'Are you an emotional eater? Do you sabotage your own weight loss goals?    Goodness knows I have personally struggled with this one. You know.. how whenever you are stressed you reach for that comforting chocolate bar. Reminiscent of that famous scene in the Bridget Jones movie when she breaks up with her man.   Ever wondered why when your logical thinking brain makes a decision to eat more healthily... you somehow sabotage yourself. It's like someone else is in charge.   Well in this week episode scientist Matty Lansdown sits down with me to discuss such themes. Matty Lansdown is a scientist & nutritionist with over 10 years of experience and a background working in the health system. Firstly, in a nutritional epigenetics lab servicing elite athletes and also working as part of a disease research team within hospitals. Just a few years into his cancer hospital job, surrounded by amazing professors, doctors, PhD's nurses and fellow scientists he began to feel like an imposter. He was asking questions that no one else seemed to be asking, about the cause of disease and the impact of food on the body... It was so strange to him that quite obviously the large majority of patients were overweight or obese and no one talked about their diet or their lifestyle. Ever. Despite that, I was 100% certain of what I had realised years before: that being overweight or obese was the number 1 predictor of getting any of the chronic diseases (..and often it ends up being several). Working in this environment and asking unconventional questions led him down the research rabbit hole of mainstream medical history (hint, it's terrifying) but it also allowed many epiphanies and truths about health and wellness to flow into his mind and be realised. And so feeling misaligned with this behemoth entity that runs the world, he left my corporate science career because I saw the grand canyon sized hole in the world of health, nutrition and weight loss: On this podcast we have often talked about ideal diets and nutrition but never have we tackled the emotional aspect of it and in this episode that is exactly what we do. So if you are sick of yo yo diets and never achieving sustainable fat loss, if you are sick of failing and feeling guilty then this is the episode for you. If you want to stay healthy and be in control then Matty is the man.   Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Learn To Achieve Lasting Weight Loss Through Ideal Diet and Nutrition  Understand how to achieve sustainable fat loss Learn how to stay healthy and be in control.   Personalised Health Optimisation Consulting with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.   Topics Lisa can help with:  Lisa is a Genetics Practitioner, Health Optimisation Coach, High Performance and Mindset Coach.

In this episode Lisa speaks to chiropractic doctor Dr Dean Carter about chiropractic treatments and his holistic approach to health and wellness and why chiropractic is just one of a number of pillars that underpin a healthy human. Here are three reasons to listen in: 1. Understand what sublaxations are  2. Understand how the spine and spinal health and nervous system effect the body  3. The pillars that should make up and round out your chiropractic care and why chiropractors do more than just "crack backs"  "The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his or her patients in the care of the human frame, in proper diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." Thomas A Edison Dr Dean's approach to health and life philosophy is holistic, vitalistic and natural. His unique view of health is the underpinning foundation of Living Chiropractic & Wellness. Dr Dean believes in taking the time to get to the core issue of health problems. He sets out to understand the contributing factors of his patients health concerns, rather than simply dealing with their symptoms. The impact of losing many family members to lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer was the main influence for him to study health sciences, lifestyle and wellness care as a way of life and vocation. Dr Dean has twenty years of experience in wellness care and 15 years in chiropractic.  Practicing as a Chiropractor in Pukekohe for the last 15 years, Dr Dean understands the importance of his practice members keeping active. He empowers them to exercise, maintain postural awareness, and to stretch every day.

