Today we spoke with Daniel Davey, for the 2nd time - Founder of daveynutrition, performance nutritionist and best-selling author

Daniel brings a wealth of experience at the highest level of performance nutrition, having worked with Leinster rugby and the Dublin footballers. He brings a plethora of practical, implementable and simple advice for people looking to build better nutrition and hydration habits. His first book, 'Eat Up, Raise Your Game' had massive success which we spoke about today (top-10 for 27 weeks!). His new book, 'Eat Up - the next level' promises the same success - we asked about the title, the dedication (thanks for sharing Daniel, and what you have learned from your dad!), and feelings around when a book is near completion and finished.

Trust about what others share, cultures around high performance sport, mixed meals (and why they are important!), and the small things that make a big impact are great talking points - plus, nutrition in the corporate world. Daniel explains why the gut microbiome is involved in every aspect of our health, mood, skin, immunity, production of essential nutrients and wellbeing.

We had a wonderful dialogue around eggs too!
