Dan Plews returns with his views on sodium intake and his experience on animal based nutrition

This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to returning guest Dr Dan Plews about his recent foray into an animal-based nutrition approach, the importance of sodium for performance (and Dan’s recommendations for those headed into the hot summer of training, or Kona for Hawaii Ironman) and his most recent paper that talks about the importance of habitual dietary fat intake for fat metabolism (outside of pre-training nutrition strategies)

Dan Plews is an Applied Sport Scientist, Researcher, Coach and competitive Triathlete. As an applied Sports Scientist, Dan has worked closely with athletes who have won more than 25 World and Olympic titles in sports including rowing, kayak and triathlon. Dan was part of Rowing New Zealand’s preparations for both 2012 and 2016 in Olympic Games as a Sports Scientist.

As a Researcher Dan has a PhD in Exercise Physiology with a particular interest in heart rate variability and 30 peer reviewed publications to his name. As a Coach, Dan has coached three professional Ironman Triathletes to sub 8 hour times including Terenzo Bozzone, Jan Van Berkel and Tim Van Berkel.  Recently Dan founded endureiq.com an online learning hub for anyone interested in optimal long course Triathlon performance and a third course to go live is all about heat training and acclimation. He was also the high performance manager for the recently successful Team New Zealand bid for the America's Cup.
