Oisin is a fat loss coach who runs the Mulligainz Method. 

His Instagram and TikTok both have over half a million followers. 

On his channels he shares simple and practical tips on fat loss and healthy living. 

He has also been featured in mainstream media for his viral content on eating McDonalds every day and still losing weight. This wasn’t to promote fast food; but to highlight the role that a calorie deficit plays when pure weight loss is the goal. 

Oisin has a very engaging personal story and is an incredibly self-aware individual. This was an extremely enjoyable conversation that spans across a whole host of different topics. 

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show: 

• His own personal weight loss journey and going from 130kg to a lean, healthy and happy weight. 
• His mental health issues, the importance of having good people around you and how he manages it now
• How the bully from childhood can form the bully in your head if you don’t change your self talk
• The biggest weight loss negative behaviours people need to avoid
• And much more.

Dr. Grayson is a behavior change communications consultant who teaches about Public Health Communications in the Master of Public Health Program in the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont. 

Her life changed in 2016 when she suddenly realized that she had been concealing a lifelong dependence on sugar and carbs beneath a web of denial (“It’s just a sweet tooth”) and rationalization (“I’ve been good so deserve a treat”). 

After she taught herself to quit, she started helping others do the same by creating the program Breaking Free from Sugar, which has helped over 3,000 people successfully reduce how much sugar they eat. That program is shared in her book “The Sweet Tooth Dilemma”.

In today’s podcast, we discuss all things sugar and what we can do to get it under control to improve our waistline, mood and energy levels.

Here is what we talked about: 

• Processed and refined vs natural sugar – what you need to know 
• The difference between sugar and food addictions 
• The porridge to avoid when trying to manage blood sugar levels 
• The 5 pathways of sugar dependency 
• Sugar misconceptions 
• The non-obvious things to avoid
• And more

Today’s podcast is a solo episode. 

As opposed to a recap podcast or even going through what happened in detail (as I sum that up in about 5 minutes) – I talk through some of the mindset elements I struggled with the most: expecting the unexpecting, just because something is difficult doesn’t make it valuable, not forcing things to happen etc

Hopefully there is a value here regardless of what stage of life you are in or the difficulties you may be currently going through. 

Short written recap: 

As some of you know, I flew out to Kyrgyzstan (beside China) to run 200km over five days up the Tian Shan mountain range. The plan was to hike for three days to acclimatize to the altitude and then run for 5 days up Tian Shan; but unfortunately, after picking up an infection in the capital Bishek, I only made basecamp 1 before I got hit with severe sickness. 

Here’s the story about it and what I learnt from the experience.
