Dr. James DiNicolantonio - WIN: Achieve Peak Athletic Performance, Optimize Recovery and Become a Champion

New York Times best-selling author, keynote speaker, human performance consultant, podcaster, entrepreneur, health investor & one of the top 100 Most Influential People in Health and Fitness.

I have been immersed in both the biohacking and wellness space and the competitive athletic space for over 20 years and have seen just about everything when it comes to exercise and athletic performance and recovery. I have competed in more Ironman events than I care to remember, finished dozens of Spartan races, trained many elite athletes, and have helped thousands of people around the world achieve their goals and improve their life. A big reason why I am motivated each day is to help improve the health of others through coaching, podcasting, speaking and being a role model.

I believe the human body is one of the most magnificent things that can accomplish anything. You just need the right information, training, and perseverance. Having good genetics or talent is not enough for peak performance grit is also required. The most successful athletes in the world focus equally as much time on getting the highest quality coaching as they do on their actual sport. The coachs job is to teach and guide the athlete towards the right path based on the latest science.

As a life-long athlete, I have always looked for the best ways to improve athletic performance and recovery, including ideal meal timing for building as much muscle as possible, all the way to the most cutting-edge biohacking gadgets. I do it because I am a bit of a science geek at heart but also to gain the extra edge in my own fitness.

One person who I have followed and respected for quite some time in this space is Dr. DiNicolantonio. The first time I stumbled upon his work was when I discovered his book The Salt Fix, which talks about the misconceptions about salt and how vital of a role salt has in the human body. After implementing many of the recommendations in his book about salt and other minerals, Ive noticed a significant improvement in my endurance, perception of fatigue and overall energy levels throughout the day. In fact, he is someone that I credit for why I no longer fear the saltshaker. Indeed, taking salt prior to my work outs has been one of the biggest factors for improving my own performance.

Besides salt, Dr. DiNicolantonio is also very knowledgeable about all things related to human physiology and optimizing how the body works. His background as a cardiovascular research scientist and having over 300 academic publications on nutrition and nutraceuticals gives him expertise across many fields. With a deep passion for fitness and athleticism himself, Dr. DiNicolantonio has put together an incredible manual for optimizing ones physical pursuits. Even myself with decades of experience learned many important insights from the book that Im going to implement into my current workout routine.

His new book WIN is undoubtedly one of the most evidence-based books on athletic performance. It teaches you the underlying pillars to physical development and fitness, such as nutrition, muscle growth, fat loss, body composition optimization, recovery, supplementation and so much more. Not only are there specific protocols that have been formulated in the book, but all the recommendations are backed by a wealth of scientific evidence. This book is suitable for both beginners, as well as advanced athletes, complete science nerds, body builders, the average Joe or Jane wanting to lose an extra few pounds, as well as top tier elite athletes. If I had this information available to me when I was competing, I know that it would have given me a significant advantage. I hope you enjoy WIN as much as I have!
