The new CEO of the Nutritional Therapy Association, Matt Smith, is our guest in this episode. Debbie became certified as a nutritional therapy practitioner by this association a few years ago, so she is excited to connect Matt with the endurance athlete world.

Matt goes deep into what nutritional therapy is all about, the foundations of nutritional therapy, and how it can enhance your performance. He draws from his experience of competing in events such as swimming, mountain biking, and more.

We learn about the levels of certification available at the Nutritional Therapy Association and what makes the organization unique. Matt shares his first-hand experiences of how implementing nutritional therapy has greatly improved the athletes that he coaches.
