In this episode, Trang sits down with nutritionist Stephen Ellul to talk about dietary choices for health and longevity.

We often talk about nutrition for performance, but nutrition for health is just as important, if not more. Health forms the basis for performance. Health allows athletes to consistently show up for training and races year after year, decade after decade.

Some of the topics covered include what good health looks like, metrics to monitor your health, the standard Australian diet, what a healthy nutrition looks like, increasing life expectancy, common diet methods such as fasting, keto, paleo and much more.

This has been one of my favourite episodes yet, enjoy!
