This week's episode is an important and interesting one. Let's talk about protein.
In this episode:
What is protein? Why is it important? How much protein do we need? The optimal sources of protein. Complete and incomplete proteins? Should you consume protein powders? The controversy around protein.
I don't know why I haven't made a podcast about this sooner. I enjoyed it and I hope you do too!
The calculations: (for example: 0.8 x (weight in kg) = protein per day for sedentary adult)
Sedentary adult: 0.8-1g per kg of body weight General training: 0.8-1.5g per kg of body weight Heavy training: 1.2-1.7g per kg of body weight To build muscle: 1.5-1.7g per kg of body weight

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! Today's podcast is an interesting one: the Government VS Kellogg's in a court battle on new legislation for high-sugar cereals.
The government aims to tackle childhood obesity by 2030, and this legislation is one of the ways it hopes to achieve this. Kellogg's behaviour is astonishing and is a blatant act against one of the main societal issues such as obesity. Listen to this episode to hear more.

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! I hope you all have had a wonderful week.
The past three episodes have been all about the science (which I love) but I wanted to catch up with you all this week and have a chat. In this short episode I talk about something very new to me - going without makeup - cold turkey!
I feel that it is a societal expectation to wear makeup, and to be honest, I don't think I would wear makeup if this wasn't the case. I want to challenge this idea within myself and see where it takes me. I want to feel empowered and beautiful in my own skin in all occasions.
Follow along for the journey - I will be sharing updates!
I hope you love this podcast. If so, get in touch:

What If I Told You That Certain Foods Can Help Prevent Chronic Diseases and In Some Cases are More Efficient than The Most Common Pharmaceuticals?
Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi. In this week's episode, we are focusing on increasing food in your diet instead of limiting food to promote wellbeing.
We are told constantly to reduce salt, sugar, and saturated fat and limit/avoid these foods. The human body and mind do not thrive under deprivation and usually, this technique doesn't work for promoting health. I want to encourage you to increase different foods in your diet, before considering taking them away.
What if I told you that food, particularly the foods mentioned in this episode, can help prevent premature death from chronic diseases? What if I presented to you a drug that can prevent the incidence of cardiovascular disease - the leading global killer?
Turns out there are foods that do just that, with only positive side effects. Listen to this podcast to find out what foods have such potent health benefits.
Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! Today I have a very VERY special podcast. One year of Let's Talk Health with Mairi! Fifty episodes! I can't believe it. I wanted to do something special for this podcast. It means a lot to me that I have reached a year and that it has grown exponentially since the start.
Every single one of you who has listened to the podcast is special to me and that is why I wanted to include some of you in this special podcast.
The meaning of health is different for everyone, and I wanted to showcase the beauty of that today. I want you to remember that being "healthy" is by your definition. There is no clinical definition of health and there is a reason for that - health is what you make it, health is how you feel it. I hope you can see that today, from the many people kind enough to share their personal meaning of health.
No matter how many scientific studies there are it will never invalidate your personal opinion of what healthy means to you. I encourage you to find your very own meaning of health and prioritize that forever. Use this podcast for a starting point or refinement of your definition.
I hope you loved this podcast as much as I enjoyed making and listening to it.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the podcast - your contribution means everything.
Special thanks to my brother, Jonathan, for helping me edit!

You don't need to do much to get involved (30 seconds to 2 minutes of your time). Get in touch with me if you would like to get involved (details below).
This week's podcast is a chatty one and catch-up with you guys on life and everything that has been going on! I hope you enjoy the podcast!
Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This week we have another heavily science-based podcast. In this podcast I deep dive into the scientific literature on HIIT VS Steady-State Moderate Intensity exercise so you don't have to. You get nothing but the facts on this podcast!
HIIT (high intensity interval training) is a type of exercise that has gained popularity over the past decade for its health benefits and time efficiency, suggesting we can get the same health benefits from 4-6 minutes over 30 minutes to an hour of exercise! In this podcast we test this theory. Are we wasting our time exercising for an hour each session when we get the same benefits from just 5 minutes? Let's find out.
Share, like and comment - it helps me out so much with the podcast (and it makes me very happy ;)).

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! Hello everyone, it feels like forever since I have sat down and chatted with you all. I hope you have enjoyed the festivities and had an amazing Christmas and New Year!
I am back from my break and feeling better than ever! Today, I am talking about New Year's Resolutions, how to make goals that stick, and how to make 2022 your year. These past couple of years have been hard for everyone. It's time to take life and make it yours today and every day. The new year is a perfect time to start your goals and really make a difference in your life for YOU.
I love this time of year, a fresh start and time to reevaluate your goals and hone in on what you want and what you don't want. On Hogmanay, I brought in the bells sober, with loved ones after a productive day. I prepared for the new year focusing on my goals and reflecting on 2021 with yoga, mediation, journaling, and cleaning!
I hope you get everything and more out of 2022. Let's get you started on the life you love today!

