Food, We Need To Talk

In this episode of The Talk, Professor Galpin first helps Eddie with his own personal health goals, and then we take some time going through all the current top fitness fads. We discuss saunas, cold plunges, nasal breathing, fitness trackers, high intensity interval training, electrolyte drink mixes, Ozempic, and more. Find out which "fads" are actually worth hopping on!  To hear the rest of the episode, come join the Foodie Fam: https://www.patreon.com/FWNTT Check out our book! https://read.macmillan.com/lp/food-we-need-to-talk/ Chat with us on IG! https://www.instagram.com/foodweneedtotalk/?hl=en Be friends with Juna on IG and Tiktok! https://www.instagram.com/theofficialjuna/ https://www.tiktok.com/@junagjata Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

World-renowned expert Professor Andy Galpin discusses the optimal amount and type of cardio for health, varying training throughout the year, and changing goals in the gym. They also explore the dramatic effects of exercise on brain health, improving proprioception, and the impact of 'exercise snacks'.

In this episode of The Talk, we both go through our experiences with meditation. Eddie discusses his twenty years practicing martial arts and how he was able to reconcile his spiritual practice in the Dojo with his medical practice at the hospital. Who knew Eddie was a black belt?! Juna tells the incredible tales of what it's like to go on two ten-day silent meditation retreats. Plus, there's a pretty epic Buddhist dad joke in there at the end!

You probably hear about mindful eating all the time, but maybe you think to yourself, how am I actually supposed to do this? There are so many things that are making us mind-LESS eaters: our phones, our food environment, our obsessive food tracking. In a world of calorie trackers and endless TikToks to scroll through, how can we learn to be more mindful eaters, enjoy our food more, and maybe even make better food choices in the process? Today, we talk to Monica Reinagel, The Nutrition Diva, all about mindful-ish eating. Check out Monica’s podcast The Nutrition Diva and her app The Nutrition GPA!

CLICK HERE for tickets and all event details! Most of us know that food affects our weight and energy levels, but what if the food you are eating is actually having a profound impact on your mental health as well? New research suggests that eating unhealthily might actually play a causal role in mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. In this episode, we speak to Professor Felice Jacka from Deakin University in Australia about her ground-breaking research into improving mental health just by improving lifestyle factors. What if you could feel less depressed by just eating better? This summer, there are more important reasons to eat better than just "looking good on the beach." Preorder our book!
