Ever wondered why stress makes you feel a certain way or why some emotions dominate your daily grind?

Join us on the Push Pull Health podcast as we dive into the fascinating relationship between the brain and your emotions!
We'll explore how your brain works and how well it was depicted in our half-baked review of Inside Out, covering the stresses of life like money, food, and more.
Expect to be entertained with fun brain facts, including the incredible speed of neurotransmitters & how the central nervous system plays a crucial role in our mental and emotional health.
Curious about what keeps you motivated?

We unpack dopamine and its essential role in goal-oriented behaviour. By breaking down complex brain mechanisms into engaging, accessible conversations, we reveal how dopamine drives motivation and its connection to conditions like Parkinson's and ADHD. The hypothalamus makes a special appearance, influencing hormone regulation while we keep things clear and concise.

Ready to rethink dopamine?

We dispel common myths and clarify the distinction between serotonin and oxytocin. Plus, we introduce the intriguing concept of the Chimp Paradox, helping you manage emotions by distinguishing between rational and emotional responses. Explore the evolutionary mismatch affecting our health today, the modern inconveniences contributing to an obesogenic environment, and the challenges of social media and vape pens.

Parenting in the Modern Era:

We reflect on parenting and the balancing act of exposing children to life's realities. Get ready for an episode that blends science, humour, and practical insights to help you understand your brain better.

With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben every week to forcefully "Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life."
Expect Foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life's daily rot.
This weekly audio & video expansion on the world-famous 'The Daily (ish) Rot' email and video ramblings also includes:
Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet Advice.
Half-arsed film reviews.
The exploitation of children.
True Crime recommendations.
Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes (short and to the point)
Narcissistic wisdom.

WHO THE FU*K ARE WE?
Howdy,
I'm Ben, the only 'health' coach (not a life coach) who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude towards exercise and nutrition!
Empowering You to give the middle finger to your yo-yo diet and half-arsed exercise routine in JUST 30 Days!
Are you sick of yo-yo-ing from one restrictive diet and hideous exercise plan to the next, begging for it to end so you can slip back into old habits, only to start the same rotten cycle again?
