“15 Dec 2020: I initially wrote the below back in Jun 2019, and I wish Steve would get back to this kind of content. Its really sad to see just how far he's run down the conspiracy theory train while purporting to have a scientific and evidence based approach. I'd really encourage him to step back and spend some time reading studies and evidence that doesn't agree with his world view, rather than interviewing mostly people who do agree with it and reinforcing it. Conformation bias is rampant in today's media driven society and sadly this podcast over the last year or so has become a shining example of it.
I'd encourage him to speak to Ben Coomber again; as a good example of someone who tries to explore the many sides and nuances of health/wellness debate with a rational and evidence based head.

5 Jun 2019: A fun and usually very interesting and indepth look at all things training/mindset. The Thibarmy neurotyping episodes were far and away the best thing I've heard on any training podcast this year. Some of the very recent episodes on carnivore diet are far too pseudo-science based for my liking, or the guests use extremely definitive language without a more reasoned and balanced evidence based discussion, which was a little disappointing. It frame a single view point and poses it as "the facts", rather than simply providing what evidence the interviewee has and also presenting rational counter arguments. Diet in-particular can be a topic riddled with hyperbole, quick fixes and misleading information and often leads to very black and white arguments, when in-fact it is a highly complex topic which is incredibly difficult to run significant and highly rigorous studies on.
I would much prefer diet discussions to show the many varied opinions, perhaps with two guests showcasing different studies/sides of the fence and then allowing people to make their own minds up.
All the training, progressive overload, neurotyping, mind set stuff is absolutely great though, and I love Steve's presenting style. More of this stuff, and especially more of 'not Vin Diesel' would be very welcome. Keep up the good work!”Read full review »

“A refreshingly, common-sense, podcast. Steve has had some great guests and have thoroughly enjoyed these conversations during an increasingly muddled and confusing time”

It is the best one I have heard on this subject and believe me, I’ve listened to a lot
No Covid denial, no conspiracy theory, no fear mongering. Just straight comment and opinion Backed up by science and reason
