In this week's episode, I share the amazing, inspirational story of fitness expert, Fitz Koehler. Fitz shares her story of how she overcame breast cancer, including the story of how she successfully got through 15-months of torturous treatment with the aid of exercise, nutrition, a positive mindset, a great outlook on life and seeking joy. We also had an interesting debate over red meat and whether the science supports the claim that red meat consumption causes cancer. Suffice to say, we respectfully agreed to disagree like adults on that subject. After the interview, Fitz kindly sent me a link to the science that suggests that red meat increases the risk of colon cancer by 28%. I have included the link in the show notes. I have also included a link to a critique by Dr Paul Saladino of the research that makes those claims. I would never suggest you believe anything I or my guests say, but would always suggest you do your own research and come to your own conclusions. The links provided are good place to begin research into that subject, should you wish to do so. I really hope you enjoy this episode and take inspiration from it.

In this episode, I spoke with my good friend and colleague, Matt Wallden, the Head of CHEK Institute Faculty about hamstrings strains. Matt completed a thesis on hamstring strains in elite football players as part of his Master's degree in Osteopathy over 20 years ago and consulted with elite sports teams, such as Chelsea FC and Wasps RUFC, as well as elite British sprinters. So who better to discuss the how's, what's, and why's of hamstring strains, how to prevent them and how to rehabilitate from them than Matt?
