Push Pull Health

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?Why does your body start falling apart after 50, and is there actually anything you can do about it? Why is walking not enough? And why was a 49-year-old man cast as a care home resident in 1985 with nothing more than a grey dye job?Ben and Fiona get into the stuff nobody really explains about ageing–the muscle loss that starts in your 30s, the strength decline that accelerates after 50, and why most of the advice older adults receive sends them in completely the wrong direction.They cover sarcopenia and dynapenia, lifespan vs healthspan, why bone density responds to load at any age, what's actually driving muscle loss during menopause, how much protein older adults actually need, and whether GLP-1s cause muscle loss or whether that's just the wrong question. The myths get a proper run-through too–walking is enough, lifting after 60 is dangerous, muscle loss is inevitable.They finish with Cocoon. Because sometimes a film about pensioners jumping into a swimming pool full of alien cocoons is the most on-topic thing you can watch.With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot. This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes: Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.Half-arsed film reviews.The exploitation of children.True Crime recommendations.Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)Narcissistic wisdom. WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?Howdy,I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition! Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days! Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits? Only to start the same rotten cycle again?YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 30 DAY DIET KICK-UP-THE-ARSER YoutubeInstagramFacebookTwitter

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?Want a no‑nonsense roadmap from off‑season to stage day? We walk through a practical 15‑week bodybuilding prep, showing you how to set calories, train hard without burning out, and use carb timing and refeeds for performance instead of excuses. No magic resets here—just evidence, lived experience, and clear tactics that keep you leaner, fuller and sane when it matters.We start by building the base: high training volume with progressive overload, minimal cardio unless body fat is high, and predictable meals that you can repeat under pressure. Then we introduce a calm deficit targeting 0.5 to 1% weight loss per week, push protein to 2.0 to 2.4 g per kg to protect muscle, set fats near 20 to 25%, and taper carbs in line with session demands. You’ll hear when to front‑load or back‑load carbs, why timing is more about adherence than physiology, and how two‑day refeeds can lift performance and preserve lean mass without turning into a cheat‑fest.At six weeks out, we tighten the system: track everything, rotate carbs for heavy days, keep fats low to prioritise glycogen, and narrow food choices to avoid GI drama. We demystify peak week with a simple, testable plan: low‑fibre carb sources like cream of rice and rice cakes, steady sodium and water, and small final tweaks that prevent spillover. If you’re lean enough, you’re already there—peak week won’t save a soft look, and it won’t ruin a sharp one if you keep it simple.We close with the piece most athletes neglect: post‑show. Skip the endless “reverse” dribble; return to your new maintenance based on your current weight, have your celebration meal, and stabilise with structure so you don’t rebound for two weeks. Along the way, we reflect on Magazine Dreams—the thin line between discipline and obsession, and why a support network matters when your goal demands isolation.If this helps, follow the show, share it with a training partner, and leave a quick review—what’s your biggest prep challenge right now?With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot. This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes: Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.Half-arsed film reviews.The exploitation of children.True Crime recommendations.Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)Narcissistic wisdom. WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?Howdy,I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition! Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days! Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits? Only to start the same rotten cycle again?YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 30 DAY DIET KICK-UP-THE-ARSER YoutubeInstagramFacebookTwitter 

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?Mild discomfort is the sneakiest trap. When life is “fine,” change feels unnecessary—until it isn’t. We pull back the curtain on the psychology that keeps people circling quick fixes: the region beta paradox, cognitive dissonance, and the availability heuristic that makes past diets look better than they felt. The mediocrity trap—tight clothes that still button, creaky knees on the stairs, bleak sleep patched with coffee—shows why tolerable problems rarely spark action. From there, we map the fork in the road: flashy six‑week shreds versus the slow, identity‑level work that actually sticks. Ben shares the evidence‑based lens he’s just earned, and we lay out simple trade‑offs that compound over time. Then we get blunt about cognitive dissonance. You want the outcome, but your trolley and calendar tell a different story. We offer a practical fix: build a new identity quietly by acting like the person you’re becoming, not by announcing it. Finally, we unpack the availability heuristic and the fading effect: you remember compliments and old jeans more readily than you do hunger, isolation, and rebound. That’s the dieting loop—fail, pain fades, remember the win, repeat. With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot. This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes: Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.Half-arsed film reviews.The exploitation of children.True Crime recommendations.Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)Narcissistic wisdom. WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?Howdy,I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition! Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days! Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits? Only to start the same rotten cycle again?YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 30 DAY DIET KICK-UP-THE-ARSER YoutubeInstagramFacebookTwitter 

