| Ep. 53 Do you need more discipline? | 07 Nov 2025 | 00:27:13 | |
"Just try harder." "If you wanted it badly enough, you'd do it." Why do some things stick for some people, and they haven't stuck for you? Maybe you've gone through big stop-start cycles of crushing it at the gym, running races, joining charity walks, and then once it's done, you're back to doomscrolling. But WHY? And how can you 'be more disciplined'? Do you even need more discipline? This episode is for you if you feel like you're a failure, not trying hard enough, and why maybe you've found consistency with eating well and exercising a challenge when you don't have an 18-year-old middle-class personal trainer with an attitude problem breathing down your neck...

| Why do I have beef with 'body neutrality'? | 31 Oct 2025 | 00:18:44 | |
Isn't body neutrality a good thing? Why am I such a hater? Well, what can I say, it comes to me naturally, but in this case, I think it's justified... The Bolder Edit Newsletter, join here Submit your questions to Ask Coach Rache Here Come play on Instagram, here Enquire for 1:1 coaching here | |||

| Ep. 39 Failing at counting your macros? Do you just need more motivation? Find out, with guest Jeb Stuart Johntson | 21 May 2023 | 01:48:33 | |
We are constantly bombarded with what motivation means, what we 'should' be doing all the time and what it means in the context of health and behaviour change. | |||
| Ep. 38 (Pt. 2) Nutritional neoliberalism, personalised scams and drag queens, naturally with Dr Alan Flanagan | 14 May 2023 | 01:06:01 | |
I am back with part two of my series with Dr Alan Flanagan! This episode explores the themes of hyper-individualism in the health and wellness space. Are vegetarians healthier? Are appetite suppressant medications the fall of the West? Is personalised nutrition a scam? Is 'good intent' enough to make someone removed from all harmful impacts? | |||
| Ep. 37 (Pt. 1) Is nutrition research f*cked? with special guest Dr. Alan Flanagan | 07 May 2023 | 00:54:05 | |
We are flooded with outrageous-sounding information on nutrition every single day. It always seems to be people with some credentials pedalling the latest toxic and poisonous nutrients, but what are the people working in nutrition research saying? Not the chiropractors turned 'nutrition experts' and why is it that nutrition seems to be so easily misinterpreted? | |||
| Ep. 36 Always starting your diet again on Monday? Why we self-sabotage and how we can overcome it with special guest Ella Whitcomb-Khan | 30 Apr 2023 | 01:12:10 | |
We all do it, don't finish the final set at the gym, tell ourselves we'll start again on Monday , ghost our coaches, let our goals fade into the distance when we might have had a really good chance of getting there. | |||
| Ep. 35 When 'it depends' follow your ick | 23 Apr 2023 | 00:17:11 | |
If you're trolling the internet for free but useful information in order to improve your diet or get more consistent in the gym, there are many different factors that go into advice. As a coach that tries their very best to give quality recommendations or suggestions for free, when I don't know that much about you it is really difficult and I always start everything with 'it depends' because it really does! I don't know how much you work, your preferences, your likes, and dislikes, if you have kids, how many kids, how old your kids are, etc. | |||
| Ep. 34 Pink dumbbells, Guiness world record attempts, and body neutrality oh my! With special guest - Bon Allen PT | 16 Apr 2023 | 00:44:18 | |
Do you ever wish that your personal trainer understood a bit more about living in a larger body? Or maybe what its like to have chronic illnesses? Or maybe even was just a legend who looked at things from a macro perspective rather than just getting shredded for summer? Well look no further, Bon is an incredible human who we are Not Nutrition Gurus are lucky enough to call our friend. She is on the light side of the industry, the resistance or jedi if you will. | |||
| Ep. 51 Do you need a coach or a therapist? | 23 Oct 2025 | 00:22:50 | |
I'm not a therapist, I'm not pretending that I am a therapist, but is the line between coaching and therapy a little blurry? Sure, I think it certainly can be confusing, but in this episode I break down exactly why you don't have to be confused and exactly what coaching can help you with and what might be best in your therapist's office...

