Dr Naomi Myhill: Translating Elite Sport to Consumer Health
Jun 08, 2026
Episode 218: In this episode of Accelerate Podcast, host Nicola Graham is joined by Dr Naomi Myhill — Director of Applied Science at Cascaid Health, a proactive health platform applying elite sport methodology to consumer health and longevity.
ㅤ
Before joining Cascaid Health, Naomi spent years working across elite women’s football with both The FA and City Football Group, helping bridge the gap between research and practice. Her work focused on translating complex performance constructs into actionable metrics and interventions — giving coaches and practitioners clearer insights to support faster, better decision-making.
ㅤ
At the centre of the conversation is the challenge of applying elite sport principles outside of high-performance environments. Naomi shares why so much health data fails to create meaningful behaviour change, what it takes to build systems that genuinely move people forward, and how elite sport methodologies can shape the future of consumer health and longevity.

The discussion also explores the female athlete landscape — from data collection and interpretation, to the broader challenges and opportunities involved in building more individualised health and performance systems.
