Robert moved to New Zealand in 2020 with his Kiwi partner.

Personally, for me, COVID, that experience of just being trapped inside made me yearn for, like, nature and reconnecting with the world, and I think that's also one other reason why I wanted to move to New Zealand, just to have a different relationship with nature and the world around me, and I, and I feel like New Zealand culture really speaks to that.

He says most Kiwis welcome Americans with open arms, but for those who don't, he has a few thoughts to share.
5:13
I'm sure to a lot of New Zealanders, Americans invading New Zealand is kind of annoying and unpleasant.
5:23
That's an understandable reaction.
5:25
But I hope New Zealanders can give Americans like me a chance to, like, adapt.
5:33
We all have a lot to offer this country, and we're grateful to be here.
5:38
Uh, we just want the same chance as everyone else.

Like, what, what are the foundational frameworks that you kind of preach and, and have found really work, you know, for golfers and just general health?
7:45
Yeah.
7:45
The foundational principles is based upon the food pyramid that I established in Hole In One Nutrition, and I published it in 2018.
7:55
But like I said, it took me about four, four years to write.
7:58
Um, so I probably came up with it, you know, maybe 12, 13 years ago.
8:03
Um, and I stand by it, um, for a lot of different health issues that I work with people with gut issues.
8:09
But when we're talking about, uh, just golfers, that bottom tier is hydration.
