In this episode Dr. Chaffee and Simon chat with professional AFL player Tom McDonald. AFL is the most popular sport in Australia and it requires strength, endurance, athleticism and of course skill. Tom is in his 13th professional season and plays a key role for the Melbourne Demons who are one of the top teams.
For more than 8 years Tom has eaten a meat heavy, high fat and low carb diet. He was first inspired to try it when Professor Tim Noakes was invited to speak at the Melbourne Demons. This way of eating and the hard data provided by Prof. Noakes inspired Tom to try and he hasn’t looked back.
Tom explains his rigorous training schedule and how he gets enough nutrition into his system, how he optimises his recovery and his body composition for professional sport.
We talk about how to overcome cramps, why carnivore and ketosis are antiinflammatory, what’s going on with Saladino and his honey and fruit diet, whether plants are hormetic, the dangers of oxalates and more.
Tom is well spoken, he’s a critical thinker and he’s curious, he makes an excellent guest and I’m sure you’re going to really enjoy this conversation.
