On this episode of the #CLP we sit down with Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and owner of Phenom High-Performance Medicine, Callum Cowan. We were introduced to Callum through mutual friends (fighters), who had begun to work with him on their performance and were raving about the results. This was one of our favourite episodes to record from season 1, the information is in-depth yet easily implementable. We discuss everything from Callum narrowly avoiding dentistry school to mitochondrial health, fight trips to Brazil and fiber. It gets a touch sciency at times but please stick with it, the passion that Cal displays discussing the industry and his clients is wonderful and we can't wait to have him on for round 2. Rate and leave a review!
