SSS2 Episode 9 - Weight loss pills, shakes, surgery and commercial programs.
Soothing Science
This is the final episode of SSS2, and has a recap of what we've covered. I also look at the evidence for success for the various medical and commercial interventions for weight loss. We note how surgery has certainly a good success rate amongst the more severely obese, and that this fact is a bit confronting for a behaviouralist like me.

SSS2 Episode 8- serving size, calories and fasting overnight.
Soothing Science
This episode explores the myth of calories- how a perfectly respectable unit of energy has become a tool of the food industry to nudge you towards unhealthy foods. We also look at how portion size has increased over the years, and why this has occurred. And if you have ever been camping without a torch, you will know exactly why an overnight fast makes a lot of sense and may help you to be healthier.

SSS2 episode 7 - Emotional eating, plant protein and the myth of variety.
Soothing Science
Have you ever thought that you were full until someone offered you some chocolate or icecream?..."Of course I'm not full", you said, "I have a separate stomach for dessert!". Well, turns out this is partially true - this episode talks about sensory specific satiety - our tendency to be able to eat more if there is a variety of food on offer.

SSS2 Episode 6 -the myth of moderation and toxic sugar.
Soothing Science
Back to nutrition and weight loss thankfully - coronavirus is on the backburner for the moment.

SSS2 ep5 - Corona Virus - avoiding the ventilator.
Soothing Science
This episode looks at simple, home based interventions that might help you avoid severe illness if and when you contract the corona virus. Science based, although as yet not investigated with trials, they are easy and relatively harmless, so I am certainly giving them a go. The common thread is that they influence the immune system, and will make you healthier and happier in general, even if you dont get Corona. For more info have a look at the Soothing Science website.

SSS2 Ep 4 - Corona- social distancing
Soothing Science
Sigh, another corona virus podcast forced upon us. No one wants it but we just have to deal with it. In this episode, dealing with fear and anxiety ( and lets face it if you're not anxious you're not doing it right) and then my take on social distancing. The good news is you already know how to deal routinely with dangerous uncontrollable situations - you call it driving - and we can apply the same thoughts to living with Corona.
info_outlineSoothing Science Season 2 - SSS2 is a series of podcasts about nutrition, health and losing weight.
**Fixed on 29/11 - if you downloaded the botched recording I put up first it has been replaced***
Each episode will include some science, some psychology of weight loss and look at some of the myths that trap us in unhealthy lifestyles.
This first episode looks at why the science of nutrition is inherently dodgy, the myth of exercise, and the setting of goals - and why we should never make our goal something a dead person can achieve. This is based on the work of Dr Russ Harris - acceptance and commitment therapy.
