The Grandstanders Podcast - 18 February 2012

Wondering how you could spice up you Saturday mornings? Look no further than 89.9 LightFM for the Grandstanders - the show where Craig Harper and Jane O'Brien takes you on an adventure packed educational journey through the world of sports and healthy living. Hold on to your seats, hats and whatever you can hold on to because the Grandstanders are back and they are ready to blow you away!

Jane had a fill in co-host as the Grandstanders kicked off this week's show. Craig decided to show up a couple of minutes late. Was it just a coincidence... or did Craig have some trouble getting out of bed? Filling in for the mean time was Brett while Jane had the opportunity of sitting in the "Big Seat". On this week's show the Grandstanders chat with Sally-Anne McCormack about ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts), discuss excercise obsession, tackling the fear of veggies and more.

Craig steps in just in time to take the show to a new level. This could also be because Jane kept his chair warm for him. Hear how Jane feels that Craig is a control freak. Craig and Jane talk about the effect of processed food on the human body. They discuss about the very interesting way that Stefani Bardin from the US decided to do research on this topic. The research involved capsule sized camers, the stomach and noodles. Also they explore the effects of microwaving food. The Grandstanders also debrief about the challenge that was launched last week. Listen to the results that listeners sent in. Does going one day with nothing but water make any difference? Hear the Grandstanders solve this challenge. The 'challenge captain' - Craig, comes up with another Grandstander’s Health Challenge for the listeners this week. Listen to the podcast to find out what this challenge is.

This week, Jane secured the service of Clinical Psychologist Sally-Anne McCormack. Jane admires Sally-Anne and that's not just because of the number of credentials after her name, but also because she might help her in picking on Craig! Sally-Anne McCormack is a clinical psychologist with private practices in Blackburn and Burwood East in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria. She is a registered psychologist, counsellor, media consultant, former teacher, wife and mother of four. In addition, she became an author when her first book - Stomp Out The ANTs, a self-help book to learn strategies for preventing depression, anxiety and stress. According to Sally-Anne, ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) are annoying, but everyone gets them and they can be hard to get rid of, but if we practice certain techniques we can spot them early and prevent a plague.
