358 - Olympic Champion & Doctor: How I Fuel Elite Performance on a Plant-Based Diet | Imogen Grant

What drives someone to pursue not just one extraordinary path, but two? Olympic gold medalist and physician Imogen Grant has devoted herself to two radically different disciplines, medicine and rowing, and somehow managed to reach the pinnacle of both. But listening to her speak about the human body, "the perfect stroke," and what draws her so deeply into each, and the divide between them starts to disappear. She brings a rare depth and poetry to the things she does, with an endlessly curious, deeply disciplined nature and a genuine fascination with discovery. She also gets candid about nutrition, injury, and what it takes to prepare for LA28, offering a glimpse of the life behind the medals and the making of someone who has turned living into an art form.

What we discuss:

• How she brings both a creative and scientific mind to medicine and rowing and manages the demands of doing both.

• Her experience with the IOC and Olympic facilities working to accommodate her dietary needs.

• Her thoughts on the LA 2028 Olympics, where she is in her preparations, and the mindset that is guiding her.

• Her thoughts on peptides and what actually matters most when it comes to supporting your health.

• How she handles injury, including a rib stress fracture caused by rowing and how she knew when her body was ready to return to the sport.

• The books she's currently enjoying and how reading fits into her life alongside training.

• Her personal mantra.
