You Can't Say That: Recent Episodes
Jo Turek
We dive into the topics that you're thinking but nobody else is saying in the health and fitness industry. Sometimes controversial, it offers an opportunity for listeners to think critically, and opens up a forum for discussion about the things that really need saying!
Welcome back to You Can't Say That, it's been a hot minute!
@sineadmaccana recently completed the very impressive feat of a double marathon (plus some) across Bali overnight. Her first official 10km she had only completed 12 months ago. In this episode, I pick her brains about the journey from non-runner to ultra runner, the challenges, setbacks and all the hard things, the entire journey is freaking inspirational (even if you're not a runner), it will challenge your own mindset about doing the hard thing.

It can get pretty tricky navigating the health and wellness industry. What supplements are 'worth it'? What supplements are a waste of money? And then, what supplements are actually good quality and how can I tell? Should I be taking supplements or am I better off without?
We sit down with Stephen (nutritionist) to discuss all things with some scientific backing. Special thanks to our friends at Tony Sfeirs Designer Physique for fueling this episode.

Joined with guest speaker, Michael from @beyondthebarbellinc to discuss all things raising the stigma against men's mental health. Beyond the Barbell Inc. is all about promoting men to speak up about how their feeling, in a safe space, and promote physical activity as a means to improve mental well-being.
The podcast dives deep into how to have difficult conversations as a coach, personal trainer or friend with someone who may not be doing OK, the power of community-based gyms for cultivating a safe space for sharing & why men seem to suffer more in silence through emotional difficulties compared to women.

Episode 8 - sure to ruffle some feathers... I know what you're thinking, how can you possibly dismiss the importance of warming up before physical activity of any kind? That goes without question. But are you actually getting anything out of your current routine?
Listen in with return special guest and physiotherapist Cory from @thepracticalphysio
I had the pleasure of speaking to Health & performance coach, Olivia Park about all things female training, menstrual cycle loss (hypothalamic amenorrhoea). Olivia shares her own accounts with losing her period through burn out (excessive exercise, limited recovery, not eating enough) and her journey into restoring health and balance. This is not a foreign narrative. So many women continue to sweep this under the rug.
We discuss red flags and steps to recovery. How to break the mold of doing 'more' and actually taking back control of life.

New Years Resolutions set you up for failure and it has nothing to do with your discipline or supposed lack-thereof.
You 100% are going to fare worse off starting that detox this January.
But there is a really simple method to actually get the results you're looking for this year...
I've brought back special guest, strength coach Aleana (@levelupwithaleana) to discuss just why resolutions don't ever work out and how to ACTUALLY be successful in 2021.

I'm flying solo in this episode, and a little timely opportunity to introduce the YCST Bomb drop series. A mini series dedicated to short debates on juicy topics in the health & fitness industry.
Bomb #1 Why 'intuitive eating' has nothing to do with intuition. It's all a false illusion and I'm here to explain why. Listen, and give me your opinion. Do you agree?

If you've ever been struck by the frustrating setback of injury in your sporting field, then you should listen to this podcast. I sit down with physiotherapist, Cory (@thepractialphysio) and discuss how we can continue training around injury and why many times, complete rest could be inhibiting your physical recovery...
We get a physio answer the elusive question "Is CrossFit dangerous and increases your risk of injury?"

Amy (@the_yogashed) shares her very honest story of recovering from disordered eating and all the in-betweens. Movement being both a positive outlet and therapeutic in recovery, but also being the very demise that can quickly spiral into exercise obsession. Amy discusses the power of passive movement and stillness & it's ability to heal.
We navigate how to draw the line and identify obsession, overcoming feelings of 'guilt' or 'weakness' around rest, feeling deflated from injury and what we've done to address this. It's all those things you've been thinking, but nobody else has been saying....

Can you train for aesthetics without getting super caught up about your body image?
Does competing in fitness modelling lead you down a slippery slope to body dysmorphia?
Is your 'dream body' ever going to become a reality?
We touch on all these juicy topics and more. I sit down with personal freedom Coach, Briana Bowley, to discuss some very dark holes in the fitness industry & explore ways that we can improve our relationship with our body and our health goals.
This episode from the You Can't Say That Podcast dives into the transition away from veganism- the moral dilemma, 'coming out', the public backlash and the positive experience of living life aligned to your own belief system.
I sit down with Jason Pizzino, entrepreneur and YouTuber who was vegan for 6 years before he switched.
Whether you're vegan or not, this episode will make you consider whether you're living up to your true values or just following the status quo.

Dieting leads to eating disorders. We cover the dark side of diet culture, restrictive eating, food rules, 'big girl' mentality. Featured in this episode is special guest, women's strength coach, Aleana (@levelupwithaleana) who shares her own struggles with her relationship with food and how she sees similar trends with many of her female clients.
I want to hear from you. Have you had a similar experience with dieting and food?