| Ep. 33 Why stoicism and dieting don't go together, in my humble opinion | 09 Apr 2023 | 00:30:14 | |
Is it stoicism or is she dissociating? Right after the Easter holiday, I think we can all agree that copying and pasting a math solution onto an emotional issue just won't work. It is a round peg and a square hole... | |||
| Ep. 32 I'm not diabetic, but if carbs spike my blood sugar? Do I need a CGM? | 02 Apr 2023 | 00:40:01 | |
Your blood sugar will increase when you eat certain foods, carbohydrates, and protein, but how worried do we need to be about that? We all know that diabetes can wreak havoc on our health where glucose runs rampant in our bodies. But is it important to monitor how much your blood sugar spikes when you eat foods? Is that information going to help me make more personalised better nutritional choices? | |||
| Ep. 31 Basketball, Vasectomies and diet soda, what do they have in common? | 26 Mar 2023 | 00:11:19 | |
What do all of these things have in common you ask? Well let me tell you, in this little soundbite of an episode I discuss the difference between causation and correlation. Lots of things are correlated but that doesn't always add up to one CAUSING the other and we can really get carried away with this in nutrition studies. Especially in click-bait headlines. | |||
| Ep. 30 Begrudgingly taking my own advice... | 20 Mar 2023 | 00:09:03 | |
Well, this was not the podcast that was planned! However, I took my own advice to put out something less than perfect in the name of consistency, and I tease our next episode all about continuous glucose monitors and if we all really need them, or should we hand over our money immediately. Speak to you soon you legendary not-gurus. | |||
| Ep. 29 Why am I working out all the time and not burning enough calories? with special guest Rachel Henley | 13 Mar 2023 | 00:56:00 | |
Pardon the sound quality at the beginning of this episode! But if you stick with it, you'll figure out all the answers as to why your gym workouts are not burning as many calories as you think! It really does seem to be a myth that persists, exercise is great for us, and exercise does indeed burn calories but unless you're doing Iron man it is unlikely they burn enough calories to change your body composition significantly. So does that mean you don't have to work out at all? Or does that mean that you can do workouts you enjoy and it's all additive to your overall wellbeing? Tune in and find out :) | |||
| EP. 28 Nutrition coaching expectation vs. reality | 06 Mar 2023 | 00:21:04 | |
Slapping chocolate out of your hand, following you around telling you, you're worthless and lazy, is that what you're expecting with a nutrition coach? Well, I have such BAD NEWS FOR YOU, I won't be doing that. And not because I don't call my clients out on their bs, lovingly, but shame, guilt and over-restriction don't work to move you closer to your goals. My job as a coach is to pull the best out of you, not to judge you or pretend that broccoli tastes better than cheesecake, but rather move you closer to your goals whatever they may be. | |||
| Ep. 27 How not to die (nutrionally speaking) on night shift with Michelle Carroll Msc. | 27 Feb 2023 | 00:51:13 | |
Working the night shift is associated with an increased risk of obesity, anxiety, depression, diabetes and other comorbidities, so what can we do to give ourselves the best chance? Michelle's advice stems from a very qualified nutrition background and her own experience working nights! Beyond marrying rich, quitting your job and screaming into your pillow there are some practical things to do in order to give yourself the best chance at feeling somewhat alive after a night shift and ensure you're taking care of your body the best you can. | |||
| Ep. 26 Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? | 20 Feb 2023 | 00:22:21 | |
We have all heard it, we've heard it a million times, but is it actually true? Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? Few things make me more worked up than oversimplification and prescriptive nutrition advice. So let's dig into if you can kick-start your metabolism with a bowl of cheerios. | |||
| Ep. 25 Power Pod - Is it healthier if its all-natural? | 13 Feb 2023 | 00:16:17 | |
Ah yes the good old-fashioned return to nature fallacy, We hear it all the time, all-natural, organic, sulphate free etc etc etc. The list goes on and on but is natural better? What about is makes it better? In this tenny tiny little power pod Coach Rach discusses. | |||
| Ep. 24 At home food intolerance tests? Toot or boot? | 06 Feb 2023 | 00:28:52 | |
We've all seen the ads, we've all had friends happily forking over their hard-earned money to be told that they are 'intolerant' to foods that they eat all the time. Said friend gets sad for a day, then the friend ignores advice and keeps eating the way they always have. Well here's the thing companies that market food intolerance tests market them quite heavily as cure-alls but what do they actually do? Are they accurate? Tune in to find out :) | |||
| Ep. 50 Is under-eating the cause of your overeating? | 17 Oct 2025 | 00:20:54 | |
Overeating is something that we all have struggled with from time to time, but the thing that might be holding you back the most from overcoming bouts of unwanted overeating might surprise you...

