TGM Classic | Giles Yeo | From Calorie Counting to Quality Eating: A Holistic Approach to Wellness

What if calories aren’t the whole story? In the realm of nutrition and health, the traditional belief has been that counting calories is the ultimate key to managing one’s diet effectively. But what if we told you calories might not be the key to a healthy diet? Delving beyond the calorie count, this question encourages us to explore the multifaceted elements that influence our health and well-being, such as food quality, nutrient content, and individual genetic factors. Giles Yeo, a biologist and professor of molecular neuroendocrinology at the Medical Research Council Metabolic Diseases Unit, and scientific director of the Genomics/Transcriptomics Core at the University of Cambridge, challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding weight management.  In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is joined by Giles to shed light on the importance of food quality, nutrient partitioning, and the role of genetics in our individual responses to diet and exercise. His perspective invites us to reevaluate our approach to nutrition, weight loss, considering a more holistic view of health that goes beyond calorie counting. Topics include: What sparked Giles’ interest in the genetics of obesity and body weight Giles explains what influences body weight and health The importance of educating children about nutrition and healthy choices Giles shares the impact of bariatric surgery Why it matters to maintain muscle mass while losing weight The crucial role of resistance training to preserve muscle and overall health And other topics… Sponsored by: Constant Contact: Try Constant Contact free for 30 days at constantcontact.com.

Darius Classic | How Do You Show Up In the World?

How do people see you, and more importantly, how do you see yourself? The way others treat us reflects their perception of us, but how we respond shows how we perceive ourselves. Being able to recognize and own this dynamic is key to building strong relationships - both personal and professional. Today, I am flying solo for the 300th episode of The Greatness Machine! To celebrate, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on a profound life lesson I recently learned. It is all about how people treat you based on their perception of you, and how your response is a mirror or your self-view. Despite being simple, this concept has the power to transform the way we engage with others and understand ourselves. In this episode, I explore the deep insights around power dynamics in relationships, the role of curiosity in self-reflection, and how we can better align our actions with the identity we wish to project. Through personal stories and practical wisdom, I challenge you to take stock of how you are showing up in your own life and how to leverage self-awareness for more authentic connections. Topics include: Darius talks about the power of perception in how others treat you The importance of self-awareness and curious responses Darius shares personal story about setting boundaries in business The value of authenticity in personal and professional relationships Darius encourages curiosity about how others perceive you The crucial role of authenticity in creating leverage and opening opportunities And other topics… Sponsored by: Constant Contact: Try Constant Contact free for 30 days at constantcontact.com.
