What's up, folks? Welcome back to the WOOP podcast, where we sit down with top athletes,

researchers, scientists, and more to learn what the best in the world are doing, to perform at

their peak and what you can do to unlock your own best performance. I'm your host, Will Ahmed,

founder and CEO of Woop, and we are on a mission to unlock your own best performance. I'm your host, Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of WOOP,

and we are on a mission to unlock human performance. On this week's episode, our VP of

performance science, Kristen Holmes, is joined by Dr. Hazel Wallace, the founder of FoodMedic,

registered nutritionist, best bestselling author, and recently

appointed member of the Woop Scientific Advisory Council. We've been getting a ton of questions

from our listeners about nutrition and dietary habits to improve performance. So Dr. Wallace

is here with her unique background as someone who thinks more holistically about how nutrition plays a role

in health. This is the perfect guest to come on the show and help answer some of your

nutrition questions. Dr. Wallace and Kristen discuss why nutrition plays such a critical role in

overall health, why nutrition is overlooked in certain medical

school curriculums, exercise and nutritional health as it relates to disease prevention,

how food can affect a person's mood, tips on how to maintain better nutritional habits,

and how women should think about nutrition. A reminder, of course, you can email us at podcast at whoop.com or call us at 508-443-4952,