| Ep. 23 Power Pod- Do I need powdered greens? | 30 Jan 2023 | 00:11:01 | |
This is a cheeky little bonus episode, some powdered food for thought if you will. Do you need powdered greens? Are you missing out on health enlightenment if you don't have them ready to go at all times, decanted in a glass container? In my humble opinion, no, you're not. Equally, what can you do if you're struggling to get some veg in? Rach provides a few practical tips at the end of the podcast to see you all off. | |||
| Ep. 22 Feeling vegan-curious during Veganuary? | 23 Jan 2023 | 00:38:50 | |
This is a power-pod on how to go vegan 'well'. If you've dabbled in veganism or did Veganuary, this is the podcast to ensure that your diet supports your overall health. It is easy to go vegan these days with all the products out there void of animal products-yay, there are also so many options out there that you don't actually have to eat well and be vegan. This is your guide to going vegan but eating well, not going anaemic or losing your gains. | |||
| Ep. 21 How to overcome gymtimidation once and for all, pass go, get healthy collect $200... | 16 Jan 2023 | 00:59:50 | |
Rachel Henley and Rachel Hunter walk you through practical tips to get yourself in the gym. Being intimidated to go into the gym is a real thing! But don’t let that stop you from reaching your goals. Rach and Rach give practical tips to get you in the door and get you started. Starting small, badly, awkwardly is still starting. | |||
| Ep. 20 New year, new me? What to focus on when ANOTHER diet feels soul destroying... | 09 Jan 2023 | 00:38:02 | |
New year, new me comes up every year, the thing is there isn't actually anything inherently wrong with a New Years' Resolution. However, it is worth considering how you can move towards your more ideal self without grinding yourself to dust, without making it all about how much you weigh and creating yet another self-defeating prophecy for yourself. So what can you focus on if you're not putting 'lose weight' at the top of your 2023 wishlist? Well, tune in to find out what could actually help you move towards your goals. The Rachels (trade mark pending) take a few tangents to rant about what is wrong with the fitness industry. Rachel Hunter also proposes a new play called 'Book of Stoics'. Much like the Book of Mormon, it will echo the rather misguided, religious psycho-babble of fitness bros and their beloved stoics giving Elder Cunningham a well-deserved rest. This episode is not to be missed! | |||
| Ep. 19 How to hack your New Years Resolutions with special guest Shannon Beer | 02 Jan 2023 | 01:01:35 | |
Your ideal self, core values and nutrition...? Oh my! What do all of these things have in common? Well, potentially your New Years' Resolution! Our special guest this week is heath and confidence coach Shannon Beer is as close to a guru as we'll likely get on a show where gurus are not allowed.

