When it comes to overcoming a challenges, one of the reoccurring factors is nutrition.

Health problems can be caused by, or exacerbated by an unbalanced diet. Or when other problems occur our nutrition can fall to the way side, often causing additional problems.

So for this episode we will be speaking to Andrew Hall an advanced sports dietitian, motivated by improving the nutrition, health and performance of others.

Andrew has worked with a range of individuals, from recreational to elite athletes. He is fascinated by interactions between the environment, mind, food, and the human body, and uses science-informed approaches whilst adjusting recommendations to the individual’s unique requirements and situation.

In this episode Andrew shares:

- The study that connected nutrition to mental health

- The surprising number of vegetables we should be eating and how to not be overwhelmed by that number

- The reason he thinks eating fruit is not a bad thing for most people

- The reason why he thinks meal replacement shakes should not be the first approach for most people

Key Quotes

“The strain on the health system from nutrition is not because people are eating too much fruit...For most people it’s very hard to over do.”

“Rather than feeling overwhelmed (by the number of veggies you need to eat), just wonder, how many you are already eating.”

“Two sessions on the track isn’t going to win you a gold medal, but every session you do adds up. Everything we do is just a series of small actions.”
