When 'good' podcasts go 'bad'...

โ€ข

I wrote a feature on my Substack last week in response to the BBC investigation, which found that Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast was responsible for 'amplifying harmful health information'. The response to that piece has been huge and I've expanded on my thoughts and feelings here.

    โœ๐Ÿผ Subscribe to The Emma Guns ShowI Canโ€™t Believe Iโ€™m Telling You Thisโ€ฆ | The Emma Guns Show๐Ÿ“ First of all, a huge THANK YOU for all the incredible feedback I received after last weekโ€™s episode. Your emails and messages are so helpful and really do help me create the podcast, so thank you to everyone who took the time. Letโ€™s kick off with an update on my Weight Loss Effort and how it feels now weโ€™re over two and a half months into consistent strength training, high protein/low fat dieting and intermittent fasting.๐ŸŒˆ I have a dirty little secret about how I got my colours done, but Iโ€™m only telling you and Iโ€™m only saying it hereโ€ฆ๐Ÿ“ฐ Finally, Iโ€™ve noticed a shift in tone in the conversation around Ozempic recently. Have you noticed it to? Is it the easy way out and is it a way to lose weight that doesnโ€™t involve consistency, dieting and regular exercise?๐Ÿ‘— In this video I'm wearing:Mango Round-Neck T-Shirt in Brown.*contains affiliate links.๐Ÿ“ง Contact me:office@emmaguns.com๐Ÿ‘“ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: The Emma Guns ShowJournalist, podcaster and content creator specialising in beauty, health and lifestyle who has absolutely no time for woo-woo, nonsense or marketing spin. By Emma GunavardhanaFollow me:๐Ÿ“ฑ https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/

But seeing as someone on social media - faceless account, of course! - has accused me of having a restrictive eating disorder, let's talk about it. For the record, I honestly can't see how making careful and conscious nutrition and training choices to increase muscle mass could be seen as resembling anything close to something restrictive.

    โœ๐Ÿผ Subscribe -- https://www.youtube.com/@TheEmmaGunsShowI've Been Doing It All Wrong | The Emma Guns Show๐Ÿ“ So, this has not been the easy, breezy weight loss plan I thought it was going to be and I'm glad to have been intercepted by Nutrionist and PT Zana Morris who has helped steer me towards actions that will get me the result I'm hoping for. It's not about a 10 lb weight loss, although that's part of it, it's about increasing lean muscle mass and reducing fat and that requires a little tinkering, redirecting and a whole lot more accountability.๐Ÿ“ฐ You can follow Zana Morris on Instagram. ๐Ÿ‘— In this video I'm wearing:With Nothing Underneath Boyfriend Shirt, ยฃ110.*contains affiliate links.๐Ÿ“ง Contact me:office@emmaguns.com๐Ÿ‘“ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:๐Ÿ“ฑ https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/
