10. How We Can Live Longer Through Our Food Choices with Jayden Ordner

In this episode, I talk to nutrition science and dietetics student Jayden Ordner about what nutritional choices you can make if you want to live to 100 years old.

The fact is, our nutritional habits are repeated multiple times a day, every day for our whole lives. There is a large association between our nutritional patterns and the development of the chronic diseases that are most responsible for mortality in Western Countries.

So if you are someone who wants to be able to show up as your best for as long as possible, and to enjoy a high quality of life even in your later years, then this is for you!

About Trang

Trang is an international and TEDx speaker, and a leading life and business mentor for those who know they're made for more. In particular, those who are hungry to build their dream business of impact to replace their profession, so they can live with freedom and fulfillment.

Born to Vietnamese immigrant parents, Trang spent the first part of her life succumbing to traditional Asian expectations, where she started her career as a Physiotherapist. However, her rebellious and visionary personality eventually led her to question how she could help people not just as athletes but as humans.

Trang started her coaching business but initially had no idea what she was doing, so she quickly overworked herself to the point of burn-out. Not just once, but twice, she fell asleep at the wheel and caused two accidents.

That is why Trang now runs the free and fulfilled business movement, so people can achieve business success while thriving not just as business owners, but as human beings. 

Ultimately, she believes that when enough people thrive, humanity will thrive, and when humanity thrives, the world will thrive for all of us and future generations.
