What should we be eating? Diets and fads are always fighting for our attention, with so-called health experts trying to persuade us to buy their healthy products. I hope this episode puts an end to that. Tarek is the founder of Matter Nutrition, one of the leading meal plan companies in the UAE, but so much more than that: a movement in lifestyle wellness. You'll hear my praise Matter throughout the episode and for good reason! Have a listen and hear more about the science behind food and how Tarek believes we should structure food in our lives. If you're in the UAE, check out Matter Nutrition here and sign up for an incredible meal plan today: https://matternutrition.xyzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We often take our breathing for granted because it's something we naturally do 24/7. But what if I told you many of us are breathing wrong? Because it's not something we focus on, nor put effort into, we forego the benefits breathing can offer us. In this episode, we brought expert Nestor Balart in the studio to talk us through his experiences and lessons in learning about the breath. How it can help with performance, focus, anxiety, sleep and much more. If you want to learn more about Nestor and his company Ballistics Breathing - check out https://www.ballisticsbreathing.com. You can also send us any questions you may have for him. Happy listening!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's guest on the Forever Student is Tom Walker. He’s worked in the fitness world for over a decade, some of those years focused on coaching triathletes. Tom also decided to compliment his experience and hands on knowledge with a BSc in Applied Sport Science. He saw the ‘student lifestyle’ as a chance to develop his own race experience and in his 3 years as a student bagged two AG top 10’s at IM 70.3 Dublin and IM UK, raced at the 70.3 World Championships and represented GB at the European Middle distance championships. Alongside this, Tom’s continued to coach triathletes and endurance athletes and spent 2 years working as an S&C coach for his Universities High Performance Academy. Tom is now an endurance coach at Innerfight in Dubai.  Today, we talk about his journey as a professional athlete, some misconception about endurance sports, why you should consider signing up for an endurance race, goal setting, staying consistent and committed, and much more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Nas is a good friend, but also a functional medicine practitioner, health and wellness advocate, family medicine consultant, and medical director at DNA health Center here in Dubai.We had him on the show before where we spoke about timeless ways to take care of your general health, if you have listened to that yet, check out episode 15. Today, we’re jumping into the topic of stress. We all suffer from stress in some shape or form and I thought it would be a good idea to bring him on to give us pointers across mental wellness, exercise, sleep, nutrition, and supplementation to mitigate stress as well as possible. Enjoy the episode! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is Part Two of my interview with Dr Lisa MillerHappy listening! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is with Dr. Lisa Miller. I first came across her name while watching her on one of my favorite podcasts: the Rich Roll show. She spoke about the link between spirituality and science, something I had never heard about. Spirituality for a lot of us is quite out there, hard to really grasp, and especially difficult to prove. In this episode, we go into many different things spirituality related - from defining it, to talking about deep relationships, inner wisdom, connecting with a higher power and much more - all of this is covered in her new book, the awakened brain. You’ll see that she guides me through two practices in the episode. We’ll post these separately as well so you can access them anytime you need. Finally - we ran out of time with Dr. Lisa and we schedule a round 2 with her soon - so stay on the lookout for that. To give you all a bit more clarity on who she is, Dr. Lisa is the New York Times bestselling author of The Spiritual Child and a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University. She is the Founder and Director of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program and research institute in spirituality and psychology. Her innovative research has been published in more than one hundred peer-reviewed articles in leading journals.  Dr. Miller speaks and consults around The Awakened Brain and The Spiritual Child for the US Military, businesses (including tech, finance, HR and sales), personal development, faith based organizations, schools and universities, and for mental health and wellness initiatives.Happy listening! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