| Happy Boxing Day from Not Nutrition Gurus! | 26 Dec 2022 | 00:04:51 | |
This is not an official episode, just a little thank you from us to you for listening to our little passion project. It really means to world to us that you take time out of your busy days to spend some of it with us, we hope your New Year's celebrations are everything you ever wanted and next week we're back with a wonderful episode on goal-setting! Get excited!! | |||
| Ep. 18 How do you know if your workouts are effective? | 19 Dec 2022 | 00:47:51 | |
| Ep. 17 Is Macro-counting a GIGANTIC waste of your time? | 12 Dec 2022 | 00:44:30 | |
Nothing like Rachel Hunter on a rant on a Monday morning to really get you going. Macro counting has long been bludgeoned into us as a useful way to maintain, change or improve body shape but how necessary is it actually?? There are plenty of large nutrition coaching programs that have plenty of clients who get results with these methods, but there are plenty of people who are unable to track long enough to see good results. Why is that? Well tune in to find out :) | |||
| Ep. 16 Maintenance calories - most underutilised fat loss tool | 05 Dec 2022 | 00:45:21 | |
It is slower but adding a week or two, or a month or two of maintenance calories into your fat loss plan can be really helpful. Just because you're not losing body fat does not mean that you are not getting a bit fitter, stronger, and overall healthier. Don't let diet culture take away relearning some key eating habits, structuring your meals well and eating foods you love. If you've struggled with taking a week off of your diet this episode is for you. | |||
| Ep. 15 Are fitness professionals happier and healthier? Special guest Michelle Carroll MSc | 28 Nov 2022 | 00:43:04 | |
This week on Not Nutrition Gurus, we have our very first guest Michelle Carroll! Michelle has a master's in Sports and Exercise Nutrition which coupled with her unparalleled sense of humour makes her the ultimate first guest on the pod. During her master, she delved into research about the pertinence of body image and disordered eating in fitness professionals. It is so easy to assume in the fitness industry that the grass is always greener on the other side. Which in this case is "if they're a PT and have abs they MUST be healthy and have good body image". Well, listen in to find out if this is actually true. | |||
| Ep. 49 What I got (really) wrong about a positive body image... | 09 Oct 2025 | 00:23:39 | |

| Ep. 14 But what if I'm too sick or injured to diet and workout? | 21 Nov 2022 | 00:31:28 | |
Life is going well, and even better you feel like you FINALLY have a handle on your diet and your training. And yet there is the universe looming over you and you're struck down with random chaos. A speed bump in the road of life but it can feel like everything you've been working towards is thwarted and you're getting the tingling session of just giving up because "What's the point?" Although Rachel and Rachel won't be discussing the meaning of life, we're going to talk about some tips in persevering through an injury or illness where you do HAVE to take your foot off the gas pedal just a bit the difficulties that surround that. | |||
| Ep. 13 How to steer into the skid post holiday season tips pt. 2 | 14 Nov 2022 | 00:52:54 | |
Bloated, sad, no money, holidays are over, it's dark at 4 pm and now you look at the scale and have gained 10lbs in two weeks and you start to plan your next move so that you can be 'shredded for summer'. Does this all sound familiar? The cycle of doom with the holidays, possibly your holiday plans didn't go to plan exactly. Well, how do you come out of the other side of the holiday fog with all of your sanity and continue to make progress? This is the podcast for you, we run through practical tips like what to do with all of that candy and leftovers, as well as a cheeky toot and boot of terrible holiday advice kicking around. | |||
| Ep. 12 How your progress survives the holiday season pt. 1 | 07 Nov 2022 | 00:48:14 | |
Listen, we all love the holidays no matter what you may or may not celebrate the last two months of the calendar year typically do increase in family gatherings, social occasions, tasty foods, booze, deep regret about bringing up politics in front of Aunt Margeret even though you knew how it was going to end. But can you maintain your progress or even keep making progress when the last 8 weeks of the year are always a titillating mix of champagne truffles, office party faux pas and mashed potato volcanoes? We think that it can, yes. It may require some planning, maintaining your sensibilities and getting those reps in on acceptance and self-compassion. This is part one of our holiday season series, we do hope that you very much enjoy! | |||
| Ep. 11 Are you addicted to sugar? How toxic is it, really? | 31 Oct 2022 | 00:42:37 | |
