Monday Jul 24, 2023
Monday Jul 24, 2023
Marek Doyle is a nutritional therapist whose own metabolic problems forced him to see to see the disconnect between the scientific literature, the medical model and real-life outcomes.
From his 17 years of experience and reconciling the data from over 3000 patient outcomes and 11,000 test results, he utilises a personalised nutrition approach. He aims to identify the root cause of conditions and dysfunctions and provide answers that are provided by data, not dogma. From a string of outcomes considered ‘impossible’ turnarounds by some, he now finds himself specialising in complex cases.

I sat down with Rick Miller at his clinic in London, UK, to talk all things Men's health for physical performance and longevity.
Rick Miller is a clinical and sports dietician who is trained in functional medicine. In this podcast he eloquently explores optimal nutrition and exercise for men to support physical performance and longevity. He discusses the nuances around men and masculinity and how men are less likely to seek support for whole host of common issues such as insulin resistance, mental health, gastric concerns and sexual dysfunction. Interestingly, dopamine excess has been shown to impact libido and he manages this via a dopamine fast and cold exposure. Rick reviews the evidence around macronutrients on testosterone levels and explains his rationale for using an animal based eating approach within his clinic.
In this conversation we discuss:
