EP15: Live Long and Prosper: A Holistic Approach to Nutrition with guest Nikki Hart

Our BODY, mind & soul are inextricably linked.  If we want to ‘live a long life well’ vs a ‘long life in decline’, we need to put equal focus on honing the vehicle that will take us to the finish line as much as we do the other aspects of our humanness.  

Keto this. Fasting that.  No carbs this. Lo carbs that. No Sugar this. Low sugar that.  Juice Cleanses, fat percentages… and on and on it goes. No wonder we’re confused as all hell about what to put in our mouths and our shopping trolleys.  

Disease & decline don’t need to go hand & hand with aging. Nutrition plays a huge part in our quality of life, our mental wellbeing & our longevity.   In today’s episode we’re bringing it back to basics with Nikki as we discuss; looking at food vs nutrients, the sustainability of the diet & exercise we choose, slow gains vs fast gains when it comes to weight loss and weight management, restriction vs overindulgence, being kind to ourselves when it comes to food, and so much more.  

We also talk about the 5 Blue-Zones in the world, what they are, and the common threads that support longevity in those countries, many of which we can easily incorporate into our daily lives.

Nikki’s a registered Nutritionist with a post graduate diploma in Dietetics, she’s hosted her own TV series, is a speaker, a writer and a legend in the industry.  In this episode she helps us bring it back to basics around everything nutrition.

We hope this episode helps you de-mystify all things diet related and that you get some simple take-outs that will help you prioritize your body and how you fuel it as much as you prioritize your mind and soul.