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?What if the “ideal body” started as a philosophy lesson? We kick off with the Greek blueprint for symmetry and virtue, then fast-forward through Sandow’s stage poses, Steve Reeves’ natural benchmark, and the cinematic spark of Pumping Iron. From there, the story bends: testosterone enters gyms, the Golden Era balances mass with clean lines, and the nineties push size to the edge with Dorian Yates and Ronnie Coleman redefining conditioning. You’ll hear how training volume dropped, intensity spiked, and once-human shapes gave way to cartoonish mass.We unpack the culture around physiques, too, and how Hollywood transformations set impossible clocks with dehydration, diuretics, and carb tricks for a single day of filming. We talk Liver King and “fake natties,” how influencer economies thrive on denial, and why the industry keeps rewarding behaviours that would look like disordered eating anywhere else. The core tension surfaces clearly: when does discipline become obsession, and why does looking better so often mean feeling worse?If you train, coach, or care about your health, you’ll come away with a grounded sense of what’s real: the likely lifetime muscle gain for natural lifters, the health costs of PEDs and SARMs, and a practical lens to judge claims online. We don’t preach; we put the history, the hype, and the hard truths side by side so you can decide what you’re chasing and why it matters. Enjoy the ride through physiques, film, and physiology—and if this episode got you thinking, follow the show, share it with a friend who lifts, and leave a quick review to help more people find us.With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot. This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes: Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.Half-arsed film reviews.The exploitation of children.True Crime recommendations.Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)Narcissistic wisdom. WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?Howdy,I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition! Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days! Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits? Only to start the same rotten cycle again?YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 30 DAY DIET KICK-UP-THE-ARSER YoutubeInstagramFacebookTwitter 

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?Start with the noise and jokes, stay for the clarity. We’re taking a scalpel to the health and fitness myths people keep running into —from GLP-1 panic to the 6 pm food curfew —and giving you the simple playbook that actually holds up. First up: GLP-1s like Wegovy and Ozempic don’t “melt muscle.” Rapid weight loss on a low-protein diet does. If your appetite goes down and you eat less of the same low-protein meals, you risk losing lean mass. The fix is straightforward: keep protein high, strength train 2 to 3 times per week, and add fibre so you can stick to the plan.Next, we crack the late-night eating myth. Calories at 9 pm are still calories. The real problem is behaviour: TV, wine, snacks, and decision fatigue. Some people even adhere better to more evening carbs when total calories are matched. Use a time window if it helps curb the 9 pm spiral, but don’t let a clock bully you. Then we take on sugar “addiction.” Your brain lights up with sugar, but it also lights up with hugs. That’s not the clinical definition of addiction. Ultra-palatable foods are engineered to be easy to overeat. The practical move is less demonising and more structured: protein-forward meals, fibre for fullness, treats without moral drama, and fewer opportunities to mindlessly graze.We also address fears of insulin and fructose. No, you can’t store fat in a chronic calorie deficit because insulin “traps” it there. Fructose in fruit is not a poison; context and total energy matter. Spot reduction? Still a myth. Crunches build ab endurance, not selective fat loss. You’ll get a slimmer waist with a steady calorie deficit, lifting to keep muscle, and movement you can repeat all week. Breakfast myths fade too: your metabolism never shuts off, and meal frequency doesn’t stoke anything special. Finally, we wind down with a tight review of Trick' R Treat, a cult Halloween favourite whose rules are actually memorable: wear a costume, respect the jack-o’-lantern, and check your sweets. If only diet advice were that tidy. Until then, here’s what is: energy balance, protein, fibre, strength training, steps, and sleep. Enjoyed this?

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?Want fat loss that survives real life, not just a good week? We cut through the noise by separating unchanging principles from interchangeable methods, then show how to choose the method that fits your actual routine. We map the four types of dieters so you can spot where you sit—especially the “unknowingly non‑adherent” trap where snacks, oils and sips quietly erase your deficit. From sleep and stress to protein, fibre and social pressure, we share the small levers that move adherence without turning your life into a spreadsheet.We dig into hedonic and emotional eating and why unconditional permission to eat often reduces binges more than rigid rules ever will. You’ll hear how controlled food variety supports consistency, why low‑hanging‑fruit habits deliver significant returns, and what the Kevin Hall study reveals about ultra‑processed foods and spontaneous over‑eating. We also unpack the distinction between fast and slow weight loss, when each approach makes sense, and the often-overlooked phase that most plans skip: maintenance. Think of maintenance as a skill—practice it to protect both results and headspace.Metabolic adaptation gets a reality check: you’re not broken, just more efficient. Maintain muscle with protein and resistance training, stay active, and adjust your approach as needed. Finally, we challenge “clean eating” language and outline a flexible approach that uses structure without moralising food. If you’re tired of plans that look great on paper but collapse on Friday night, this conversation offers clear, evidence‑led steps you can repeat on busy weeks, not just perfect ones.If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a sane plan, and leave a quick review—tell us which habit you’ll try first.With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot. This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes: Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.Half-arsed film reviews.The exploitation of children.True Crime recommendations.Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)Narcissistic wisdom. WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?Howdy,I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition! Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days! Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits? Only to start the same rotten cycle again?YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 30 DAY DIET KICK-UP-THE-ARSER YoutubeInstagramFacebookTwitter 

