- Dr. Prendergast is a radiation oncologist
- This means he uses radiation for cancer therapy
- “Flips a switch”
- He is an incredibly intelligent man
- Practices in Florida
- Got into Paleo in med school (and crossfit, too!)
- This really shaped his idea of health and fitness
- He and his wife started a blog last year
- Brendan tries to incorporate his idea of healthy living into his work
- He hated that doctors give sick people crap just because they’re told it’s right!
- Often, the opposite diet is the right one
