Dr. Lucas MacMillan Talks about Sports Performance Toolkit: Behind The Scenes Options

Joining me is Dr. Lucas MacMillan, who is a Naturopathic physician and Clinic Director of Delbrook Integrative Medical Centre. And Dr. MacMillan is back on the show to talk about Sports Performance Toolkit: Behind The Scenes Options Dr. MacMillan talked about the following: Training and nutrition are very likely number 1. I want to focus on other factors. Dietary reactivities: Lots of misunderstandings here. Most of us have unique food reactivities that cause obvious reactions. These reactions can slow us down, cause digestive issues, itching, headaches, possibly even weight gain. Supplements: Caffeine, L-theanine, whey protein (if not reactive), beetroot extract, and potentially creatine. Ashwagandha trial Mental Health: Sensations of anxiety and depression can be very distracting, and rob an athlete of resources better spent on training & recovery. Taking steps to optimize one's own thought processes such as with cognitive behavioural therapy can increase focus and output.
