The Broad Scope of Nutrition and Fitness with Jonathan Griffiths
Robert Sikes
•
Do you struggle to make sense of the vast amounts of information out
there surrounding nutrition and fitness? Jonathan Griffiths has been
in the nutrition industry, studying carefully, for nearly 15 years,
having undertaken several courses surrounding human health, including
Medical Science, Nutrition and Herbal Sciences, and a Sports Science
certification. Over that span of time, he has seen fad diets come and
go. With the amount of misinformation online, he decided to uncover
the truth. He uses the most up-to-date scientific literature, as well
as experience from working with hundreds of individuals with unique
health situations. We covered a lot of ground in this episode, so I
know you'll take something away from it.
