ABOUT THE GUEST
Having been a professional athlete for 6 years, Darren O'Reilly was exposed to many of the best nutritionists in the business and definitely took this for granted. He left sports to head for corporate life where it soon became apparent that he was struggling to balance a busy lifestyle with meeting my essential nutritional needs. He needed a solution that not only delivered nutrionally, but tasted great too. His solution? Whole Supp. He's committed to empower healthy lifestyles by delivering a great-tasting, nutritionally complete meal and lifestyle supplement that is good for you and the planet.
