimming pool utilises a salt chlorine generator to produce chlorine from salt, offering a less harsh alternative to traditional chlorine pools. While it doesn't eliminate chlorine entirely, the generator creates a smaller amount, making the water feel softer and potentially gentler on skin and eyes.' None of which I knew.The thing that it doesn't explain is the sensation of increased buoyancy that you feel when just floating on your back. None of the 'advantages of' lists I have read has it down as a feature or a benefit, which leads me to the conclusion that I have probably just imagined it. The power of the mind, eh.Stay safe.Saltwater - Chicane (ft. Moya Brennan)

W/C 31st March 202526 minutes to go until this weeks TFM is due to be published and I have no idea what to do about the notes.Michael Sembello is pulsating out of the speakers on my desk, and if I flip tabs I can see the very MTV era video playing away in its non-widescreen format. We are due to be leaving the house for a family shopping trip to Meadowhall at quarter to, which is only adding to the pressing nature of my task.Normally I would have a little nugget leftover from the episode, something anecdotal perhaps or maybe a bit of interesting aside that would round out one of the segments. But for now I have nothing.22 minutes now, 7 until we are due to set-off. Quick mental recap of the week, but still nothing.

W/C 24th March 2025One of the great things about recording TFM is that I get to rack my brains and come up with an episode title that is also a song. You know the rules, the song title (where possible) must be pertinent to some of the themes of the week's episode, and I try and make it a song I have some history with.Clearly this week was going to be fairly easy, I mean how many song titles are there that contain the word 'Drive' (don't answer that, because it is quite a lot). But here's the thing, because this part of the TFM process is a bit of a gift that keeps on giving, the choice of REM has taken me back to Automatic For The People, and who doesn't need reminding of how good an album that is and how lucky we are to have it.What that means is that I am going to be giving it a spin over the weekend, as I contemplate the state of the nation finances and the sheer absurdity of the Testi app.Stay safe.Drive - REMTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 17th March 2025I have heard this story three times now, and it floors me every time.This song was written as part of Radio 2's 21st century Folk project, where a group of songwriters were invited to write songs about other peoples lives. The song describes the day that Thea travelled to the North East to meet Delyth Raffell, and to hear about her daughter Ellen who passed away at the age of 16 from an allergic reaction.I was drawn to the song on the first listen, long before I understood the context or the significance of it. With the backstory in place, it takes it to a whole different level.She then performed the song for Delyth and her family at the Woodhorn Museum in Ashington. I have included the link to that performance as well album version of the song.Stay safe.She Speaks in Colours - Thea GilmoreShe Speaks in Colours performed for Delyth RaffellTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 3rd March 2025Todays notes come courtesy of Wikipedia;Coles Corner is the name given to the corner of Fargate and Church Street in Sheffield, in sight of the cathedral. It was the site of the old Cole Brothers department store until it moved to Barker's Pool in 1963.The corner is famous in Sheffield as a place to meet for a first date. A plaque put up by the Rotary Club now marks the spot and ensures its local history is not forgotten.I mention this of course because of the 20th anniversary of the album by Richard Hawley, and because as I am off to Sheffield today anyway (the Blades are taking on Preston at BDBL) I might try and go and seek out that plaque.

W/C 24th February 2025I found myself watching the first Rambo film last night, partly because it was there and partly because I haven't seen any of that particular franchise.Clearly they were films of their time, but it is interesting that the original - which was called First Blood and has since been rebranded as Rambo: First Blood - bore little resemblance to the genre it effectively spawned.It got me thinking about the parallels the Deep Purple Machine Head, which I had also listened to for the first time recently and which also sounded nothing like the musical style that the band is cited with creating.As far as both were concerned I was pleasantly surprised. I guess it's a reminder to always experience the source material first hand, and always make your own mind up.Stay safe.Coffee and TV - BlurDocumentally substackTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

If so, what kind would you recommend? (05:14) Is it acceptable for someone 4'10” to eat 0.6 grams of protein per kilogram instead of TFM's recommended 0.8-1.2 gram, since they are so petite? (08:32) How does iodine intake and storage work in the body from a scientific perspective? Since iodine is water soluble, what is known about how long the body can maintain adequate iodine levels between dietary intake? Are there any established research findings about the need for iodine during different eating patterns, such as an extended fast? (12:02)  Will consistently high uric acid levels from fasting adversely affect my health even if I don't have symptoms of hyperuricemia? (14:08)  I believe you addressed this at the time Dr. Peter Attia was a guest on Thomas DeLauer's YouTube channel, but I can't remember which one of our podcasts that was. Wasn't he cautioning about extended fasts and muscle loss for people who were already in great shape - “shredded” if you will? Don't you quickly regain any muscle lost once you start eating nutrient-dense food again? (15:21) Is there more autophagy happening during exercise or fasting? (21:17) What is the best fasting regime for someone with a low BMI but who has non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? How long should alternate-day fasting (just started two 42-48 hour fasts a week) combined with a whole-food, low-carb diet continue? (23:46) What are your thoughts on fasting while taking ADHD medication? (25:04) Do you have any recommendations for a diet that will starve or kill cancer? (26:23) How long does it take to reverse insulin resistance while doing fasting and low-carb and how do you know when you have?

Episode #191 In this episode of The Fasting Method podcast, Megan Ramos interviews Dr. Nadia Pateguana and her incredible daughter, Zinzi, about their new podcast - Forbidden.  Dr. Nadia previously shared she was stepping away from TFM to focus on her daughter's health, as well as a big move to Dubai.  Dr. Nadia and Zinzi share all of the incredible insights and work they've been doing to help Zinzi as she navigates disordered eating.  Megan and Dr. Nadia discuss how so many women are often undiagnosed with conditions like ADHD in childhood and how that can go on to impact their eating habits later in life. The importance of understanding neurodivergence, as ADHD often presents differently in women and girls compared to boys. [08:01] [30:25] The role of a supportive community, especially the Fasting Method Community, in providing guidance and a safe space to share their story. [13:41] Encouraging others, especially women, to advocate for themselves and seek proper diagnosis and support for ADHD and eating disorders, as these conditions are often overlooked or misdiagnosed. [15:54] [20:23] [26:28] Strategies Nadia and Zinzi have implemented at home, such as using calendars and schedules to help Zinzi stay organized, as well as avoiding restrictive diets and instead focusing on building a healthy relationship with food.
