This week we have out first ever guest!!! What an honour it was to be joined by Aisling Farrell, one of the most caring people I know. She's a teacher who is also a very successful nutritionist and online coach, helping many men and women to live happier healthier lives.
We talk about her journey so far, things she has learned after 4 years of coaching, insights into her mindset and some key tips she has, functional training and nutrition.
This is a very important podcast for any female listeners as Aisling provides some invaluable information on how to training should be adapted during the menstrual cycle.
Hope you enjoy :)
