In todays episode we talk about what could make all the difference coming into the final weekend of matches in the EFL Championship....... who will prepare their players to handle the pressure and stress the best?
We tend to think of stress and pressure as a bad thing, however, research shows that without stress we're unlikely to ever reach our best performance.
So if we ned stress, it comes down to who can prepare the players the best to handle the upcoming pressure and stress. Can they help the players perception be one of excitement and optimism, rather than focusing on the potentially serious consequences of a poor outcome.

This episode was inspired by the recent interview with Raphael Varane opening up about playing with a concussion twice in his professional career and his concern that he has damaged his body by heading a football which can potentially cause repetitive low grade head traumas.
He spoke of his concern that even though he played well against Germany in the 2014 World Cup, what would have happened if he'd received another head trauma and developed 'Second Impact Syndrome'?
I still feel head injuries are not taken seriously enough certainly in amateur sport where head injury checks appear to be non-existent..... but are we even doing them well enough at the sharp end of the game?
Compared to rugby and the NFL, in my opinion, football still has improvements to make. Assessing a player on pitch side with the noise of the crowd and the distraction of the ongoing match is not the ideal environment for a clinical assessment to rule out concussion.
The player is desperate to get back on the pitch to help his team mates, and the manager or head coach doesn't want to lose the game, and potentially his job!
It's time to introduce temporary concussion substitutes into football just like in rugby so that a team is not disadvantaged for taking player welfare seriously. Take the pressure off the player, put the coach at ease, take the time element out of the equation and carry out a head injury assessment in a calm and quiet clinical setting.
We must minimise the risk of these head injuries going undetected and accumulating through a persons life and career. Steve Thompson, who played Hooker for England's World Cup winning team in 2003 can't even remember taking part in that tournament due to early onset dementia. He's only 45 years old, and now wishes that he'd never played rugby.
It's a sad story and one that we all need to take very seriously at all levels of sport.

Some Favourite Chocolate Options
Alter Eco - 85% Dark ChocolateLindt - 85% Dark ChocolateMontezuma's - 74% Dark Chocolate Giant ButtonsTAZA - 70% Dark Chocolate Cookie Crunch - Not tried this one yet but heard good reviews.Nibble - 81% Dark Chocolate Chips - 1kg bag - For Snacking, Melt Into Moulds And Make Your Own Bars.
Today, we're embarking on a tasty journey to explore chocolate, a food that's often misunderstood. Despite its indulgent reputation, chocolate hides a trove of health benefits – yes, you heard that right! But as with everything, the devil's in the details, or in this case, the type of chocolate you choose.Chocolate's Bad Rap vs. Hidden Health Benefits
While chocolate has been sidelined in the health world, research suggests it can actually rival many superfoods in terms of nutrients. Surprised? Let's delve into why not all chocolates are created equal and how making the right choice can boost your health.Healthy vs. Unhealthy Chocolate Bars
An interesting piece from 'Good To Know' ranks chocolate bars by their healthiness based on calorie and fat content. But there's more to chocolate than just calories and fat – it's about what kind of nutritional content it contains, and let's not forget the sugar!The Chocolate Spectrum: White, Milk, Dark
When we talk about chocolate, we're generally referring to three types: white, milk, and dark. For those health-conscious among us, dark chocolate often leads the pack due to its higher cacao content and lower sugar levels. Yet, not all dark chocolates are made equal.Your Chocolate Shopping Checklist
Ready to shop smarter? Look for dark chocolate with high cacao content (over 70%), low sugar, and minimal additives. And remember, "processed with alkali" is a no-go if you're chasing the health benefits.The Power of Cocoa
Cocoa isn't just delicious; it's packed with flavanols that offer a host of health benefits, from improving blood flow to reducing the risk of disease. Interestingly, cocoa tops the charts in antioxidant activity, even more than many super fruit powders!Practical Tips for Chocolate Lovers
Transitioning to healthier chocolate choices might take some taste bud training, especially if you're venturing into the 70% cacao and beyond territory. But trust me, it's an adventure worth embarking on for both your palate and your health.Conclusion
So there you have it, chocolate lovers – a guide to enjoying your favorite treat in a way that's both pleasurable and beneficial to your health. Remember, it's all about making informed choices and finding that sweet spot in your diet where taste meets health.Useful Links

In this episode we get the opportunity to talk with Olympic Tae Kwon Do Technical Director Dave Cook about the complicated subject of decision making.
We didn't have a script of an agenda, we wanted to let the conversation go wherever it took us.... and I must admit I was surprised how broad we went, and how complicated and difficult it is to judge 'Was that a good or bad decision?'.
In a perfect world we'd judge decision making not on the outcome but on the information available to the person at that split second. Of course, this is almost impossible to do, and just like Schrodinger's Cat the decision can be both good and bad at the same time until we attribute an outcome to it.
It could be that the person makes an excellent decision, but something out of their control leads to a failed attempt of poor outcome..... they might be criticised as a result, however, the truth is if they made that decision 100 times it may prove successful 85% of the time. Therefore, the decision was good regardless of the outcome.
It was another fascinating conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

In this episode I have the pleasure of talking once again to my friend Lindsay Ross about his experience with forming the consistent daily habit of writing at least three A4 pages first thing every morning.
The method is based upon the work of the Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Jung who recommended the practice to help clear the 'emotional and mental debris' from the pre-frontal cortex before starting your day.
The transformation Lindsay has experienced is nothing short of remarkable, yet it is the result of a relatively low cost, low effort, low time intensive habit that most of us will overlook in favour of a new fad, gadget or high intensity gym workout.
Things We Talk About Include;
What Type of Journal Should You Buy?What Should You Write?What Are The Benefits Of Daily Journalling?How The Shape and Feel Of The Page Shows Our EmotionsHow Can We Make Time To Do It?If you'd like to make journalling a more consistent part of your life feel free to get in contact with us and we can help you get started.
We're here to help in any way we can.

