Diet. Who to believe? So many experts. So many claims. So much contradiction. So many agendas. So many pills, powders, potions, programs, and products. In this episode, Nutritionist Perry Venakis and I do our best to sort through some of the myths, madness, and mysteries of food.

This is a departure from the normal TYP fare, with zero personal development, self-help or human behaviour discussion. As the title suggests, Tiff and I explore the practical process of setting up a podcast for the purpose of sharing one's thoughts, passions and genius with the world. I've been asked hundreds of times for advice about creating a show, so from now on I'll simply direct those enquirers to this chat. Enjoy.

Some people do well with traditional meditation. I don't. I love it as an idea (and have recommended it) but for me, I find working out, nature and music to be much more calming, aligning and meditative. For some people it's a very effective tool in the old mind-management toolkit but not for me. Some people get great results by sitting down with a professional and talking about their problems but I don't. I like to work through things myself. I don't pretend there's not an issue or problem but for me, talking about the problem is (typically) not helpful. And it's not that I'm against meditation or therapy (of course), it's just different things work for different people. Not good or bad, right or wrong, just different. This is a chat with Dr. Lillian Nejad about all of that.

Brad Cunningham from the Fit Shop is back on deck and this time we talk about staying (or getting) functional, strong and healthy as we head into our 'mature' years. Part of my health mission is to encourage and support people in improving their strength, fitness and physical performance (capacity) at an age when some 'experts' would advise anyone over fifty to "go gently and age gracefully" (whatever TF that means). Personally, I'm more a fan of the disgraceful approach to aging.

Every so often, I hand over the question-asking responsibilities to my listeners and what transpired this time was some interesting (and diverse) topics and questions. I'll let you decide whether or not it is an interesting listening experience but nonetheless, I enjoyed it. *I'll remind you (as I always do) that this episode is not individual advice, direction, or prescription but rather, me sharing my thoughts, ideas and perspectives. If you need specific health advice (mental, physical and/or medical), see a relevant professional.
