As a nutrionist, I like to eat well. However, the level of perfectionism that exists in diet/nutrition circles can't be healthy - does the stress & anxiety caused by constant over-analysis of daily food/meals outweigh the goodness delivered by the food? I wonder...

1 in 3 people you know have difficulty sleeping. Without a diagnosis, doctors can do little to help. The solution...sleep coaching. Take the F2S online course to become a sleep coach. Improve your own sleep and help others do the same. #sleepcoach #sleep #elearning #fit2succeed

It’s been several months since my last podcast interview. This episode with the globally-recognised circadian expert, Dr Sachin Panda was worth the wait. We explore key information for shift workers, overweight, & diabetes.

Why is Twitter such an antagonist environment? Everyone jostling for position & trying to always be ‘right’! It has the potential to be an insightful tool where the average person can interact with leading figures in any subject. But the ‘experts’ seem to like a public battle 😞
Some great content teased out in this interview. Worth a watch for any coaches out there

In the fitness industry this is a very common type of profile/website photo - posed looking serious with arms folded. For a people/service business, it’s really not very friendly or inviting. What do you think? Good or bad pose? #banPTpose #fitnesspose #betterprofile
Easter eggs have sugar, fat and are high in calories, but surely enjoying a small, sensible amount can form part of today’s celebrations. The egg symbolises new life and a chance to refocus for the future. Happy Easter everyone! #Easter2021
Good to finally see a study that separates unprocessed meat from its poor quality processed counterparts in relation to CV disease - as expected the strong link is only due to processed meat! #HeartHealth #meat #processedfood sciencedaily.com/releases/20…
One of my favourite podcast interviews in a good while - jam-packed with lots of good info

A great course on the importance of sleep for health, appetite regulation, stress reduction, and improved cognitive performance. Many thanks to @sportsleepcoach for the recommendation and @N_Fit_Education with @ben_pratt for the programme.

Apart from April 20 (Large spike) the excess mortality figures for 2017-2020 in Ireland show a fairly normal seasonal pattern. Since June 20 there has actually been lower than average excess mortality rates despite #COVID19 #COVID19ireland

So an RCT study of 6000 participants from Denmark showed that wearing masks made a 0.3% difference in the infection rate - this non-significant difference does not justify this required public health measure in Ireland
@LeoVaradkar @MlMcNamaraTD
BREAKING: Danish mask study that JAMA, NEJM & Lancet REFUSED to publish was just published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
In the largest randomized controlled trial to date w/ 6,024 subjects, medical masks were NOT effective protection against infection.

Could eggs, high in protein and unsaturated fats, really be a risk factor for causing diabetes?

This is an association, not a cause and effect study. Poor headline and reporting. It’s only in the final paragraph that it’s mentioned cohorts studied specifically moved away from traditional diet to a modern processed food diet! So unlikely anything to do with eggs at all!
Eating just ONE egg a day increases your risk of diabetes by 60 per cent, study warns trib.al/FzHKHa0
Is this worthy of consideration? Smoking kills ~6000 annually, but is a legal choice. COVID19 caused 1972 deaths in 10.5 months of 2020, yet whole country is in phase 5 lockdown. Should there be tougher smoking measures? Or is Covid stance too harsh? #smoking #covid19Ireland
