Season 1, Episode 16: Nutrition First = Human Fuel



Today on Baring it All, I'm talking to Julian Hearn, the Founder and CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) of Huel. Julian reminds us that what you consume is what you are, and you can’t outwork a poor diet. 

In this episode, Julian reveals the inspiration behind Huel. Huel is nutritionally complete food - this means every Huel meal contains a balance of all 27 essential vitamins and minerals, protein, essential fats, carbs, fiber, and phytonutrients. Julian reveals why our food choices should be all about nutrition rather than taste. Instead of eating for entertainment, people need to be eating for nourishment. However, it's challenging for people to understand the needs of their body because of the media's conflicting messages. Huel makes it easy for everyone to get all their nutritional needs in one meal. Stay tuned as Julian gives his tips for scaling your business.
