  • # 564 - The incredible effects of CHOCOLATE and TEA on blood pressure
    Mar 16 2026

    Theres an epidemic of high blood pressure globally, currently it affects more than 1 in 3 people. High blood pressure or hypertension is one of the biggest risk factors for heart attacks, stroke, kidney disease and cognitive decline.

    Medications can certainly help but they come with side effects and many would rather not rely on pills if they can avoid them.

    The latest scientific research points to the possibility that nutrition in the form of foods rich in 'Flavan-3-ols', could help in our battle against high blood pressure. In this episode I discuss how this molecule can help reduce high blood pressure and what foods we can find it in.

  • # 563 - WHY is it so hard to lose belly fat ?
    Mar 9 2026

    Why is it so so difficult to get rid of belly fat? In this video we break down the science as to why its so different from fat in other areas of the body and what it really takes to burn it off.

    Once you understand the biology, the psychology and the hormones involved the process of losing bellyfat is alot easier to understand and achieve.

    There are two types of abdominial fat, subcutaneous fat just under your skin , and then theres the visceral fat wrapping around your internal organs, ironically its the visceral fat thats actually easier to burn.

    Did you know that evolution has played a role in your ability to burn fat? Plus theres hormonal resistance, involving cortisol, insulin and leptin, these all play a role in your ability to lose weight. We explore all of this in todays episode.
