Welcome back to another episode of The Curious Collective podcast, where we delve into holistic ways to support the lives of veterans and first responders. In this episode, our amazing guest is Will Gold, founder of Dig In Health Co.
I discovered Will on social media and was immediately drawn to his unique perspective on the importance of nutrition in the veteran and first responder space. Will's journey, from growing up on the Sunshine Coast to joining the military and eventually becoming a dietitian, has shaped his passion for improving health and well-being. Through his experiences working in indigenous health and with clients dealing with complex mental health issues, Will brings a fresh and impactful approach to his work.
Join us as we explore how Will is making a difference in the veteran health space and challenging the traditional allied health model. Get ready for an inspiring conversation on living your best life by nourishing not just the body, but the mind and soul as well.
