How does nutrition impact strategic leaders?
This episode is all about feeding your brain and body with the right stuff. In other words, how can you enjoy a good nutritious diet, and why it matters for our performance and wellbeing at work, and indeed in life. Dana Chapman, a leading nutritional therapist joins me to share her advice on how to do this.
Dana explains food’s role as a source of nutrients rather than a source of fuel and how understanding this has profound impacts on both our physical and mental health. She gives practical advice on how to make changes to your diet to improve your gut health as well as how to have good eating habits and the triggers that can lead to poor nutritional choices.
“A lot of it is people seeing food as fuel, rather than people seeing food as a source of nutrients and a source of raw materials that help our bodies to perform the best” – Dana Chapman
