In this episode I chat with Richie on his career to date and how he finds carrying out a PHD in lockdown. The big topic we cover is Sarcopenia (Muscle loss as we get older) and what can we do to combat it!

Richie Kirwan is a nutritionist and nutrition PhD candidate at Liverpool John Moores University where he investigates the use of high protein diets and resistance exercise to reduce cardiac risk in people with cardiovascular disease. He has a BSc in Biological Sciences from University College Cork and an MSc in Human Nutrition and Metabolism from the University fo Barcelona.
