Welcome to episode 2 of the Unlocking Fitness podcast!

In this episode, nutrition expert Martin Higgins and I discuss the nightmare that is the world of nutrition information & education for coaches and just how powerful food can be in the role of injuries.

So, if you want to supercharge coaching skills, deliver amazing results, and help prevent injury so you can have a much bigger impact on specialist areas of health and fitness - without having to get all technical about it, tune in now!

In this episode you'll discover:

the key role food plays in the development of injuries

how to navigate the world of nutritional information so you can just cut to the chase

how food and joint movement can help reduce the pain of osteoarthritis

why nutrition isn't a "one size fits all" thing

why sports coaches should fuel the person not the sport

He is also:

one of the most highly qualified injury prevention coaches in the world

perpetual experimenter

child adventurer who never grew up
