It’s really hard to go wrong by eating more plants. 

No matter what kind of nutrition research you look into, there’s one thing that most if not all researchers agree on: the more your diet includes whole foods and plants, the better it is for your health and healing.

I can agree that my own recovery was definitely a lot better because of the food I was eating. And truth be told, my doctor and physiotherapist couldn’t believe how little swelling I had, and my diet definitely played a big role in this. But even if you’re not injured, plants can provide the kind of nutrition that’s hard to get from other sources.

In this talk with Olympic skier and registered holistic nutritionist, Julia Murray, we focused heavily on the hows and whys of plant-based food for healing. While Julia herself discovered this only after ending her professional career due to injuries, what she accomplished afterwards probably wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for her knowledge of proper nutrition. 

In this interview, you’ll discover: 

  • What kind of role diet and nutrition play in your recovery. 
  • How gut microbiome affects inflammation and what you can do to minimize its effects. 
  • Which supplements can be beneficial to take while you are recovering from an injury. 
  • What is the downside of rushing the recovery and what to do instead.
