Curious to know how our ambassador and athlete maintains her Gr8 Health? Then keep on reading! 

We sat down with our long time health ambassador and extraordinary swimmer Moesha Johnson and asked her some health questions that can also easily assist you on your journey! 

A little about Moesha:

“I’m a professional athlete and endurance swimmer training for the events: 400m, 800m, 1500m freestyle in the pool, and the 5km and 10km events in the open water. I’ve had the opportunity to travel and race all over the world throughout my career, winning international medals along the way. But for me, the proudest moments of my sporting career are actually the moments most people don’t see. The moments when you don’t give up when you’re training badly or when races don’t go to plan and having the patience and perseverance to work hard over long periods of time.

For me, my goal is to represent Australia to the highest level, continue to travel the world swimming and racing doing what I love.”

We are super excited to be sponsors for a professional swimmer! Moesha is currently training to qualify for the Paris Olympics 2024, and we are here to support her every step of the way so she can fulfil her dreams and achieve her goals.

We will be finding out how Moesha stays fit and healthy, her nutritional requirements and supplements she takes to ensure she is always performing at her best.

– How do you prepare physically and mentally for a competition?

I personally really love to slow down life outside of the pool and ultra focus in on the job at hand. I focus on resting, clearing myself of all stress and external obligations that clutter my mind, eating well, drinking water and sleeping good hours. Mentally I start practicing in my mind to trust the work I’ve done and start going through the processes I’ve practiced to get ready for optimal racing. I really lean into my close support circle the last days leading into the competition.

– What vitamins and supplements are essential for you?

For me vitamin C and probiotics are so important for traveling and maintaining that extra support for my immune system. I also like to take zinc and iron when possible.

– How do you maintain your Gr8 Health on a day to day basis?

I focus on eating well every day, drinking plenty of water, and getting lots of sleep daily.

– What are the challenges you face (food-wise or supplement/vitamin-wise) when preparing for a competition?

It’s something I really have to factor into my daily preparations with my health, recovery, sleep and any social engagements. I have to make sure I am caring for my immunity in all my choices I make including food and by adding in some extra supplementation for the travel and competition stress factors. I just have to make sure I am relaxing when possible.

– What is your favourite Gr8 Health product?

I’m such a big fan of the ‘we are feel good’ products that Gr8 Health stock. Best face zinc hands down. Cannot beat it. I even wear it as makeup some days when I’m busy around training. I also love the Weleda products. The moisturizing lotions are so natural for my body after lots of chlorine. My skin can be sensitive to more products but the Weleda are natural and soothing and make me glow

– Why do you choose and trust Gr8 Health to stock up on your healthy goodies?

I know they stock quality products and choose brands to stock that only align with the mindset of having better health. So for me it helps me stay focused on my goals and not get distracted by maybe naughty junk foods, or trial new skin care brands that are full of chemicals. I feel safe picking any product from their website knowing they have my best health in mind.
