The Momentum Replay Series replays our top episodes so that you have the chance to catch episodes you missed, and refresh on others. The idea is to support you more regularly as you take charge of 2023 (through whatever challenges may arise). Here's to health, wealth and wisdom on this heartfelt path of yours.

In this episode I interview Ben Warren, a Clinical Nutritionist.

I found Ben’s energy absolutely contagious – and I think that highlights the palpable impact of the lifestyle he is leading. As you’ll hear in the interview, Ben came to exploring the interface of nutrition and health having struggled physically during his career as a professional golfer. It was the changes he made to what he was taking into his system that offered him healing. Now, Ben is completing his PhD exploring specific nutrients and their impact on something many of us struggle with, mental health. I have no doubt that this area is full of big words and high-level biology, but Ben elegantly and simply explains what you need to know to make some immediate changes in your life. No doubt you’ll benefit from this wisdom.

What is covered in this episode:

>>How Ben’s back pain was caused by a food intolerance, and how this connection transformed his life focus from professional golfing to clinical nutrition

>>How nutrition underpins everything from physical to emotional health

>>Ben’s PhD research looking at supplementation for individuals experiencing anxiety

>>The impacts of poor gut health on things from inflammation and heart burn to bloating and mental ill health

>>The bidirectional relationship of mental health and gut health and the multiple systems involved in this

>>Different neurotransmitters that are related to wellbeing are produced in the gut

>>Why the modern diet will never provide you all you the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs) of the nutrients you need, let alone the Suggested Optimal Allowances (SOAs)

>>Important supplements to take for wellbeing (generally and for more specific diets like a vegan one)

>>Mindfulness of your food sources and how that impacts nutritional value
