2026/02/27
Have a comment? I'd love to hear from you! S.4 Ep.12 - NOT DONE YET! Inspiring new Book by Mona Smith, Author & Powerlifter Today I interviewed Mona Smith about her new book "NOT DONE YET!" This tells the story of her life from a tragic life-changing injury as a child to competitive powerlifter, using strength training to get there. Full of inspiring stories, and her take on training, nutrition and her to approach tackling life head on, not give in to age and time. Ageing is inevitable. Being frail is not. Amen to that!  Follow her in instagram at:  https://www.instagram.com/strongandfitat50?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Book available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0G4WT5WTM?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_X3S2HF5NAN3XMHPNT6H8&bestFormat=true Read more about it here:  If you’ve ever looked at your changing midlife body and wondered when did this happen? — this book is for you. Not Done Yet! is a straight-talking, motivating and deeply relatable guide for women who want to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. No jargon. No judgment. No “just do more cardio”. This is real information, real science and real stories from real women. You’ll learn why strength training is one of the most powerful tools you have to protect your long-term health — from bone density and muscle loss to weight gain, menopause symptoms, cardiovascular health, diabetes risk, cognitive decline and general “I don’t feel like myself anymore” fatigue. And you’ll understand what’s happening inside your body, why it’s happening, and what you can do about it — starting today. This isn’t a book about chasing perfection. It’s a book about taking control. Alongside the science, you’ll meet women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s who thought they were “too old”, “too unfit” or “too far gone” — until they weren’t. Their stories are honest, funny, sometimes emotional and always inspiring. They show exactly what’s possible when you stop believing you’ve missed your chance. Inside, you’ll find: • the truth about menopause, muscle loss, weight gain and why none of this is your fault • how strength training protects your bones, joints, brain, heart and mental health • practical, usable guidance on nutrition, protein, carbs, fats, supplements and hydration • simple steps to get started — even if you’ve never set foot in a gym • confidence checklists, tips for choosing a trainer and finding a gym where you actually belong • powerful first-person stories that will stay with you long after you finish the book If you want to live longer and live better… if you want to stay independent, strong and capable… if you want to feel proud of what your body can do… this book will show you exactly how to get there. Perfect for yourself — or for any woman you care about who deserves to feel stronger, healthier and more hopeful about her future. Because ageing is inevitable. Being frail is not.

S.4 Ep.9 - THE GOOD & BAD OF OZEMPIC, MOUNJARO & WEGOVY & The Wonders of CREATINE
2025/06/21
Have a comment? I'd love to hear from you! THE MATURE MUSCLE PODCAST - Season 4 / Episode 9: OZEMPIC, MOUNJARO & WEGOVY (SEMAGLUTIDE & TIRZEPATIDE) PLUS THE “NEW” WONDERS OF CREATINE MONOHYDRATE Today we had a chat about the huge increase in people using Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic . They all injectable medications that contain a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. This type of medication can treat obesity and manage blood sugar levels. Mounjaro is also a dual agonist, which means it mimics another hormone as well as GLP-1, this other hormone is GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). Mounjaro and Wegovy are injections that mimic hormones which send signals to the parts of your brain responsible for appetite and hunger. Wegovy and Mounjaro can help you feel fuller for longer and slow the emptying of your stomach, Mounjaro’s GIP in addition to this helps with weight management by preventing fat from building up. Ozempic, containing GLP-1 has been clinically approved to treat diabetes and helps to regulate blood sugar. Creatine monohydrate is one of the most well-researched and effective supplements out there. It’s best known for helping people build strength, muscle, and recover faster from exercise. Recent research also shows it can be helpful as we age—especially when combined with strength training—by supporting muscle and bone health. It may also give the brain a small boost, improving memory and mental sharpness in some people, especially older adults. New studies suggest it could help the heart and blood vessels, and even support mood and mental health, though more research is needed in those areas. Overall, it’s a safe and affordable supplement with a wide range of benefits beyond just gym performance. I hope you find this useful and enjoyed the podcast.

