Super Digestible - February 2026 ✅
You monthly nutrition science cheat sheet.
What is Super Digestible?
Every day I post a research breakdown of the latest nutrition science related to human performance, health and the power of food. The daily 1-min reads are a great way to stay on top of the research. But, I want to make actionable summaries even more accessible 📝
Therefore, I started Super Digestible, a monthly newsletter containing a one-to-two sentence summary of each study I’ve reviewed that month. Focusing specifically on how you can apply these findings in your own practice ✅
Each study will be filtered into: DO, CONSIDER, DON’T. Based on the research findings, paired with my professional experience in the world of elite sport 🏆
This is your monthly research cheat sheet, so you can stay at the very pinnacle of science-based performance nutrition 🏔
A huge shoutout to Daniel Rowland who inspired this format. I highly recommend following Daniel’s Endurance: Ideas & Implementation Substack.
The Super Digestible newsletter is a paid subscriber special. If you’re not a paid subscriber yet but want to know more, check out the January 2025 edition for free!

✅ DO these things…
DO: Assess and maintain optimal vitamin D levels (> 75 nmol/L) year round, this will help speed up bone injury healing time 🦴
DO: Intake moderate doses of caffeine to support cognitive function and reduce risk of dementia (e.g. 2 to 3 cups per day of caffeinated coffee or 1 to 2 cups per day of tea) ☕️
DO: Focus on achieving optimal energy availability, getting in ~8hrs sleep, fuelling training and recovery properly to optimise testosterone levels 📈
