Summary
As part of my trip to launch my new book ' Eat to Beat Illness'* in the US, I caught up with Aussie raised, but New York residing Chef Dan Churchill.
Dan studied nutrition at university and made his break in Australia with Best Selling cookbooks and making appearances on American Morning TV, he’s now the official chef for Under Armour clothing brand and on the Centr.com app. He also opened his restaurant 'Charley St' in NY’s Nolita district - a spread bar, delivering colourful bowls and tasty toast options with of course epic third wave coffee. The restaurant is also home to Dan’s Studio Kitchen where he posts Youtube recipes and interviews from his EPIC TABLE podcast .. which I’m now featured on too!
I respect Dan’s pragmatic approach to nutrition and food and you can tell his mission is to make people fall in love with food again, even his professional athlete clients that could be
forgiven for seeing food as yet another tool to improve performance.
Don't forget to check out Dan's most recent cookbooks - DudeFood and The Healthy Cook and remember to follow Dan on his social media platforms here and do check out his podcast and website to see all his amazing work - and watch out for more information on when the new Olive Oil line that Dan talked about on the Pod too is released!

| 0:00.0 | Today's podcast is sponsored by Zoe and I'm pretty convinced that anyone listening to this |
| 0:04.8 | podcast right now has an invested interest in health. Maybe you've tried the recipes, |
| 0:09.6 | taken advice from guests, all like me you see food as medicine. But to any of you ever feel like |
| 0:15.4 | you're doing all the right stuff to live a healthy lifestyle but you still feel fatigued in the |
| 0:20.8 | afternoons. It could be because the advice that we give to most people simply isn't enough for |
| 0:27.2 | your unique body. And I'm a believer that personalized nutrition could be beneficial if you find |
| 0:33.1 | yourself in this pattern. And Zoe's groundbreaking science does what generic advice can't do. They |
| 0:39.1 | look at your blood fat and blood sugar control and you've got microbiome to help you understand how |
| 0:44.8 | different foods affect your body so you can feel your best. Nailing your own nutrition can have huge |
| 0:50.6 | benefits on long term health as well as relieving more immediate problems like fatigue. So magnesium |
| 0:56.0 | supplements for example can help one person sleep better but they might have little effect on |
| 1:00.3 | someone else. And as Professor Tim said in our conversation personalized nutrition takes away |
| 1:06.5 | that trial and error and that very long process of trying to figure out what's going on inside |
| 1:10.8 | your body on your own. Zoe has been genuinely life changing for its members who've reported feeling |
| 1:17.3 | less tired after lunch and that the energy levels are far more consistent. Discover what eating for |
| 1:22.7 | your best health really looks like. Go to joinzoey.com and use kitchen, 10% discount that's kitchen, |

| 1:44.0 | older as the autumn of life. I've actually found it to be highly gratifying and we've actually |
