The Secret Life of Dads Podcast

Show Notes

What if most of what you’ve been told about kids’ nutrition… doesn’t apply to sporty kids? This week we sit down with Performance Canteen - the team who fuel young athletes across academies, clubs and schools - to unpack the myths parents keep seeing online. Is sugar really the enemy?

If you’re raising a sporty child, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
