#18 Danny Lennon - Weight cutting in combat sports

In today's episode of the Mind Set Game podcast, I sat down with Dany Lennon. Danny has a formal scientific background in academia, completing a master's degree (MSc.) in Nutritional Sciences at University College Cork. During this time Danny researched vitamin D, directly under the world-renowned researcher Professor Kevin Cashman. In addition to that research, Danny took classes in biochemistry, clinical nutrition, micronutrient interactions and physiology. Previous to this Danny also completed a BSc. Degree in biology and physics education and spent a year teaching these subjects. As well as producing media content, Danny also works as a performance nutritionist to professional MMA fighters, professional boxers and competitive powerlifters. He has consulted several teams in a number of sports. In the episode, we spoke about his thoughts on the BBC's MMA weight cutting documentary? Do you believe some people started weight cutting as they would be at more of advantage dropping down a weight category? Would a trial and error in the offseason be a better way of going about it? Combat sports and vitamin D deficiency and finally the Athlete mindset.   For more information about Danny visit sigmanutrition.com and connect with him on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