S.4 Ep.6 - "NEW YEAR, NEW ME" & Other Bullsh*t! Introducing New Co-host Aaron
2025/02/01
Have a comment? I'd love to hear from you! Welcome to the first episode of 2025. Apologies for the delay since Ep.5. I was in Nepal climbing mountains over November and December...  In this episode, I welcome Aaron Hopkins, sucessful PT and gym owner. I interviewed him a few months ago and we had a great laugh and were very much of the same mind when discussing all things health/fitness. He will be joining me as co-host, so i'm really looking forward to recording with him. Find out more about Aaron here: https://www.pt-u.co.uk/ Amongst other things, we discussed: New Year New Me! (yawn!)  Setting 2025 Health Goals: Discussing how to set realistic and achievable health goals for the new year. Fads like Dry January etc - more harm than Good? People starting new habits : Nutrition Trends: Exploring emerging nutrition trends for 2025, such as plant-based diets, intermittent fasting, or personalised nutrition plans. Effective Workout Routines: Highlighting new and effective workout routines or exercises for different fitness levels and goals. Doing too much, at one time: Motivation and Accountability: Strategies for staying motivated and accountable throughout the year.  Tech and Fitness: Discussing the role of technology and apps in monitoring fitness progress and enhancing workouts. Big business, but data for data’s sake? Watches, rings, apps, HRV useful: Over Christmas, we had a great question from a listener, we discussed this too: "Sleep/nutrition/rest are critically important, especially when compared to our younger days. So my question for the podcast is this: Because there are now more mature people training harder than ever before, are we entering uncharted territority in terms of our awareness of training/recovery for middle -aged athletes? Sure, there have been a small number of older athletes for a long time, but I suspect there have never before been so many middle-aged, 'normal' folk who are continuing to train hard alongside their daily lives. Is the coaching/nutrition industry up to speed on this? Is it even being recognised, let alone being catered for?" I hope you find this useful and enjoyed the podcast.

S.4 Ep.4 - Extreme Eating Part 1: The Carnivore Diet, with Mark Bennett
2024/08/16
Have a comment? I'd love to hear from you! S.4 Sp.4 - Extreme Eating Part 1: The Carnivore Diet, with Nutritional Therapist Mark Bennett. This week I spoke to Nutritional Therapist Mark Bennett. We spoke about extreme diets, specifically about the carnivore approach which is animal only products. We discussed its effectiveness, safety and how to implement and follow it properly. We also spoke about what happens in the body while its being followed. Mark has been on MM before, we spoke previously about Sugar, Sweeteners and Metabolic Damage (S.3 / Ep.18). We had a great chat then, and he agreed to come back on to discuss this topic with me. I’m very interested in nutrition generally, but especially in the extremes - from pure meat, to no meat - so I’ll be covering the vegan approach too. The carnivore diet is a restrictive eating plan that involves consuming only animal products, such as meat, fish, and animal-derived foods like eggs and certain dairy products. It excludes all plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. The rationale behind this diet is that humans evolved primarily as meat-eaters and that consuming animal products exclusively can provide all essential nutrients. Proponents of the carnivore diet claim various health benefits, including weight loss, improved mental clarity, and relief from autoimmune conditions. However, the scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited and mostly anecdotal. Nutritionally, the carnivore diet can provide adequate protein and fats, including essential fatty acids and amino acids. However, there are concerns about potential nutrient deficiencies, such as vitamin C, fiber, and certain phytonutrients found in plant foods. Additionally, long-term adherence to the diet raises concerns about cardiovascular health due to high saturated fat intake and the potential impact on gut microbiota due to the lack of dietary fiber. Research on the carnivore diet is still in its early stages, and more studies are needed to fully understand its health impacts and sustainability. Mark Bennett Nutritional Therapist BSc (Hons) BA (Hons) mBANT CNHC Certified Gluten Practitioner Nutrigenetic Counsellor Mark is a functionally trained and qualified Nutritional Therapist, having achieved a first class honours nutritional therapy science degree. Functional medicine looks at the body as a whole and is focussed on identifying the causes of chronic disease rather than symptomatic relief. By intelligently identifying the root cause of symptoms and disease, targeted and individually tailored dietary and lifestyle interventions can be recommended to help the client achieve their health goals. Mark is a member of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT), the Complementary and Natural Health Care Council (CNHC), as well as being a registered Certified Gluten Practitioner and Nutrigenetic Counsellor. Mark runs a private clinic near Reading in Berkshire. Areas of specialism are cancer support, autoimmunity, chronic fatigue/ME and dementia.

S.4 Ep.1 - The Science of Pain & Pushing Through the Pain Barrier, with Dr Richard Harrison
2024/02/28
Have a comment? I'd love to hear from you! S.4 Ep.1 - The Science of Pain & Pushing Through the Pain Barrier Welcome to a new season, looking forward to some great new guests and also getting some previous guests back on. Today i'm speaking to Dr Richard Harrison, he is a pain researcher employed at the University of Reading and affiliated with the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences (SPCLS) and Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN). His research focuses predominately on pain, examining psychological processes underlying how pain is processed, as well as individual differences in the ability to modulate (or control) the experience of pain. As pain is a multi-faceted phenomenon, involving sensory, emotional, cognitive and affective dimensions, his research covers a wide breadth in an attempt to understand such a complex topic. Richard is a firm believer in the utility of inter-disciplinary research, especially when studying pain. Working together with colleagues across an array of skill sets helps improve the relevance and scope of his work, as well as reducing the risk of researching within an “echo chamber”.  http://www.richaharrison.com/ Today we discuss: What pain is, and why it is such a multi-faceted phenomenon He explained what means by pain being either a body- or mind-state Why do some people feel pain so much more acutely than others How can athletes can push themselves through what many mere “mortals” can’t Which type of athletes can handle more than others.
