RED-S or RELATIVE ENERGY DEFICIENCY IN SPORT

Just a great Podcast to listen from Physio Matters.

Really highlighting that you need to have sufficient calories or energy to meet the demand of high level activities or sports. If you do not get enough, any number of problems can start. A must listen session regarding an important issue with take home messages much more wide reaching than just for this condition and some real clinical pearls from the outset. Therapists, coaches and managers must be more aware of this!

Low carb vs low fat for Type II diabetes

Have a listen to this two-part podcast that talks about the research into low carbohydrate and low fat diets in the management of type II diabetes. In part 2 of the podcast, it discusses more on nutritional advice for the management of type II diabetes.

How a read and empower yourself with the knowledge it gives you to either help yourself to offer advice to someone in need.

Diabetes can be utterly destructive and many just think taking pills that a doctor gives you will sort the problem. It does not!! It only treats the symptoms and does nothing to sort out the disease.

Some of the management of this massively difficult problem is about the need to change and adapt dietary choices, but it is also important to make good lifestyle choices such as taking regular exercise, improving the amount and quality of sleep you get and managing one’s level of stress.
