Informative and easy to listen to

The podcast with Dr Stacy Sims was quite timely for me as I struggle for the first time with my body not responding to workouts and nutrition like it used to. I’m not quite ready to use the P or M word yet, but I am ready to incorporate new habits. Thanks for continuing to make health and nutrition easy to understand and entertaining to listen to. Super appreciate the focus on women’s health too!

RoccaAthleticDevelopment ,

Great podcast…

As an athlete, clinician, and science nerd I love the range of topics and expert guests…Peter and Molly do an excellent job of delivering quality and entertaining content…this podcast is a regular in my rotation!

Hal's Friend ,

Essential podcast for active people of all ages

Compliments coaching from Consummate Athlete but also a tonne of essential tips, theory and wide range of smart & down to earth guests to branch out and learn more from too. Helps all the puzzle pieces click. Molly & Peter are fun and passionate in their constant search for knowledge and sweep you along for the ride.
