I thought it would be a good idea to let you know that in addition to testing and lecturing
on fitness and nutrition I have decided to become an Ironman. As most of you know this is a daunting task. I started
training about 4 years ago. At that time I was 45 pounds heavier and could not even run one mile
or get across the pool once. In fact, I did not even know how to swim (I am not sure if I am any better now either!).
I decided at that point to change my medical practice from gastroenterology to general internal medicine.
Since that time I have continued to reform myself and my practice. I have participated in many races and completed two
1/2 Ironman races last year. My practice now focuses on nutrition and fitness as well as detailed testing in my human
performance center.
I am applying my techniques to my own training. As the year progresses I will
update my site and let you know how it is going.
If anyone wants to share their ironman journey please email
me at administrator@physicianslifecenters.com.
I am applying all of the nutrition principles I have learned, from written
sources, endurance athletes and in my training as a physician, to the real world of endurance sports.
Good
luck with your training and if I can be of any assistance please let me know.
