In this episode of the podcast, fellow coach Diarmuid O'Donoghue and I sat down for a chat about why nutrition isn't about morality.

We also dive into the psychology aspect of behaviour change and why it's more than just more information! We discuss "food rules" and rigid mindsets around nutrition such as all or nothing thinking etc.

I share some of my nutrition red flags which we both agree drive us absolutely mad when they pop up on Instagram or other social media.

It's clear from us chatting that we have very similar mindsets and philosophies around how to coach you to better behaviours with food and fitness overall.

This episode was recorded with me as a guest, on Dermo's own podcast The Creating Alignment Podcast.
