0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to the Food Medic podcast. I'm your host, as always, Dr. Hazel Wallace.
0:07.0	So today's guest is David Birkwistle, who many of you will remember from the last season, but he interviewed me then.
0:13.9	So I'm going to interview him today. You might also know him as my boyfriend.
0:18.2	David is a highly experienced online fitness and nutrition coach. He's also
0:22.5	founder and head coach of the personal online coaching company Endeavour Life, which provides proper
0:28.0	coaching for everyday people. I'm lucky to see David coach clients from all over the world when it

1:12.8	so that I can set myself up for better sleep and recovery overall. One tool I'll be using to help
1:19.3	me with this is my WOOP. Many of you will know I'm a huge fan of WOOP already and I've recently
1:24.7	joined their scientific advisory board, but if you haven't heard of
1:28.9	whoop before, let me quickly explain. WOOP isn't just another fitness tracker. Woop is constantly
1:35.4	measuring important metrics and vital signs like resting heart rate, heart rate variability,
1:41.3	activity levels and sleep performance.
1:49.6	The WOOP algorithms then process all of these inputs to provide you with personalised recommendations and coaching feedback to help you accomplish your goals, whatever they might be.
1:55.0	So if you're setting some goals, whether it's preparing for your first half marathon or like
