How can athletes continue to perform, compete, and stay healthy as they age? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sharon McDowell-Larsen and Dr. Regan Stiegmann, coauthors of Staying in the Game: Leveraging Lifestyle Medicine to Elevate Health, Outsmart Aging, and Enhance Performance. Dr. McDowell-Larsen is an exercise physiologist, decorated endurance athlete, and age-group world champion, while Dr. Stiegmann is a board-certified physician in Preventive and Lifestyle Medicine and a nationally recognized leader in lifestyle and performance medicine. Together, they bring decades of experience helping people optimize health, performance, and longevity.
We Discuss:
How to slow athletic decline and maximize performance longevity
The power of consistency and embracing “non-zero days”
Can a plant-based diet improve athletic performance?
Why nutrition compounds over decades
Why carbohydrates matter more for performance than protein
Do masters athletes need more protein?
Why fibre may be one of the most important nutrients for athletes
How gut-derived postbiotics may influence performance