If you're like most people, you probably think of saunas as a luxurious way to relax after a long day. But did you know that sauna therapy can also offer many health benefits? Sauna therapy has multiple positive effects on your physical health — and an infrared sauna can help optimise those effects.  In this episode, Alex Tyson discusses the benefits of an infrared sauna, especially on cardiovascular health. He also recounts how he involved himself in the sauna industry and why he chose to take over their family business at a young age. Finally, he offers advice on how to use infrared saunas and how to pick the best ones. If you're looking to optimise your health and boost the effectiveness of your workouts, this episode is for you! Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover the benefits of sauna therapy. Understand the science behind the effects of a sauna on your cardiovascular system and parasympathetic nervous system.  Learn how to pick high-quality infrared saunas.   Episode Highlights [03:12] Alex’s Sauna Journey Alex's parents introduced him to the sauna industry from an early age. His parents eventually began to build their sauna company, iHealth Saunas.  Alex took over the family business in 2017 at the age of 24. His passion for helping others drives him to continue running his company.  [07:32] What Does Sauna Therapy Do? Sauna therapy enhances the cardiovascular system. It encourages the body to increase circulation and dilate blood vessels.  During a sauna session, the body naturally sweats, cools itself, and removes toxins. Saunas are a continuous cardiovascular workout that doesn't require the usage of any muscles.  Saunas accelerate recovery by reducing lactic acid buildup. [14:11] The Infrared Sauna Difference Compared with other types of saunas, infrared ones warm the body at a much lower temperature and activate its heat response system. Infrared saunas can be more comfortable than traditional ones due to the lower temperature. Heat stress stimulates the body to be awake. It also activates the parasympathetic nervous system.  [20:00] How to Use Sauna Therapy The best approach to using an infrared sauna depends on your goals. A hot sauna session in the morning or a cooler session in the evening may improve sleep.  Red-coloured lights help balance your circadian rhythm.  It’s best to have a lukewarm shower and decrease the lights in your home after a sauna session to optimise your sleep. [25:11] On Growth Hormones  Using the sauna three days in a row can help boost growth hormone production. The deeper penetration of infrared saunas helps stimulate human growth hormone production, even at lower temperatures. Fasting is another excellent approach. There are multiple ways to address a health problem.  The fundamentals of health and well-being need a multi-pronged approach.  [31:54] Alex's Path to Health Consciousness The number of individuals who came to Alex with debilitating illnesses and his father's Alzheimer's diagnosis prompted Alex to take care of his health. Poor sleep and chronic stress are all related to Alzheimer's.  Fortunately, more people are open to sharing information on health and wellness.  [39:17] On Running The Company   Alex took over his parents' company because he believed in its mission. Growing a company requires hard work. It isn't easy, but Alex pushed through it because he believed in what he was doing.  Entrepreneurs must focus on their customers and provide quality products to engage more people.   [45:16] Tips on Picking Quality Infrared Saunas     Examine the wavelength report to ensure the light it emits is infrared. Know the light's electromagnetic field.  Ensure the infrared sauna is electrically approved in your area. Feel the timbers and craftsmanship.   Read the company's reviews and become familiar with its services.  7 Powerful Quotes 'It's a natural bodily process to sweat. And for a lot of the population, they don't sweat a lot, right? And sauna is a really important way to remove toxins from the body as we know, and just open up the biggest organ of the body, which is the skin.'    'I'm really big on education in general. Because we don't know what we don't know. And chances are we have some ritual or routine in our life that doesn't serve us.'    'When I'm working with people or whatever, there is the problem in the middle; and there's 10,000 ways that we're going to attack it. And that could be a combination of food, fasting, hyperbaric, saunas, exercise, time, nature and meditation. All these things are valid pieces of the puzzle.'   ‘There has to be a multi pronged approach. Yeah, we need to look at the fundamentals of health and well being and see if we can tackle it through all of those.’    ‘There was always something inside me that knew that there were bigger things that I wanted to create and manifest in this world.’   'The sauna does become a really valuable part of our life. I really miss my sauna if I'm away and I can't sauna where I am. And that's a common thing that we hear from people. And so it's important that whatever sauna company you go with, [it] can look after you down the track.'   'We want people to be inspired and continue on that journey because the sauna is a real powerful catalyst for people. And it's about building the rituals into our life to really take our health to a higher level.'   Resources Gain exclusive access and bonuses to Pushing the Limits Podcast by becoming a patron!  Track your blood glucose in real-time with Levels Health.  Cortisol Effects on Body by Dr Ben Bickman.
