At 30, Adam Stern is a champion freediver. He holds the Australian record of free immersion, going to 99m with one breath. I encourage you to follow his insightful & fun Youtube channel. He is one of the freedivers that inspired me to get my level 1 certificate a few weeks ago and I found a new passion. Freediving requires a unique combination of fitness, dedication and relaxation, which can be hard to combine. The feeling of peace down there is incredible. I'll ask him about: - His story. How you got into competitive freediving - How it feels when you go that deep? - How he pushes his body & mind through competitive freediving. - What it takes to be a good freediver. Pushing yourself vs relaxing. - Little practical tips to hold your breath longer.

The science clearly points to diets mainly based on plant-based whole foods as the healthiest options for most people. However, it can be hard to change our habits of eating processed and sugary foods and too much animal product. During a few years, I worked in the same company as vegan nutritionist Kate Levins.
