René Borg speaks to Barry Murray, performance nutritionist and owner of OptimumNutrition4Sport, at the time of our first joint workshops in Wicklow held on the 1st-2nd November.
This is Part 2. Listen to Part 1. Part 3 now available here.
In part 2 of this 3 part series we cover
- What’s the story with porridge – a good choice pre-run?
- Why you should slowly change the composition of your daily food
- What do vegetarian/vegan athletes need to consider and why Barry is an ‘80% vegetarian’
- The emotions of food
- Food intolerance tests are popular but do they tell us something real?
- Are joint supplements worth the money?
- Why supplements can’t beat food.
- What’s ‘biohacking’ and is it a force for good or a distraction?
- Super-sugars and ‘carbs that don’t act as carbs’ – what’s that all about?
- Should a type 2 diabetic follow the same fat adaptation principles as those outlined for the rest of us?
