I've felt connected to Emily since first coming across her platform, so it's my honor to have her on as my first guest - (how nerve-racking for me! I'm also obsessed with her IG handle, so it's the title).
In this episode, Emily Dow, (Ph.D(c), CSCS, MS in Performance Nutrition, all the credentials!) and I chat about:
her research on the gut-brain axis
her athletic journey from weightlifter to runner
how to detect fitness/nutrition BS and who to trust
the confusing, unregulated supplement industry - which do we actually still use?
peer inspirations
our shared social media and industry grievances
her principles and values... and how her natural curiosity has led her to the best that life has to offer. In this interview, I also ask her "What do you believe you're good at?" - She gives a meaningful answer we can all learn from.
tldr: she's an intelligent, humble, driven gal with a lot to give (and a lot of sick tats).
