David O’Connor is a Strength and Conditioning coach, an ultra endurance athlete and a mental health advocate who is using his own experiences with depression and suicidal ideation to help raise awareness and funds for those who suffer with their mental wellbeing.

David has completed some amazing feats of endurance and fortitude, all in the name of helping others, and in this episode he opens up about his journey, how he struggled for years from a very young age with dark thoughts, constantly battling his own mind, how he started to find methods of managing and how that led him to wanting to get involved with providing support for others, and particularly for young people through sport.

A very honest story from a really genuine man.

Seán Kinane from Health Matters is back for a second episode of the Prymal Podcast to discuss metabolic testing and Nutritional Therapy.

With his company Health Matters, Seán provides metabolic testing to give his clients measurable information on their own body’s requirements in terms of energy, calories, nutrients and more, and as a Nutritional Therapist he helps advise on the most appropriate forms of nutrition and diet, as well as multiple other inputs, for that particular person, depending on their goals and desired outcomes.

Coach Robbie Bennett from the Irish Strength Institute is back for another episode on the Prymal Podcast after his last chat with us was met with such a brilliant response!

On this episode Robbie talks about cholesterol and heart disease, and how the way we traditionally think about the links between cholesterol and health is actually not accurate. We discuss the real facts and figures when it comes to cardiac health, and we also talk about purpose and motivation, and how the "WHY" we do some of the things we do, when it comes to health, training and fitness, is almost more important than the "WHAT".

Another cracker of a podcast!
