#125: Jim Hallinan on Normalizing Healthy Living, the Real Reason to Ice Bath, & Nutrition Silliness

Jim Hallinan (@jimmynutrition) is a nutrition coach and co-host of The Other Side Lifestyle podcast. He’s also a father, a teacher, and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutrition and healthy living. Fun fact: he also owns a driving school!? An educator of all kinds! 

Jimmy and I see eye-to-eye on a lot of concepts regarding health and fitness. We both believe that health should be the default state, and that the absence of healthy behaviour should be the thing that’s seen as weird. Unfortunately, this isn’t really the case. 

Through his work as a high school teacher as well as with his nutrition coaching clients, he strives to lead by example. Read: instead of being all talk, he actually does the things. Especially with kids and impressionable teenagers, this is important. We need people to be able to look up to who are doing the things that we want to do. 

This includes ice baths, walking on the grass barefoot, and other “weird” stuff. Do we need “science” to prove everything, or do we just need to feel good? We discussed some of these activities and how/why Jimmy realistically uses them in his life. 

Health and nutrition is serious, but we’ve also gotta be able to laugh about it and enjoy our lives. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, and share it with your friends so we can all laugh and learn together.
