I hope you enjoy reading and listening to my podcasts.

I am passionate about being the best you can be and what better way to start than with nutrition and lifestyle. Our macro nutrients include protein, fats and carbohydrates which are dependent on enzymes to facilitate our biochemistry. Our biochemistry is ticking over 24 hours per day with high demand for vitamins and minerals. These essential nutrients enable our mind and body to perform at optimum peak to enable you to express and deliver your maximum potential.

The more we can optimise our wellbeing through managing stress, through lifestyle medicine, the more nutrients we have for pleasure.

This is known as preventative medicine and no pharmaceutical drug is a replacement for balance, happiness and being your ultimate best.
