Seamus Mullen, award-winning chef, author, speaker and cycling enthusiast (he doesn’t sit down much), shares his story of battling through illness and injury, and how food nearly killed him before it saved his life.

He showed us some pretty sweet videos of an epic battle with a sturgeon on a recent fishing trip. He won even though he had to pee the whole time. Then he told us another story about having to pee during a bike race. Maybe Seamus should drink less water. Or launch a new underwear for athletes--Peeformance Wear? Urine The Home Stretch!

He had some seriously gnarly health issues for far too long. From RA to a tumor, meningitis, and several near-fatal bike accidents. He might actually be a cat.

Seamus is a fierce advocate for understanding your own body and learning how to listen to it. His body spoke softly but carried a big stick. Luckily he was able to heal himself through food, supplements and the wizardry of Dr. Frank Lipman.

Also his fantasy dinner party should get a James Beard award.