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?Ever wonder if those multivitamins you're taking are actually doing anything? You're not alone. In this eye-opening exploration of micronutrients, we cut through the confusion and marketing hype to reveal what your body genuinely needs and what's just expensive urine.The truth about vitamin deficiencies is surprisingly nuanced. While many of us associate true deficiency with severe conditions like scurvy or rickets, there's a vast middle ground where we're not technically "deficient" but definitely underperforming. Think of it like your car – when it's truly deficient in oil, warning lights flash and it breaks down. But long before that point, it runs inefficiently, spluttering through the week while you wonder why your energy and performance aren't what they could be.Vitamin D emerges as perhaps the most critical supplement for anyone living in the UK and Europe. With minimal sunlight exposure, especially during winter months, nearly everyone falls short of optimal levels. The therapeutic dose range far exceeds what most people get through diet alone. This isn't just about bone health – vitamin D impacts everything from immune function to mood regulation and potentially even strength gains and fat loss.We also tackle the complex relationship between different nutrients. Calcium without vitamin D is largely wasted, as your body needs the latter to absorb the former properly. Iron absorption varies dramatically between animal sources (heme iron) and plant sources (non-heme iron), with various compounds in food either enhancing or blocking uptake. These interactions explain why simply popping a multivitamin isn't the solution many hope for.Perhaps most surprisingly, we reveal how many "sleep-enhancing" supplements like magnesium might actually be working through the placebo effect and improved sleep habits rather than direct physiological mechanisms. Whether you're feeling chronically fatigued, struggling with recovery, or want to optimise your nutrition, this episode provides the evidence-based framework to make informed decisions about supplementation. Because as we discovered, taking a multivitamin with your McMuffin doesn't make it a balanced meal.With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot. This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes: Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.Half-arsed film reviews.The exploitation of children.True Crime recommendations.Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)Narcissistic wisdom. WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?Howdy,I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition! Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days! Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits? Only to start the same rotten cycle again?YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 30 DAY DIET KICK-UP-THE-ARSER YoutubeInstagramFacebookTwitter 

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?The war between fats and carbs has raged for decades, leaving confused consumers jumping from one diet extreme to another. In this evidence-based exploration, we finally put these "usual suspects" on trial and separate nutrition fact from fiction.Fat has spent years as public enemy number one, vilified through misguided public health campaigns that failed to distinguish between harmful trans fats and essential dietary fats. We reveal why fat is crucial for hormone production, brain health, and vitamin absorption—and why the term "fattening" was always more marketing than science. From the critical differences between saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats to the danger of the "health halo" that leads to overconsumption, we deliver practical wisdom about this misunderstood macronutrient.Meanwhile, carbohydrates have endured their own undeserved demonisation. We explore how carbs function as preferred fuel for high-intensity activity and brain function, debunk the insulin fearmongering that's become rampant online, and explain why that rapid weight loss on low-carb diets is mostly water, not fat. The glycemic index, carb timing, and fibre's crucial role—all addressed with clarity and evidence.What emerges is a surprisingly liberating truth: you don't need to choose between fats or carbs. A flexible approach where you swap them around based on preferences and activity levels can work brilliantly for most people. The real culprits aren't macronutrients in isolation but ultra-processed combinations of refined fats, carbs and salt designed to override our natural satiety signals.Ready to move beyond restrictive eating dogma? This episode will transform how you think about nutrition fundamentals and give you practical strategies for making peace with both fats and carbs. Because good nutrition isn't about finding villains—it's about finding what works for your body, goals, and lifestyle.With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot. This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes: Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.Half-arsed film reviews.The exploitation of children.True Crime recommendations.Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)Narcissistic wisdom. WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?Howdy,I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition! Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days! Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits? Only to start the same rotten cycle again?YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 30 DAY DIET KICK-UP-THE-ARSER YoutubeInstagramFacebookTwitter

