diet fads

On this episode of Real Talks on the Rocks, I sit down with Joseph G. Ilustrisimo, who is a personal trainer that focuses on the entire spectrum of wellness (from mindset to movement to medicine). Joseph spends time talking about his experience on an Australian game show, how he motivates his clients to achieve their health goals and his motivation to raise money for the typhoon disaster that recently occurred in the Phillippines. You can find him training at DIAKADI San Francisco

This week we discuss how our body image differs from when we first became conscious of our bodies to now after rigorous self help. If you or a loved one are struggling with any eating disorders or body dysmorphia, there is help and resources available. Please visit https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/help-support/contact-helpline 

This week we're worrying about diet. Do we care what we eat? Nutrition v's taste? and do we enjoy a good dieting fad?

Come explore with us...

Hiya pals, welcome back to The Plus Side Podcast! *jazz hands*

This weeks episode with feel-good powerhouse Sam Mason covers an area I think we can all relate to, at least on some level. Sam is a mum of 2, a highly demanded hairstylist and a social media strategist who has worked on a number of campaigns relating to a topic very close to her own heart: body neutrality. From a young age Sam's body has been insensitively open for discussion - and it's only from piecing together the lovely parts of her that make Sam Sam, that she has realised what matters in life. And let me tell you, it's got absolutely fuck all to do with your dress size.

As we delve in to the dark side of diet culture and dismantle the dangerous ways it can trap us in to it's cave of calorie counting and body shaming, we also get on to some great positives; like how going through the vicious cycle has led us to a place of embracing our own individuality... and finding a bloody beautiful sense of confidence in that.

So plug in your headphones, get out for a walk (or, you know, stay on the sofa with a mince pie) and enjoy your listen. As we head in to the festive season, it might be just what you need to hear...

In a time when we need a laugh or positive thought more than ever, The Plus Side Podcast is here to offer exactly that.

From dealing with mental health and anxiety - to overcoming the mythical hurdles put in our way by diet culture and learning to love food again.

From the joys of socially distanced dates and the unlikely romance behind online relationships, to taking on the ever-growing list of expectations we are have been prescribed to - The Plus Side Podcast is here to give you the reassurance that amongst the weight of it all, there is always a 'plus side' to be found... Even if it's well hidden.

If this sounds like something you're in to - feel free to subscribe and I look forward to sharing the upcoming episodes with you!

Diets are like clothing fashion trends: they come into and out of style. And if you wait long enough: back into style again. One of my favourite pop culture research tools is Google Trends. Google Trends keeps a global finger on the pulse of what’s hot and what’s not in the world of nutrition and diets. And tracks this over time based on the popularity of search terms. Now a research team has mined this wealth of data to produce a snapshot of the ever-changing diet trends with some surprising results.
