Not a Guru

By: Rachel Hunter
  • Summary

  • Click-bait headlines, fitness bros, nutrition zealots and influencers try to get us to buy into every new extreme and make us question everything. Is rice bad for me? Should I be running every day to be healthy? Do I need to worry about protein? What about Keto? Rachel Hunter is an evidence-based nutrition coach tired of the status quo. #Health isn't for people that look, eat, exercise or flex a certain way. It is not just for the beige Instagram biddies. Here to firmly plant herself in the unsexy middle ground of nuance, scientific evidence and coaching experience, Rachel will aim to demystify the world of nutrition and #wellness. No smoke and mirrors, no gimmicks, and definitely no gurus allowed just a coach committed to providing the best practical tips available. Oh, and a juicy dollop of banter to really sweeten the deal.

    Do you need to balance your hormones? How about eating an anti-inflammatory diet for PCOS? Exercise to sync your cycles? As women and femmes, we are wonderfully unique, often overlooked and medically marginalised, but is the advice we need THAT different from the body of evidence that is already out there?

    Are you being empowered as a woman or are you being exploited by people who think that 'niching' down their marketing to women is going to make them lots of money? Women's insecurities shouldn't be a business plan... Tune into this episode with Chloe Stevens to find out...

    In this first instalment of the unhinged health hotline we answered listener questions about body image going into summer. We went through and gave some practical tips and tricks while basing ourselves on the reality that this stuff is not going to change overnight. Remember we can't separate your physical health from your mental health- it's all connected so if that 8-week shred is fcking with your head then maybe its not worth it?

    Want to ponder your values, try this link: https://www.think2perform.com/values/

    In this episode of Not Nutrition Gurus, we delve deep into the often elusive realm of health and fitness goals. While the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goal-setting framework is widely touted, we challenge the notion that it should be your first stop on the journey to success. Instead, we explore the power of values-based goal setting and how it can revolutionise your approach to health and fitness.

    We begin by examining the limitations of SMART goals, emphasising their focus on external metrics rather than internal motivation. While they provide a clear roadmap, they often neglect the why behind our goals, leaving us vulnerable to burnout and lack of fulfilment.

    Next, we introduce the concept of values-based goals, which centre on aligning our actions with our core values. By tapping into what truly matters to us, we cultivate intrinsic motivation that sustains us through setbacks and challenges. We discuss how to identify your values and integrate them into your health and fitness journey, creating a sense of purpose and meaning that transcends mere achievement.

    But how do we bridge the gap between intention and action? We offer practical strategies for translating values into tangible behaviours. From creating rituals and habits to fostering a supportive environment, we empower listeners to take consistent, sustainable steps towards their goals.

    Finally, we address the crucial role of self-compassion and resilience in the pursuit of health and fitness. We debunk the myth of perfection and embrace the messy, imperfect nature of progress. By cultivating kindness towards ourselves, we foster resilience in the face of setbacks, ultimately propelling us towards long-term success.

    Join us as we embark on a journey beyond SMART goals, where values serve as our compass and fulfilment awaits at every milestone. It's time to redefine success in health and fitness and unlock the transformative power of aligning our actions with our deepest values.