Why? Because somewhere along the way, protein became "that thing bodybuilders eat" instead of what it truly is: the essential macronutrient your body desperately needs.This episode blows the lid off protein myths that have been holding you back from feeling your best. You'll discover why protein isn't just about bulking up—it's the cornerstone of hormone production, immune function, and that elusive feeling of fullness after meals. We tackle why most people barely hit their protein needs (hint: "carbs are fun, fat is luxury, protein is responsibility") and how this deficiency might be sabotaging your energy, recovery, and body composition goals.From the startling truth about muscle loss that begins in your 30s to practical, budget-friendly protein sources that don't require cooking skills, we've created a roadmap for achieving protein success. You'll learn exactly how much protein you really need (spoiler: it's more than you're getting), how to distribute it throughout the day for maximum benefit, and why spacing matters more than you think.Whether you're confused by conflicting nutrition advice or simply seeking sustainable ways to enhance your diet, this episode offers actionable insights without the usual gym-bro intensity. The solution might be as simple as starting your day with 25 grams of protein and building from there.With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot. This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes: Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.Half-arsed film reviews.The exploitation of children.True Crime recommendations.Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)Narcissistic wisdom. WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?Howdy,I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition! Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days! Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits? Only to start the same rotten cycle again?YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 30 DAY DIET KICK-UP-THE-ARSER YoutubeInstagramFacebookTwitter 

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?What if everything you've been told about nutrition is wrong? Or at least, not entirely right? In this deep-dive episode, we tackle the mountain of misinformation surrounding nutrition and health, challenging popular myths that have become accepted as truth.Ever wondered why vegetarians seem healthier? It might not be what you think. We explore how the "health-seeking illusion" skews research and why comparing health-conscious omnivores to health-conscious vegetarians yields surprisingly similar results. The conversation shifts to gluten – that notorious dietary villain – and reveals why most people who feel better after eliminating it might be experiencing benefits for entirely different reasons than they believe.The artificial sweetener debate receives a scientific reality check as we examine the evidence behind common concerns. How many cans of Diet Coke would you need to drink daily to reach concerning levels? (Spoiler: it's far more than anyone could reasonably consume.) We also scrutinise organic food claims, questioning whether the substantial price premium delivers proportional health benefits.Drawing from global dietary patterns – from the high-carb Kitavans to the high-fat traditional Inuit – we demonstrate that dramatically different macronutrient compositions can sustain excellent health. The fascinating case study of the Pima Indians reveals how identical genetics yield radically different health outcomes based on lifestyle rather than diet alone.The episode concludes with a candid exploration of body positivity, weight stigma, and what constitutes genuine health beyond the numbers on a scale. We also explore Bryan Johnson's extreme anti-ageing experiments and what they might mean for the future of longevity science.Whether you're a nutrition enthusiast, health professional, or simply trying to make better food choices, this evidence-based exploration cuts through the noise and provides practical insights into what truly matters for optimal health.

And it's just like—it's natural. It's a way of life."Just shut up, just be a rock. Just enjoy it.”Ben and Fiona tackle the chaos, confusion, and clichés around menopause—cutting through the fluff and wellness bullshit to explain what’s going on in your body, and why “waiting it out” is not a plan.The four stages: premenopause, perimenopause, menopause, postmenopause—and why no one tells you what any of them mean until you’re in the thick of itThe common symptoms no one takes seriously: night sweats, weight gain, joint pain, insomnia, brain fog, sudden rage.Why strength training, higher protein, and some basic structure aren’t “nice-to-haves”—they’re your ticket to not losing your mind or your independence.The truth about HRT: when it helps, what it won’t fix, and why your GP might still be stuck in 1998The shame around even saying the word menopause—and why calling it “the change” helps no onePlus, how the film Everything Everywhere All at Once weirdly sums up what it feels like to be perimenopausal, overstimulated, and still expected to be functionalYou’re not broken.

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?“Discipline Isn’t About Being Perfect—It’s About Having a Plan When You Can’t Be Arsed”This episode unpacks the real reason most people fail at consistency—and spoiler alert—it’s not because they’re lazy.Ben and Fiona tear down the myth that discipline is about grinding harder or punishing yourself into results. Instead, they reframe it as structure, systems, and having your own back when you least feel like it.Key Takeaways:Motivation is unreliable. If your whole plan depends on “feeling it,” it’s already dead in the water.Discipline is structure, not self-punishment. It’s about removing choice in moments where choice becomes chaos.You don’t need to be perfect—just consistent enough. Fiona shares how learning to bounce back from slip-ups (instead of spiralling) was a game-changer.Slipping up doesn’t mean starting over. A bad day is just a bad day. Not a reason to torch the whole week.Messy repetition > heroic effort.

