The Brains Behind Our Supplements With Senior Nutritionist, Alex Glover

In today’s interview episode we’ll be chatting with Alex Glover, a senior nutritionist at Holland & Barrett, all about his journey into nutrition, where he started, and how he got to work in the field of research and development for the largest health and wellness retailer in Europe. We’ll discuss the experience needed to get into this industry and what a day’s work looks like for Alex. We will then dive into the world of supplements including topics such as are they fad or science, and how you balance evidence-based research with consumer trends. Alex started his career in nutrition at Holland & Barrett in 2018. At the same time, he went on to complete a master’s degree in clinical nutrition at the University of Aberdeen. He is passionate about public health, disease prevention, physiology & metabolism, performance & health supplements and has worked with numerous clients in weight management and preaches evidence-based nutrition. At Holland and Barret, he works with their customers both in store and now as part of the product formulation team. In his spare time, he likes to weightlift, hike, and of course, eat.
