The Balanced Nutritionist with Matthew Sullivan

Welcome to another episode of the Happy Apple! I recently connected with a like minded personal trainer who operates near where I live who agreed to an interview on this episode of the Happy Apple. Matthew Sullivan is a highly experienced and professional personal trainer,  operating from Drive Fitness who holds a Bachelor of Exercise & Sports Science as well as a number of other qualifications. 
During this exercise we cover:
-Advice for anyone wanting to begin a journey towards heath and fitness.
-Common pitfalls when starting a journey towards better health and fitness.
-Why professional guidance is worth investing in as you begin (or continue) on the path towards better health and fitness.
-Why nutrition and movement go hand in hand.
-Some of the lesser known benefits of moving more and eating well. 
If you have any questions specifically for Matt, he can be reached at hello@drivefitness.com.au.
Thank you Matt for joining me and I hope everyone enjoys the valuable episode, I really enjoyed recording it.
