On this episode of Bond Appetit we head back to our chat we had with Alex Cox Taylor. Alex is the creator-in-chief of Urban Climb, a climbing gym that is taking climbing to new levels in Australia. He has managed to build a climbing community that in my opinion doesn’t exist in other circles. Members of Urban Climb wear their merchandise everywhere and proudly display their allegiance to the brand.
5 years ago, Alex and his team set out on a path to create Australia’s leading climbing festival and I was lucky to be part of the group that was involved in the first festival from the food perspective. Today, this climbing festival is a sort after destination for climbers and pro-athletes.
Alex and me talk about the creation process. We talk about how important food was to bring and keep these people together when it came to such a big event. We talk about how that event has evolved and how food plays a huge part in his life.
We also cover:
- Why Alex defines himself as a functional foodie
- The reason you should avoid food that would spike your blood sugar
- How processed foods are not the best option for you
- That a balanced diet is a key element of a healthy lifestyle
- Foods that are produced for quality rather than mass production
- Why Alex enjoys the Fish & Chips on a chilly summers day.
- How he incorporates crossfit, running and climbing into his exercise routine
- The reason Alex exercises in the morning for an early win
- A simple stir fry is a great quick meal idea
- Alex’s healthy eating plan is all about eating for the days needs and adjusting for different levels of activity
