The number one mistake I see most people make is not consuming enough protein.While nothing beats food-based protein from animal sources like meat, seafood and eggs, I realise that many of us are busy, and adding in a protein powder can be a quick and easy way to make sure you’re meeting your daily protein needs.The question is, which protein powder is best? This is without a doubt the number one question I get asked as a nutritionist. In this episode, I’m sharing with you:• Why protein is important• How much protein you should be aiming for• The different types of protein powder, and whether to go for a whey protein or a plant-based protein powder• The difference between WPI and WPC• Which ingredients to avoid in protein powders• What to do if you don’t tolerate whey or plant-based protein powdersSubscribe & ReviewI’d absolutely love for you to subscribe to my podcast so you don’t miss an episode!

I know what it’s like to feel tired all the time, and I know just how challenging and frustrating it can be. It really impacts every single aspect of your life. I found it hard to focus at work, I didn't really feel like socialising or doing anything that might wear me out too much, and I really just felt like I was just hanging on - I wasn’t loving life, I was just existing.And coming out the other side, it feels so good to have energy; to be able to train hard in the gym, to go out for cocktails with my friends and not be completely wiped afterwards, and to be able to travel and just feel good. And if you’re struggling with low energy, I really want you to feel better too!In this episode, we’re going to cover the top root causes of low energy, so you can figure out what’s causing your fatigue and take the first step to getting your energy back.Subscribe & ReviewI’d absolutely love for you to subscribe to my podcast so you don’t miss an episode!

In the health world there’s such a massive focus on supplements. I love supplements and always use them in my work with clients, BUT, when it comes to getting the key vitamins and minerals we need from our diet, we can quite easily get most if not all of what we need to be healthy from the food we eat.But just eating a generally healthy diet isn’t enough. You need to also focus specifically on adding in specific nutrient dense foods.In this episode, I’m sharing the top nine nutrient dense superfoods to add into your diet and how they benefit your health.Subscribe & ReviewI’d absolutely love for you to subscribe to my podcast so you don’t miss an episode!
