  • The One Hour Photo Is Destroying Your Health
    May 2 2024

    The Psychology of Dieting and a Review of the Film 'One Hour Photo.'

    One of the key takeaways from the episode is the complex reality of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

    We discuss how social media can distort our perception of health, promoting unrealistic body standards and overnight transformations that are often not sustainable or healthy.

    We emphasize the need to move away from the allure of quick fixes offered by the fitness industry and toward a measured approach that encourages consistent effort over time.

    Another critical topic we cover is understanding body composition.

    Many of us fall into the trap of rushing through dieting to see quick results, but we highlight that the scale can be misleading. Factors like water retention, menstrual cycles, and muscle gain can affect weight without truly reflecting the changes in our bodies.

    We also debunk the myth that weightlifting will automatically lead to bulky muscles, clarifying that 'toning up' is actually about losing body fat to reveal lean muscle.

    Through personal stories and practical advice, we provide listeners with strategies to navigate the minefield of eating habits, calorie management, and the challenges of maintaining motivation for exercise.

    ALSO...

    Ben's got another vest on.
    We talk about Conor McGregor's greasy neck.
    We discover Fiona's age. SHE OLD!

  • The Matrix Of Supplements (Go Down The Rabbit Hole)
    Apr 2 2024

    What's Chat GPT shat out of his sparkling robotic bumhole this week as we talk all things supplements...

    Caffeine, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Ashwanaganda, Creatine, Fat Burners...The lot!

    Also, just how bad is Keanu Reeves's acting?

    Also, Also...Just how bad is Ben's social credit?

    In the whirlwind of dialogue from the Push Pull Health podcast, we dive genitals-first into a mix of fitness philosophy, cheeky banter, and self-deprecation. Ben and the Irish Cankle navigate topics with the grace of a bull in a china shop, dish out a blend of advice, personal anecdotes, and raw reflections on their journey through the health and fitness industry.

    The duo embarks on a discussion that's as meandering as a drunken sailor's walk home. They touch on the importance of dietary supplements with the enthusiasm of someone who’s just discovered the secret to eternal youth. They debate the merits of vitamin D, protein, and the hedonic treadmill, with the seriousness of philosophers pondering the meaning of life, all while keeping it as light as a feather caught in a hurricane.

    They critique The Matrix and Keanu Reeves’ acting prowess with the finesse of a butcher doing open-heart surgery.

    Through this chaotic ballet of topics, they stumble upon gems of wisdom, like recognising the hedonic treadmill in our lives and the magic of saying “I don’t know” in an age that values false confidence over genuine curiosity.

    Underneath the layers of sarcasm and self-mockery, there's a genuine attempt to push personal health boundaries, embrace a “rotten attitude” toward the conventional fitness narrative, and celebrate the messiness of trying, failing, and trying again. It's a reminder that health isn't just about supplements and workouts; it's about navigating the pulls of life with a push of humour, a dash of humility, and a willingness to eat cake on the journey.

  • The Collateral Damage of Shift Working
    Mar 18 2024

    Are you a shift worker?
    Have you seen the film Collateral?
    We have this and so much more.

    See below for Chat GPT pulling a slightly dodgy episode summary out of its robotic anus again.

    You might as well watch the whole episode.

    Just in case.

    Well, 20 minutes of it, as the camera stops recording due to lack of memory.

    But...

    Ben has a surprise for you...

    Robot Anus Episode Summary:

    Have you ever wondered how the night shift warriors win their battles with sleep, diet, and exercise? Tag along with Robot Ben, Human Ben, and Fiona, aka the human cankle, as we arm you with an arsenal of health strategies, from managing meal prep and caffeine to incorporating exercise into the graveyard shift. We'll even tell you the secret to spreading butter on your post-shift toast—because the little victories count when the sun goes down and your shift begins.

    But our night shift chatter isn't all we have up our sleeves – dive into the suspenseful streets of "Collateral" with a scene-by-scene breakdown that's as much a film critique as a laugh-out-loud journey through our cinematic insights. From foxy moves by Jamie Foxx to Tom Cruise's stumble into authenticity, we're peeling back the curtain on the movie magic and how it plays into our nocturnal narratives. And if true crime is more your style, Fiona's got a twisted tale that promises more turns than a midnight shift.

    Finally, we're not just about the talk – we're about the action, too.

    Discover Push Pull Health, our new community haven for exchanging fitness triumphs and cake-fueled chats. So whether you're struggling to sync your sleep with the moon or just looking for a good story, we've got your back. Tune in, get a health kick with a side of movie trivia, and maybe even find your new night owl tribe.
