Ep 25: Anurag Pandit - Lessons from a PhD in Resistance Training and Perimenopause
This was a great chat with Anurag about the PhD journey and some lessons/insights from his PhD to date! Be sure to give this one a listen!
Anurag is a PhD candidate and Accredited Exercise Physiologist at UNSW Sydney, with research focused around resistance training in female health. His current research includes a completed 12-week RCT that examined the effects of resistance training on body composition, symptoms and strength in the menopausal transition, an underrepresented population in exercise research. His previous research had focused on creatine supplementation alongside resistance training and the sex bias embedded within resistance training literature.
Alongside his research, Anurag teaches in the Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy programs at UNSW and runs an independent practice offering exercise physiology and strength and conditioning services in Sydney.

Ep 24: Josh Gillon - A Day in the Life Series - Part 1
This is the first of a 'Day in th Life' series I am kicking off. Here I aim to talk to a variety of people in and around the exercise science industry to see what a day in the life looks like and how they manage things like work life balance (maybe even take a few tips for myself!).
First episode to kick this off was with Josh, a student of mine from a few years back. Josh is wearing lots of hats and is a great example of how many opportunities can be afforded to new grads! Check it out and get a look at the Day in the Life of an EP/S&C
Josh's bio:
I am an accredited exercise physiologist and exercise scientist graduating from UNSW in 2024. I now have three different EP jobs on a part time and contracted basis. These include one physiotherapy clinic, one exercise physiology clinic, and one home visit company. On top of this I hold a casual position as an S&C coach with the hills hornets dealing with athletic populations.

Ep 23: Jay Calder - The overlapping lessons of Strength & Conditioning and Clinical Practice
This was such a cool chat with Jay - we share very similar views and experiences, so I may be biased - but this one is a must listen! Here, we chat lessons from S&C that have helped us in clinical contexts (Oncology for Jay and Pain for me) and the inverse (lessons from clinical practice that have made us better S&C coaches). This is definitely part 1 as we finished this poddy to run to a meeting buzzing with ideas of where this chat could have gone. Feel free to let us know what you'd like to hear us yarn about on the next one!
Jay's Bio:
Jay is an accredited exercise physiologist, PhD researcher, and lecturer in Exercise Science and Physiology at UNSW. Research wise, his program sits at the intersection of exercise- and psycho-oncology, looking to investigate mechanisms that underpin effects of exercise on psychological health in people living with cancer. Outside of academia, Jay has experience in clinical exercise physiology and continues to coach S&C for general populations with 98 Gym in Canberra and Sydney.
