From the highs of multiple Australian championships and competing on the world stage to the lows of missing out on his maiden Olympic team, Nick shares it all. We discuss the nitty-gritty of what has kept him motivated to continue to pursue Olympic success, his legendary coach JR and a bit more about the day to day training schedule of a professional long distance swimmer.

Welcome back to Episode 19 of Performax Science Radio.

Today we welcome back Performax's own in house Dietician, Nicola Pearce.

Nicola has a wealth of knowledge on all things nutrition, but also how what eat impacts the body as a whole.

This week's conversation is centered around the ecosystem of microbiome that lives within our Gastrointestinal Tract that supports our Gut Health.

We typically tend to think of food in terms of macronutrients and calories, however on today's podcast we take a deeper look into what we eat and it's impact on our gut health and coincidentally our brain chemistry as well.

We cover a variety of topics including:

- What are the common signs and symptoms of an unhealthy gut?

- What foods promote gut health?

- The difference between processed foods and non processed foods and their impact on gut health?

- Are detoxes and cleanses useful or harmful to our gut health?- How elimination diets like the carnivore diet or veganism impact our gut health

- The long term effects of sustained poor guy health

- How to go about maintaining a healthy gut for the long term 

And much more.

So without further adieu,

Let's get in to this week's episode!

First episode of 2023

This week I was fortunate enough to sit down with Athletic Performance Coach Jarrod Bolton.

Jarrod  and I went through uni together and have also shared the role of  strength and conditioning coaches at Caloundra Rugby Union in 2020 and  2021.

Jarrod has also had the opportunity to intern for a season with the Hurricanes Super Rugby team in New Zealand.

Now  Jarrod has his own coaching business, Bolton Sports Performance, where  he works with a variety of athletes on the sunshine coast whilst  facilitating the Sunshine coast Falcons rehab and strength and  conditioning programs.

Recently,  I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jarrod to chat shop and gain  his unique insights on the S&C landscape. We discussed a variety of  topics, including:

Traditional Education pathways vs non traditional pathways for learning

- The right way to go about working with Athletes post grad

- The current social media landscape of S&C

- The people Jarrod looks up to in the industry and how have they shaped his coaching philosophy

- Fragile vs Anti Fragile coaching systems

- Should athletes be training Full ROM or more joint angle specific to the needs of their sport?

- How much emphasis should we allocate to speed development in our training week

- How to navigate the "evidence based" landscape of S&C in an ever changing environment?

We hope you enjoy this week's episode and gain some valuable insights from Jarrod's experience in the field.
