DR. PETER BRUKNER

  • Dr. Brukner hails from Australia
  • Has an absolutely fantastic book which can be found here
  • He is, among other things, a sports medicine doctor
    • Non-surgical
    • He’s worked with various national sports teams
  • Now, his real passion is trying to get people to eat healthily
  • Like Vinnie, he believes what we have been taught about nutrition for the past 40 years is largely false
    • Also incredibly important to teach athletes optimal nutrition practices
      • All of this over processed sugar is not a good thing
  • Discovered the low carb science and way of eating years ago
    • Had Type 2 Diabetes in his family
    • Was around 30 lbs overweight
    • Fatty liver issues at this point
    • Around this time, Tim Noakes started talking about how we had things wrong, and Dr. Brukner listened
  • Dr. Brukner believes reducing carbs and processed food is the best diet for one’s health
    • For nearly all athletes, you do not need carbs for fuel, in his opinion
      • You don’t need gels and gatorades if you’re fat adapted
    • For the top, top elite athletes, some can benefit from a small amount of carbs
      • However, there are some who are totally keto and do great
  • Agrees we need to change the ideology around fat and meat
