066: Eating For Performance With Dan Churchill
In this week's episode, I welcome a guest: my good friend and world-renowned chef, Dan Churchill. As the executive chef at The Osprey in Brooklyn, Dan has gained insight and experience at not only curating incredible dining experiences but also creating dishes that fuel and serve your body well. There's a lot to consider when we think about our eating habits - how they affect our performance, our gut health, and even the effect that stress levels have on our metabolism. Dan is a fantastic resource on this topic, and this conversation is hugely insightful on eating for performance.