In this episode we discuss the recent elevation in status of the Physician Associate. In order to relieve some of the burden on medical centres rather than recruit GP's...... which is not always an easy task in fairness.... the NHS is commited to hiring 10,000 Physician Associates by 2036.
But what exactly is a Physician Associate?
Are They trained to the same level as a doctor?
I'll Know If I've seen one though right?
Is this safe?
This is a really interesting subject and one that no doubt we'll revisit over time as the Physician Associate role develops.

My Blood Glucose Results
Today we're talking about something that affects each and every one of us: our blood glucose levels.
Now, you might be thinking, "Blood glucose? Isn't that just a concern for people with diabetes?" But here's the thing: Monitoring your blood glucose is crucial for everyone. It's actually one of the highest risk factors for a number of health issues. And guess what? The food you eat impacts your blood glucose levels, and it affects everyone differently.
So, let's dive right in. First off, why is blood glucose so important? Well, consistently high blood glucose levels can lead to serious health problems, and we’re not just talking diabetes here, it includes heart disease, kidney failure, and even blindness. It's not just a minor issue; it's a major risk factor for a host of complications.
But here's where it gets interesting – and a bit complicated. The way our bodies react to different foods can vary wildly.
Research has shown that while one person may get a fast blood glucose increase (or a spike) from eating a bowl of ice cream, this doesn’t happen to everyone……
That means the same food that spikes one person's blood sugar might not have the same effect on someone else. It's a real eye-opener and a big reason why a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition just doesn't work.
Therefore, when a client has a conversation about nutrition, and they ask for my personal opinion on which foods they should eat…… how can I honestly answer that with any real insight?
The first step, in my opinion, is to understand how the foods we eat regularly affect our blood glucose levels.
And it amazes me that so many of my clients who have been diagnosed as having Type II diabetes, or have pre-diabetes, are not advised to check their blood glucose levels AT ALL!! They’re on medication to ‘control it’ but never measure their blood glucose levels…..
The saying ‘What we measure, we can manage’ has never been more applicable here.
Type II diabetes is for the vast majority of us, a lifestyle disease, which means that our lifestyle… the things we consistently do day in and day out have caused this to happen. So giving us medication, and providing no advice on how we can change our lifestyle for the better sounds like a backwards way of dealing with it.
Now this is where we come up against the first problem….. passive sick care versus active healthcare…
If you’re not willing to accept that what you’re doing day in day out is harming your health, and that in order to change that you’re going to have to change something and put some effort in to forming new habits…
The sort of person who says things like;
‘Well, what should I expect at my age…’
And they’re just turning 60!! Personally, I expect to be running around and keeping up with those in their 40’s!
Time will only work against us if consistently make decisions that harm our health.
Anyone noticed what happens when you go to the gym consistently for a few months? You start to notice improvements right?
Well, if you can start to get a hold on what foods are causing your blood glucose levels to spike, then you can start to manage your type II diabetes better….. and in a lot of cases I’ve heard of people reversing it entirely!
Through LIFESTYLE CHANGES……. They reversed a lifestyle disease…… see how much sense that makes?!
Well my philosophy is before you start changing things you need to know where you are right now.
That way you can measure the changes… positive or negative that have been...

In this eye-opening episode of the Health and Sport Show, we dive deep into the murky waters of the Body Mass Index (BMI) test's history. From its conception by a Belgian mathematician to its widespread use as a health marker today, we unravel the complex story behind BMI. Prepare to be both enlightened and alarmed as we explore the founders' backgrounds, the test's racist and exclusionary past, and the questionable methods of its application.
What You'll Learn:
The Origins of BMI: Discover how what began as a simple statistical tool by Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet has evolved into a global health standard.Questionable Foundations: We delve into the problematic origins of BMI, examining how data from a narrow demographic of Scottish and French males in the late 1800s became the basis for today's health assessments.Racial and Gender Bias: Uncover how the BMI fails to account for racial, ethnic, and gender diversity, leading to misleading health advice and discrimination.Modern Misapplications: Despite its limitations, BMI continues to be used as a definitive marker of health. We discuss the implications of this reliance and the push for alternative measures.Featured Segments:
Behind the Numbers: A closer look at Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet and his motivations for creating the Quetelet Index, which later became known as BMI.Historical Context: Understanding the socio-political climate of the late 1800s and how it influenced the collection and interpretation of data.Conclusion:
As we wrap up this episode, it's clear that the story of BMI is more than just numbers on a scale—it's a cautionary tale of how science and society intersect, often in flawed and harmful ways. Join us as we continue to question and challenge the status quo, advocating for a health assessment approach that respects and reflects the diversity of the human experience.
Call to Action:
If this episode opened your eyes to the complexities of BMI and health assessment, share your thoughts with us on social media or email. Let's keep the conversation going and work together towards a more inclusive understanding of health.
