HYBRID ATHLETE AND PERFORMANCE CHEF

Dan Churchill

“Performance starts with how you fuel.”

Dan Churchill is a chef, hybrid athlete, and bestselling author whose work sits at the intersection of performance and wellness. Originally from Sydney and now based in New York City, Dan has built a career around making nutrition approachable and performance sustainable—whether in the kitchen or on the race course.

He is the founder of The Epic Table, a platform focused on performance nutrition, and the author of Eat Like a Legend. His cooking has been featured on Good Morning America, The Drew Barrymore Show, and in leading kitchens like The Osprey at the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. His approach to food blends practical science with vibrant, everyday meals designed to fuel an active lifestyle.

As an athlete, Dan has completed the Leadville 100 and is among the top HYROX competitors globally, currently chasing a sub-60-minute finish. His training and performance insights are shared through his YouTube channel (@danchurchillcooks), where he documents both the highs and lows of his journey.

As a speaker, Dan brings a thoughtful, down-to-earth perspective to conversations around health, performance, and personal growth. Drawing on lessons from the endurance world and professional kitchens, he speaks to the value of structure, discipline, and finding consistency in the day-to-day. Whether addressing corporate teams, student groups, or wellness communities, Dan encourages audiences to build systems that support their goals—and to enjoy the process along the way.
