On today’s episode of Bond Appetit I’ve pulled out episode 3 from the back catalogue where I speak to James Douglas. James is a rock-climbing instructor at Urban Climb and a competitive climber climbing at the top Australian competitions. He is a student at the University of Queensland doing a Bachelor of Arts majoring in foreign languages.

James has recently changed his diet and has seen massive changes in his mindset, his physical capabilities, as well as his focus and energy. James is a massive advocate for ensuring your exercise should be fun and wherever possible something that challenges your body and your mind – like climbing.
