The topic is Diabetes, and I had the best person to give me the answers - a returning guest on this show - Emma Storey-Gordon. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even though the topic is Diabetes, and we touched on in general terms, the discussion was mainly aimed at the Type 2 Diabetes, which is a subject that Emma is researching thoroughly for quite some time now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Besides general information, we talked about some of the most common misconceptions on Diabetes, it’s link with obesity, approach to management through lifestyle, advice on nutrition, exercise, and we mentioned other stuff such as genetical predisposition and more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, with it being the shortest conversation so far on this podcast, I think we packed it with a lot of good information, and Emma delivered the answers and advice in a very understandable and applicable manner. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope you’ll appreciate it and find the information useful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ EMMA's info and contact: - Instagram: @esgfitness - Facebook: EsgFitness - Website: esgfitness.co.uk - Email: [email protected] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Sign up for Emma's 8 Week Female Fat Loss Program at 'Upgrade You': upgradeyou.co.uk ✔️ #podcast #diet #dieting #obesity #overweight #diabetes #type2diabetes #health #lifestyle #knowledge #darkobotic

🗨️ Previously in my life I've tried meditating probably couple of hundreds of times. Never seem to the get the grip of it, to focus, to concentrate, to feel relaxed. # Ironically, my previous attempts to meditate caused me even more stress. But this is not an anomaly, or a paradox. It was a process, that I never fully grasped. # However, thanks to brilliant apps such as Headspace and Calm, I've been successfully and mindfully (pun intended) meditating for, give or take, a year. # And it all started with a few simple steps that I'm going to recommend you following: # 1. Install either Headspace or Calm on your smartphone. I would recommend both, for variety sake. # 2. Follow their programs on a DAILY basis. Consistency is the key with many things in life if you chase success, but in the case of meditation it's even more prominent. # 3. Realize that you shouldn't master it at first. Don't expect entering some kind of a psychedelic zen mode. It's all about focusing on on your breath, while being completely aware of the moment. Observe your thoughts and, in time, learn how to let them go. # 4. Also realize it will only take ~10 minutes of your time. You can find or create that time. # 5. Feel free to message me if you need any help with it. And I would love if - after certain period of time - you let me know how it goes and what are you experiencing through mindfulness and meditation. # I generally recommend this to a lot of my clients that are under chronic stress and/or have a problem coping with the acute stress and impulsive reacting. # Meditation certainly has a powerful positive impact on my sleep, stress levels, emotional state, and on quality of life in general. # ✔️ #️⃣ #meditation #lovinglife #headspace #calm #stress #stressed #stressreliever #stressrelief #yoga #peaceofmind #pt #personaltrainer #personaldevelopment #onlinecoach #onlinecoaching #darkobotic #teamsbs

🗨 An actual photograph from the Crossfit Box in my gym. ⬇️ This here is exactly why people usually enjoy either enjoy or hate Crossfit. Rarely there's a middle ground. ⬇️ Which is completely understandable since Crossfit generally promotes black-and-white preaching without any evidence, and, even worse, any sort of justification or rationalization. ⬇️ Take-home note here isn't to dislike Crossfit. But to question everything and everyone who presents you a one-way direction whilst forbidding alternative, even if it makes more sense. ⬇️ Conclusion: do you. And what works for you. Not what gurus and fads dictate. ✔️ #️⃣ #sciencebitch #pt #personaltrainer #personalcoach #evidence #evidencebased #lifting #liftingweights #powerlifting #bodybuilding #fads #weightloss #teamsbs #darkobotic
