This is a first in a special series we have created with WHOOP speaking to world leading experts who can positively impact you and the life you live. Our first guest is Dr Hazel Wallace, medical doctor, registered nutritionist, best-selling author and founder of The Food Medic. Food is more than just our fuel, but our energy source and something we have control over. Dr Hazel will help inform the decisions you make with the food you eat. Thanks to WHOOP for being our partner on this series.

Dr Hazel Wallace started ‘The Food Medic’ blog in 2012, as a medical student, in a bid to bridge the gap between conventional medical advice and the latest thoughts and developments in nutrition and other areas of lifestyle. The blog has now extended to various other platforms and publications including social media, books, and a podcast. Dr. Hazel is also a qualified personal trainer and is passionate in the use of exercise as medicine, which was the topic of her TEDX talk. Her debut book ‘The Food Medic’ was released in 2017 shortly followed by her second book ‘The Food Medic for Life’ in 2018. She has recently published her third book ‘The Female Factor: making women’s health count and what it means for you’ which has been a bestseller in both Ireland and the UK.