Hey, Sugar, Sugar, pour some sugar on me because the Rachels have really pulled it out of the bag this time, if you have ever said 'I'm addicted to sugar' this episode is dedicated to you. As nutrition coaches, Rachel and Rachel get asked about sugar A LOT. In this episode, they break down what exactly sugar is, where you can find it if it is in fact addictive, where we can run into problems and finally some practical tips on how to help manage any sugar consumption problems you may or may not have. Keep this episode handy to whip out and airdrop to your Keto friends, you can thank us later. | |||
| Ep. 10 What to eat to get jacked pt. 2 of muscle gain | 23 Oct 2022 | 01:18:11 | |
This is a very juicy episode where Rach and Rachel go through literally everything you could possibly want to coach yourself through a muscle gain phase. There is so much bro-science out there about muscle gain that we wanted to put together an episode to cut through the noise, give you some real-life practical advice, reassure you on the things you are unsure if they are hearsay or relevant like leucine content, high-quality protein etc. | |||
| Ep. 9 So you want to get jacked? pt.1 of muscle gain | 16 Oct 2022 | 00:52:36 | |
What do I actually need to do to get muscular anyway?? If you're toning up for cuffing season hunnies and Rachel and Rachel have the answers to your questions. What is the best program to gain muscle? How do I find it? Do I need to track my workouts? If hitting Legs Bums and Tums every week religiously isn't giving you the Megan Thee Stallion Body-ody-ody you want, you need to listen to this episode. | |||
| Ep. 8 How can I accurately measure progress? | 09 Oct 2022 | 00:49:54 | |
Rach and Rachel chat about how to accurately measure your progress when it comes to fat loss, they take a slight detour into body image and genetics and land the plane back with measuring progress in muscle gain. We concluded that no one on earth needs to know their body fat percentage, gym scales are rubbish and comparison is the thief of progress. | |||
| Ep. 7 I'd rather sit on a hot grill than track my food to lose weight... | 02 Oct 2022 | 00:43:02 | |
So you don't want to use My Fitness Pal or any of the other millions of food-tracking apps out there to lose weight? Well, the good news is that there are lots of options for you outside of tracking. You'll still need some kind of structure in your nutrition but in this episode, we go through the different options we use with our clients depending on what their lifestyle is like. We hope you enjoy and we love your feedback! | |||
| Ep. 6 Is it possible you NEED to eat 1200kcals to lose fat? | 25 Sep 2022 | 00:37:21 | |
Ohhhh boy we're going to trigger some people with this one! This episode is a shout-out to the people who are exceptions to the rule and don't quite meet the rule of averages. To be clear, MOST people to lose fat do not need to eat 1200kcals, and we explain why. We also explain why there are good reasons why some people might actually need to eat lower calories to lose body fat AND why that is. Also discuss advanced dieters who may be poverty calorie psychos. | |||
| Ep. 5 Meal plans or meal fails? | 18 Sep 2022 | 00:36:57 | |
As nutrition coaches, we are constantly asked for meal plans, and we totally get it, it can be really difficult to course correct your nutrition so that it serves you better! You're busy and you want to improve but you don't even know where to start, meal plans sound like the perfect solution. JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO! Are meal plans a genuine 'fix' or are they potentially well-intentioned but an ill-conceived effort to improve your diet? | |||
| Ep. 48 Is calorie counting bad for you? | 02 Oct 2025 | 00:30:56 | |
Is counting calories bad for you? Google will tell you one thing, your past nutrition coach might tell you another, but what is really best for you?

Please lean in closer dear friends, let us tell you all of the secrets of how to get super 'toned'. We hear that ALL the time, do we not? But what does that actually mean? And how do you do that? Do you feel like going to Legs, Bums and Tums three times a week just isn't working for you and you don't actually feel more toned at all, why is that? Well take a step away from booking that 6am spin class and let us convince you to come to weight room, we can't wait to see you there. | |||
| Ep. 3 You had me at healthy aging, why protein rules... | 04 Sep 2022 | 00:44:00 | |
So you've started to dabble in improving your health and fitness, why is it that nutrition coaches and personal trainers are always banging on about protein? We delve into the benefits of protein, even outside of trying to get #jacked. Improving your health markers, trying to drop body fat, or even just improving the composition of your meals? Protein is your gal and we're here to tell you why. This is a very beginner-friendly introduction to why and how you might want to increase your protein. | |||
| Ep. 2 Don't call us Kelly Rowland, we're not your motivation | 21 Aug 2022 | 01:00:12 | |
Motivation is a funny feeling because when we're seeking a lifestyle change, we all think that if we just had a little bit more we'd be able to accomplish anything and everything. Is that really the case though? Today the coaches chat through different types of motivation and touch on struggles their clients have had in the past. Rachel Henley also lies about owning lipstick... | |||
