Listen and learn

Over the past few months I have discovered podcasts. Of course I have known about them for years but it is only since then that I have found numerous podcasts that enhance my knowledge and feed my passions.

My driving, running and walking time is now far more informative than it used to be. There is such a wealth of great podcasts out there, that whatever your interests there are no doubt numerous podcasts that you would enjoy.

My personal favourites are:

Gretchen Rubin aka Mrs Happiness

The Paleo Solution – Robb Wolf aka Mr Paleo produces this informative podcast about all things paleo. Each episode features a different expert and together they explore, explain and question all aspects of ancestral health. Of course nutrition takes up a great deal of air time, but as well as this sleep, movement, relaxation and supplementation are discussed, along with changes we can make to our homes and lifestyles. Occasionally the science goes quite deep but when it does so Robb is careful to explain it in such a way that those without a particularly scientific background can understand.

Happier with Gretchen Rubin – Rubin is the author of numerous fantastic books on the subjects of happiness and habit forming. This weekly podcast focuses on what we can each do to make it easier to form habits and as a result bring more happiness to our lives. 

Another Round – Two funny women covering a wide range of topics from politics to entertainment, nutrition and more. Well worth a listen.

Yogamazing – I have used this video podcast for years, having first found it when the hubby and I went travelling and I wanted a way to workout wherever I was in the world. Presenter Chaz Rough is not your typical yogi but a regular guy with a passion for yoga and a desire to bring it to the masses. Each episode is designed to help answer a listener question meaning that every class is different and that all abilities are catered to.
