In these "Best Of" editions, I'm bringing those conversations back to life for your listening pleasure.In this episode, I speak with a number of people whom I consider a mentor in one way or another, and have taught me, or reminded me of many of the principles I have been developing and living by over the years.Luke Leaman starts the conversation with an explanation of the autonomic nervous system, and why it is important to understand how that works.https://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/8050195-luke-leaman-of-muscle-nerds.mp3?download=trueSimon Hall then picks up the conversation with his take on why looking after your physical and mental health is more important than anything else you will do, and how that needs to tie in with your value system.https://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/8170351-simon-hall-of-nourish-life-group.mp3?download=trueAndrew Pap and I discuss how our identity has been shaped by working in the fitness industry, how we've dealt with injuries, growing businesses, prioritising our mental and physical health, and time management strategies we are currently implementing.https://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/8246000-andrew-pap.mp3?download=trueNext up, Danny Lennon talks to me about his experience working with weight class athletes, common misconceptions in the combat sports diet industry, and how the metabolism will adapt in a negative manner when exposed to dieting measures for prolonged periods.https://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/8350336-danny-lennon-of-sigma-nutrition.mp3?download=trueWe round out the episode with Luke Leaman again, who dives into stress physiology, and the importance of gut health to ensure a healthy organism.
