A mini 5-minute opportunity to talk with Mark Ormrod MBE.

You may know of Mark's story. He lost both legs and one arm after triggering a landmine during a routine foot patrol in Afghanistan in 2007?

It is a miracle he survived at all, never mind that he has taken on and completed seriously demanding physical challenges few able bodied people could finish.

Today he is an athlete, a motivational speaker, and the author of a book aptly titled "NO LIMITS".

What a lovely man. Mark hates to be called inspirational (although he is) and prefers to consider himself "fortunate".

Here we discuss how nutrition played a huge part in his recovery, his nutritional experience while recuperating and how he fuels his body every day as an athlete.

On the 28 July 2024, Andrea and I recorded a very powerful podcast about Eating Disorders titled, "SULKY TEEN OR SOMETHING MORE SINISTER".

She is also the first black female winner of BBC's The Apprentice (Series 14).
