Welcome to the first episode of Stay at the Top.

I’m going to kick off your journey to restructuring how you operate by learning how to truly harness the power of nutrition to elevate your energy, mood, vitality and overall performance in life.

Nutrition is really one of the most underrated strategies when it comes to elevating human potential, whether it’s on the sporting field, board room or any aspect of life.

For some reason we’ve gotten it wrong and focus on what we need to remove and restrict, but I want to teach you how to tune into how you respond to nutrition.

In this episode I’m going to cover the 5 core performance nutrition principles that you need as a high performance individual.


In this episode I share:


  • Where most people get it wrong when building a strategy for themselves
  • The mistake people are making with breakfast and snacks
  • The importance of colours in our foods
  • What exactly is protein pulsing and why it is important
  • Why you should adjust intake to output or periodise nutrition intake
  • The important thing to do to balance out a reduction in carbs
  • The best way to snack successfully
  • My challenge for you to start with snacks


Key Quotes


“I see a snack as the ability to add significant value, bolster your energy levels, stabilise your blood sugar levels and enhance your cognitive output and capacity.”


“It's ok if you want to reduce (your carb intake) but it doesn't mean you need to remove."


“The best way to leverage the power of nutrition is to focus on the perfect principles, not the perfect diet.”
