Gaby Villa is a sports nutritionist, dietitian and founder of IntensEATfit. She specialises in optimising performance for triathletes and ultra-runners by making food their best ally in sport and life. Over the past decade, Gaby has supported hundreds of athletes, including previous guests Trish McKibbin (Ep137) and backyard ultra world record holder Phil Gore (Ep106) , to overcome lack of energy and gut upset so they can fuel their bodies with purpose, train with confidence and race to their full potential.
