Episode 304: Maintaining Vitality As You Age, with Naturopathy and Sports Medicine Expert Kira Sutherland

In this week’s episode of the “Living Your Sparked Second Half” podcast, Laurie interviews Kira Sutherland, an Australian Naturopath, Nutritionist and Sports Nutritionist who has more than 28 years in clinical practice. 

Her focus on performance nutrition led her to be the first Naturopath in Australia to undertake the International Olympic Committees diploma in sports nutrition. She was also the 2019 winner of the BioCeuticals Integrative Medicine Award for Excellence in practice (Nutrition/Dietetics).

In this episode, Kira talks about:

• How she became a Naturopath, ultimately venturing into sports nutrition and combining the practices
• The difference between mind and spirit and how they intertwine with our overall health
• Rcommended supplements for women who are experiencing perimenopause and menopause symptoms
•  Her views about Intermittent fasting and other types of food-limiting strategies.

Kira divides her time between clinical practice, lecturing at the undergraduate level, and mentoring practitioners of complementary medicine in the application of holistic sports nutrition. In her free time, she competes in endurance sports and skis with her family as much as possible.

She wants to inspire people to tap into the simple things to support their health and find the power that comes from moving into this wisdom phase of life.
