About this episode

Food quality has been neglected in recent times in favor of illogically calculated macro nutrient breakdowns and the misconception that being hungry for long periods of time is a good way to live. 

This weeks guest Faisal Alshawa is the founder of Believe Nutrition, an AI based tech platform to help people across the MENA region lose weight without dieting. For the past 7 years, he has  been working in the field of sports nutrition. Initially he started off as a performance nutritionist for the u23, u19, and u17 Qatar National Football teams and then eventually started Believe Nutrition. Professional, world-class athletes apply discipline, passion and commitment. The expertise he has mastered from working with them forms the basis of how he works with people in transforming their exhaustion to vitality.
