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 January & February’s editions for free!


Each item is linked to the original research breakdown. Just click on the DO, CONSIDER, DON’T 👈

Please note that paid subscribers have access to all previous research breakdowns via the Performance Archive 📚


✅ DO these things…

DO: Use protein supplementation (primarily post-exercise) alongside endurance training, this can support recovery but also can enhance time-to-exhaustion over a longer period of time 🚴‍♂️

DO: Use juice-based supplements to enhance performance and recovery; beetroot for endurance, pomegranate and cherry for inflammation and muscle soreness, pickle juice for cramp, watermelon for recovery 🥤

DO: Regularly consume blueberries in your diet, evidence links chronic blueberry intake with significantly improved episodic and language memory as we age 🫐
