Recovery is a critical component of every athlete’s regime. Modern technology provides elite and professional athletes many deep insights into their training and recovery, however ancestral solutions are often the most efficient means to solving these complex problems. An evolutionary lense provides professional sports teams medical staff and nutritionists a novel perspective from which to navigate complex problems with simple, evolutionary solutions. In this talk, Dr. Bubbs will discuss three case studies of athletes struggling to thrive, and how ancestral diet and lifestyle approaches were the missing link to restoring optimal recovery and performance. This presentation will cover Dr. Bubbs findings with a professional football, basketball and hockey player and highlight how an evolutionary approach provided solutions to modern high-performance problems.
