It was fantastic to hold a conversation with David Dunne and hear his passion around the subject of Performance Nutrition. We discussed some of his own observations from working in applied high performance environments for over a decade, and what lead him to looking at Sports Tech and creating a start up in Hexis with fellow founders.
Davids passion is clear and within our chat, David refers to his own frustrations and fascinations that held his curiosity to develop his own mind set and thinking. David shares some fabulous insights and I really hope you enjoy listening to this, as well as taking something from it that you can use to develop your own thinking or practice in your own high performance environments.
David joins us on an Instagram Live Q&A Tuesday 21st February 7-7.45pm to answer your questions on applied nutrition.

Joe Matthews is an applied Performance Nutritionist who has supported combat athletes, as well as team sport athletes in both male and female environments working in professional women's football as well as Premiership Academy Rugby Union settings. Joe is currently working on his PhD, undertaking his research at Nottingham Trent University and has research & applied interests in metabolic health, muscle, performance nutrition, injury rehab & injury prevention.
 
 I really enjoyed this conversation with Joe. We discussed many topics such as how you should approach the initial conversation as a nutritionist when working with a combat sport athlete, how important history taking is and how that information guides Joe's decision making around nutrition strategy. We chatted around the similarities and differences in professional environments and how your delivery will have to be versatile enough to work in multiple settings as a consultant practitioner.
 
 Joe and I also discussed the use of skinfolds as a measure within professional sport - particularly within team environments, and how the facility (and other nuanced elements) play an important role in how you capture data, as well as how the data is used and what it is used for; a primary consideration for any practitioner.
 
 I hope you enjoy this conversation, and if you think of any questions you'd like to ask Joe following listening to the episode you can send these to [email protected]. 
 
 Joe will be joining us on Instagram for a live Q&A on Wednesday 8th February               7 - 7.45pm on The PINN Podcast Instagram page - @thepinnpodcast. 
 
 See you there!

In this episode I had a fantastic conversation with Anthony Paradis, Director of Olympic Nutrition at University South Carolina. We discussed some of the comparisons between private practice and being in a full time role, as well as explored some of the vital things to keep an eye out for as an early career Performance Nutritionist.

We discussed his insightful free resource e-book that Anthony put together, based on his reflections as an RD.

I recommend this to anyone listening to the podcast as a great tool to support your own practice as a Performance Nutritionist.

Enjoy the conversation.
