There has been a lot of misinformation on fat.  The belief that fat makes you fat is the biggest fallacy of all.  Kim, Carren and Cyndi discuss, everything to do with fat, going back in time as to when fat became a dirty word, learning about the research of Ancel Keys and why margarine was first made.  Why does the  heart foundation give it’s tick of approval to a totally manufactured food, with colours, preservatives and flavourings and why has butter been outed.  Should we heat oil, what is the best oil to heat, is coconut oil good and is saturated fat a good fat or a bad fat.  Are oils good for the skin and if so which ones?  Listen in as the three Up For A Chat girls talk all things FAT!

UC23 - Podcast - To Vaccinate or Not

This is a very emotive topic, so Cyndi, Carren and Kim ask the question as to why it is a topic that causes anger, ridicule and creates splits in couples, families, friends and colleagues.   The whole topic came about because Cyndi posted on her facebook page a study that showed a correlation between the absence of mumps and measles in childhood and the increase in autoimmune diseases. What started as something for people to think about and discuss became a very aggressive argument with everyone having a point of view. This is not about whether to vaccinate or not vaccinate this is a topic to give people information in order to choose what is the best for their children and families.

UC12 - Podcast - Projection Perception And Protection

The local magazine Profile on the Sunshine Coast comes out at the beginning of every month. There is always a cover girl. The cover girl on this particular month was our very own Up For A Chat co-host – Kim Morrison. This is no ordinary cover this is the cover of Kim at the age of 45 on the cover nude, tastefully hiding any sexual connotations and making it more about the marathon of life and bearing all about her life, trials, tribulations and triumphs. The scandal that emerged was something that we found meaning in and wanted to explore how we project our own fears, create our own perceptions and meanings and how we protect our own beliefs in order to be right about our model of our world and how we see things. Are our perceptions correct or our perceptions a result of our own beliefs, attitudes, identity and insecurities. In this podcast we explore these concepts and questions the validity of our opinion and judgement.
