Hannah is the ultimate mate! After losing her sight she really began to live life. From studying sport and exercise, learning to run, be an athlete, be a triathlete, to a track cyclist aiming for the Paris Olympics. Not only has she proven herself over and over in her athletic abilities she has also shown that there is no holding her back in life. Now a wife and Mum to young Max, Han shows and teaches that the only obstacle holding you back.. is yourself. Such a privilege to have Hannah as a friend, inspiration and teacher.

#17 Are you fed?
Sounds like a silly question, but are you? We can have a misguided alignment in thinking that we may reach our goals better by being under fueled. But this is often taken way out of context and isn't overly reliable in reaching our goals. Today's episode looks into why being fed is so important and why skipping meals may be the reason why so many can't seem to get a rhythm with their nutrition.

#13 Can I have my cake and eat it too?
In today's episode we look into this phrase. What it means and how best to approach it for your nutrition and/or weight loss goals. People are mostly put off losing weight because they think its full of restricting favourite foods and that it's going to be hard and they're going to be miserable. But it certainly doesn't have to be that way. When working with me, you certainly will learn about having your cake and eating it too.

#12 You don't lack will power
The phrase "sort out your willpower" really shits me. It is not will power you lack.. we all have it.. in varying amounts. Today's episode explains what will power is, why we all seem to have different amounts or strengths of it and how you can improve it. Because you most certainly do not lack it or don't have it. Like anything, it can be improved, depleted and ignored.

#11 Restrict- add don't restrict
This last thing you will hear from me when starting your nutrition journey, is that you need to cut things out of your diet. This is not how I roll at all. In fact, you will hear me say that you need to add, add, add things into your daily diet to improve your chances of reaching your goals. Restriction doesn't lead you anywhere but to misery and contempt. Let's hear why.

#9 What do you need to do?
In this episode we look into what it is that you may need to do, to reach your goals. I often say that the science behind nutrition, exercise and weight loss is simple, because it is, but putting it into action is where it turns hard. It is so easy to get lost amongst it all and give up. But it doesn't have to be that way. Not at all.

I hate to break it to you, but anyone telling you that you can reduce body fat in certain areas by x,y and z... is either lying to you or trying to sell you something.

As I always say, we follow a KISS approach here at The Rig, keep it simple stupid, so I won't be overwhelming you with science, just the truth.. and why its a marketers dream.

#3 Barry Booze Hag
In today's episode we learn about Barry Booze Hag and his mates and just how much he can negatively impact our lives/goals. Alcohol is a culture and here in NZ we have a very strong binge drinking culture. We have normalised alcohol and made it socially acceptable to over indulge. Just how much it affects us and how our body metabolises alcohol may be a steep learning curve for some. If you or anyone you know suffers from substance or alcohol abuse you can seek help at www.alcoholdrughelp.org.nz or call 0800 787 797.
