I had the great pleasure of meeting the Whole9 contingent from New Zealand. Jamie Scott has been working with Dallas and Melissa for a while and officially became part of Whole9 2 years ago. Jamie and I connected via Dallas and Melissa and have been sharing nutrition and riding ideas (he used to race as well). He and Anastasia (his partner who is an MD in NZ who also promotes the Whole30/Whole9 lifestyle) came to visit SLC this past week. John and I were luckily enough to share sushi with them and review all things paleo, New Zealand (specifically Christchurch where Jamie survived the epic earthquake 3 years ago), Hobbits (Middle Earth) and bikes. Always bikes. These are possibly the smartest people I know. Now if I’d listen to all of their advice!