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This week's episode is all about relationships and their many forms.
Relationships are fundamental for our wellbeing and we have so many of them, yet we aren't taught once how to have happy healthy relationships. Family, friends, romantic relationships - we are led by example, and sometimes that example isn't great.
This is just a little chat on my opinion about relationships. I am no expert but I wanted to share my opinion on this. Let me know if you agree!
Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! How are you today? This week's episode is an important one.
Heart disease and cancer are the two leading global killers today. Research indicates that roughly a third of cases of cardiovascular disease and cancer could be prevented if our diets were rich in fruit, vegetables, and fibre. Genetic factors play a small role in chronic disease risk when related to lifestyle factors that account for 80-90% of the risk. You have most of the power to be healthy, happy, and disease-free.
Today's podcast is all about how to PREVENT these diseases before they occur.
Share this with someone you think would benefit from it!

Is our weight genetic? And Is there nothing we can do about it? Let's talk about the science!

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This is a very special episode with a very special guest! My amazing boyfriend, Jacob, has agreed to come on the podcast!
Jacob Portchmouth is a 21 year old business and marketing student from Scotland. He has organised countless endurance challenges to raise money for charity. He has an incredible ability to apply himself to impossible physical challenges in the aid of others. I might be bias but he is a truly wonderful human being. We can all learn a thing or two from him.
This podcast is a great one! Have a chat with us about endurance exercise, motivations for such a cause, raising money for charity, the after affects of the ironman (70.3 mile triathlon) and mental health struggles.
It's not too late to donate to the Samaritans charity (Sunday the 19th is the last day) - https://gofund.me/19a56811
Get in touch with me. I would love to hear from you >>
Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This is episode 30!! I have been doing the podcast for almost 7 months! Can you believe it?!
A little bit of a change of plan for this week's podcast (find out more in the podcast). This week I'll be doing the book review of ''Why We Sleep?" by Matthew Walker. A fascinating and incredibly important book educating us on the importance of sleep. I wanted to get this information out to you and fast as it is vital.
Jacob will be coming on next week to talk about AMFMH and the ironman he completed last Sunday!
If you struggle to sleep or want to learn more about sleep and how to improve it, this podcast is for you! You will be shocked and fascinated by what Walker discusses in this book.
Sleep and most importantly good quality sleep is fundamental for good health and living a long, healthy life.
Link to by this book ( I would highly recommend reading this in full - there is so much amazing facts and discussions in this book.)
The 12 Steps for Healthy Sleep (for your reference - screenshot or copy to help you with your sleep):
1. Stick to a sleep schedule. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day. We have a hard time adjusting to different sleep times and this can impair your sleep.
2. Exercise is amazing but not before bed or late in the day. It is important to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day but no later than 2-3 hours before bed.
3. Avoid caffeine and nicotine. These substances are stimulants and will impair your sleep.
4. Avoid alcohol or drink in moderation and not before bed. This can result in lighter sleep and less REM sleep.
5. Avoid large meals or beverages before bed. This can interfere with sleep and cause frequent waking throughout the night.
6. If possible, avoid medications that delay or disrupt sleep. Speak to your doctor.
7. Don't take naps after 3 pm. Naps are great but not before 3 pm as it may disrupt your sleep later on.
8. Relax before bed.
9. Take a hot bath. This can help reduce your body temperature which is necessary for sleep.
10. Dark bedroom, cool bedroom and a gadget free bedroom.
11. The right sunlight exposure. Daylight is essential to healthy sleep. Get plenty of daylight during the day. When the sun goes down limit light exposure, especially LED powered lights. Listen to podcast for more tips.
12. Don't lie in bed awake.
I discuss these steps in more detail at the end of the podcast.

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This episode is based on the scientific evidence surrounding diets for weight loss. What diet should you chose, If a diet at all?
Most diets that we commonly hear about aren't based on scientific evidence. Most diets are a manipulation of one fact that isn't backed up by any reasonable body of evidence and are mostly derived from books and magazines.
We must stop taking nutrition and weight loss advice from the media and start listening to the evidence from qualified and professional people.
Listen now to hear what the science suggests on diets for weight loss.
I would love to hear from you! How to contact me. >>

Judgement, Jealousy, Comparison and Slowing Down: A Positive Mindset Shift.
Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This episode is inspired by some things I have been working on in my life.
Judgement, jealousy and comparison are ingrained into our societies and almost encouraged. We are so quick to judge people and feel negatively towards situations.
I encourage you to flip these negative emotions on their head and explore why you feel negatively towards people and situations. You never know what you might learn about yourself. I know I have learned so much and totally changed my mindset for the better.
I discuss these emotions and how you can change them and live an enriched, happy and positive life in this week's podcast.
