172. Nat Heath - Empowering First Nations people to improve their health & wellbeing
1h 8m
We would like to acknowledge the Gadigal and Cammeraygal people of the Eora Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this podcast was recorded. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging and extend that respect to all First Nations listeners. We recognize the enduring connection of the Gadigal people to this land, its waters, and skies, and honor their ongoing contributions to culture, knowledge, and community.
Nat Heath, a proud Noongar and Martujarra man and founder of TriMob, is on a mission to empower First Nations people through triathlon. After overcoming Guillain-Barré Syndrome in 2010, which left him temporarily paralyzed, Nat defied the odds by completing his first triathlon just eight months later. Since then, he's completed seven IRONMAN races, including the World Championships in Kona, and run 100km in a single day for NAIDOC Week, raising over $26K for charity.
With over 20 years of experience working with First Nations communities in education, health, and social policy, Nat combines his passion for sport with his commitment to improving health and well-being. Join us as we explore his incredible journey and mission to inspire others.
We are so grateful for Nat’s generosity in sharing his story and allowing us to better understand First Nations culture and the role that sport plays in empowering individuals.