How 'bout that ride in? I guess that's why they call it Sin City."Authors Note* This episode was borderline unreleasable as although some of the information on alcohol and its effects on your Health might be useful, Ben's narcissistic rambling about his experiences with booze threatened to sabotage an otherwise fantastic, insightful conversation...Stick with us...We get good at Episode 100...I feel Robo Ben has done well with this week's episode summary:We open up about our evolving relationship with alcohol, reminiscing about our days of youthful revelry and transitioning to a more moderate, reflective consumption. This personal journey mirrors a broader cultural shift toward moderation, influenced by social media's ever-watchful eye, which often compels us to share rather than truly experience moments.We then delve into how hangovers often lead to poorer dietary choices. For instance, the story of Fiona's life-saving rotten banana at 4 a.m. exemplifies the bizarre food decisions one might make under the influence. Furthermore, we discuss how to make smarter drink choices. Choosing lower-calorie versions of your favourite alcoholic beverages can significantly reduce the overall caloric intake of an evening, which is especially beneficial for those watching their weight. This segment highlights not only the direct effects of alcohol on our Health but also its ability to lead us into other unhealthy habits, such as excessive eating and smoking.Much of our discussion highlights Ben's disdain for the sober friends who document our less dignified moments, questioning the drive behind capturing nights out we might not remember. We also ponder the cultural obsession with forgetting nights out, debating why erased memories are sometimes celebrated as great nights. This leads to a sobering conversation on regular drinkingWith a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot. This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes: Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.Half-arsed film reviews.The exploitation of children.True Crime recommendations.Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)Narcissistic wisdom. WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?Howdy,I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition! Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days! Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits? Only to start the same rotten cycle again?YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 30 DAY DIET KICK-UP-THE-ARSER YoutubeInstagramFacebookTwitter 

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?2 Week Trial on the app Ben keeps banging on aboutPush Health Health Calorie CalculatorThe Psychology of Dieting and a Review of the Film 'One Hour Photo.'One of the key takeaways from the episode is the complex reality of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  We discuss how social media can distort our perception of health, promoting unrealistic body standards and overnight transformations that are often not sustainable or healthy. We emphasize the need to move away from the allure of quick fixes offered by the fitness industry and toward a measured approach that encourages consistent effort over time.Many of us fall into the trap of rushing through dieting to see quick results, but we highlight that the scale can be misleading. Factors like water retention, menstrual cycles, and muscle gain can affect weight without truly reflecting the changes in our bodies. We also debunk the myth that weightlifting will automatically lead to bulky muscles, clarifying that 'toning up' is actually about losing body fat to reveal lean muscle.Through personal stories and practical advice, we provide listeners with strategies to navigate the minefield of eating habits, calorie management, and the challenges of maintaining motivation for exercise.ALSO...Ben's got another vest on.

Ben and the Irish Cankle navigate topics with the grace of a bull in a china shop, dish out a blend of advice, personal anecdotes, and raw reflections on their journey through the health and fitness industry.The duo embarks on a discussion that's as meandering as a drunken sailor's walk home. They touch on the importance of dietary supplements with the enthusiasm of someone who’s just discovered the secret to eternal youth. They debate the merits of vitamin D, protein, and the hedonic treadmill, with the seriousness of philosophers pondering the meaning of life, all while keeping it as light as a feather caught in a hurricane.They critique The Matrix and Keanu Reeves’ acting prowess with the finesse of a butcher doing open-heart surgery. Through this chaotic ballet of topics, they stumble upon gems of wisdom, like recognising the hedonic treadmill in our lives and the magic of saying “I don’t know” in an age that values false confidence over genuine curiosity.Underneath the layers of sarcasm and self-mockery, there's a genuine attempt to push personal health boundaries, embrace a “rotten attitude” toward the conventional fitness narrative, and celebrate the messiness of trying, failing, and trying again. It's a reminder that health isn't just about supplements and workouts; it's about navigating the pulls of life with a push of humour, a dash of humility, and a willingness to eat cake on the journey.With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot. This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes: Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.Half-arsed film reviews.The exploitation of children.True Crime recommendations.Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)Narcissistic wisdom. WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?Howdy,I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition! Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days! Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits? Only to start the same rotten cycle again?YOUR COMPLIMENTARY 30 DAY DIET KICK-UP-THE-ARSER YoutubeInstagramFacebookTwitter
