E.14 Former England Rugby Player, Diet and Becoming Flexitarian

This week I am joined by Former England Rugby player Olly Barkley. Olly had a very unique journey where he went straight into playing for England which then led him to play for Bath with a very long and successful career which lasted 15 years! 

I was really looking forward to speaking to Olly about his diet when playing professional rugby compared to his diet now, as well as his thoughts on the plant-based movement and whether he believed that you could play a high impact sport professionally whilst on a predominantly plant-based diet. 

 This conversation was so interesting,  Olly's knowledge and passion on the topics were so inspiring as we discussed the following topics:

- Olly's career journey and how he got there
- Calorie intake whilst in training for a professional sport 
- Nutritional guidance
- The power of food for recovery, maintenance and growth 
- Learning about how your personal body works and develops
- Supplements 
- Plant-Based and Flexitarian
