E41: Jayden Kuijpers

Saturday Sep 09, 2023

Welcome back to episode 41 proudly brought to you by Roam Energy. In this episode I catch up with Jayden Kuijpers, professional triathlete who was diagnosed with Crohn's disease as a child. I really enjoyed talking to Jayden in his experience in elite sport and moving into the professional scene, but also his openness in talking about inflammatory bowel disease especially as New Zealand has one of the highest rates in the world. It was a privilege to have Jayden's time, and we hope you enjoy our conversation.
