#110 Reid Reale

In this episode I sat down with Reid Reale - Director of Performance & Nutrition at the UFC Performance Institute in Shanghai, China during his recent trip to Australia to assist athletes for UFC 293. Now if you're expecting a masterclass in weight cutting and nutrition for combat sports.... This episode won't be it, to be fair, Reid would have done more than his fair share of talking about nutrition and performance in other podcasts so the real takeaway on that front is that you simply can't overlook the basic pillars of eating good food, sleeping right and putting in the work. If you did want to get these kinds of insights, you can find plenty of those resources in his published works here: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=mXaxPcgAAAAJ&hl=en Reid is widely considered an authority on the science of combat sports nutrition, however as you all know I'm interested in finding out the stories of how people actually end up where they are. There's plenty of great stories in this one, so I hope you all enjoy it! https://www.instagram.com/reidreale/
