In this Biome Bite, Dr James McIlroy chats about the progress of the Inside Matters Podcast.

The following is a conversation with Dr. Petra Lewis, Senior Research Fellow at the Rowett Institute for Nutrition and Health at the University of Aberdeen.
We entertained various subjects in a fun, but also quite serious manner. We got into some nitty gritty fun topics with regards to diets, supplements, fibre, and all the things that we've talked about before in the podcast, but going into quite some significant detail.

The following is a conversation with Erin Kenny, the CEO of Nutrition Rewired. Erin is a registered dietitian with a Master’s in nutritional science.

The following is a conversation with Mollie Hughes, a British alpinist, world record holder, company director, and entrepreneur.
This podcast will appeal to anybody and everybody. It's very easy to listen to Mollie speak and you can kind of get a sense of what it takes to summit Everest and go to the South Pole. She broke the world record for becoming the youngest woman to climb both sides of Mount Everest and the youngest woman to ski solo to the South Pole. And now she's building an amazing adventure business, going around the world talking about her endeavours, and writing a book.
We explore how Mollie developed her mindset both before and during her incredible quests, she explains what it’s like to be caught in an 8-day whiteout on the South Pole and how affirmations helped keep her skis moving.
Everyone can get something practical from this conversation, especially when it comes to developing a mindset to enable you to achieve your goals and deal with adversity along the way.
