Hey everyone, Ben Kumba Radio, how on earth are you doing? I'm excited to get into today's

topic and to join me is Tom, big tea.

How are you doing Ben?

No long intro today.

We're getting straight back into it.

Me and Tom feel busy.

There's lots going on.

We've just started our year-long nutrition course,

the BTN Practical practical academy so we're all

hustling and getting things done but there's an interesting conversation that's

kind of broadened on social media and the beauty of podcasting is you get an opportunity to add the right levels of context to have a longer conversation to delve into all the different areas and that's often one of my

frustrations with social media and the learning behind social media is that you

know you never really get into a topic and I think that's where

podcasts have really come alive that's where pop you know podcasts and in popularity

is dramatically risen so the topic today is kind of aging and fat loss and all the things that affect it.

Now I put out a video online that talked about, you know, people blame their age for putting on weight.

Like, oh, it's harder because I've gotten older and I challenge that perspective and said,

look, is it directly because of age, or is it how you now behave because of how you've aged?

Now obviously there's lots of different components here and there's also a scientific aspect. have to lean on what is shown in the research.

And then following off the back of that kind of video, a lot of people kind of start to get what I was saying and then there was this hormone thing that was thrown in the mixed and mainly from a female perspective like yeah well what about the menopause like the female body changes and I'm like well okay is it because of

hormones or is it because of how the hormones make us behave so I thought it was a great

topic to delve into on the podcast.
