S4E10 -- Ohana Guest : Heidi Buttery - Nutritionist and Mental Health Advocate
Heidi Buttery went from ultra high wealth financial advisor to ultra athlete. After going through a “mental breakthrough” manic episode she has become interested in helping others who struggle with mental health issues. In 2014, she raced Ironman to raise funds and awareness for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). She has become a strong proponent for normalizing talk about mental health and shares her journey during our conversation.
In 2015, she shifted her nutrition expertise from general knowledge to specialized sports nutrition and now helps others with developing nutritional plans.
All of these interests reside at her website : UltraHeidi.com.
