An integrated and personalized approach to health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindsetPerfect for personal trainers, sports science students, fans of high level fitness (crossfit, marathon training, iron man, team sports) and gym heads!There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.Peak is a groundbreaking book exploring the fundamentals of high performance (not the fads), the importance of consistency (not extreme effort), and the value of patience (not rapid transformation). Dr. Marc Bubbs makes deep science easy to understand, and with information from leading experts who are influencing the top performers in sports on how to achieve world-class success, he lays out the record-breaking feats of athleticism and strategies that are rooted in this personalized approach.Dr. Bubbs’s performance protocol is for the elite athlete, active individual, strength coach, nutritionist, or practitioner who wants to expand their potential by:Connecting the importance of sleep, digestion, the athlete microbiome, and blood glucose control metricsCreating personalized deep nutrition strategies for building muscle, burning fat, or “making weight” for competitionRethinking nutrition specifically for team sportsLearning how elite endurance athletes fuel, including training techniques to boost performanceApplying the new science of recovery that enhances performanceEmphasizing the tremendous role of emotional intelligence and mindset in overcoming roadblocks and achieving athletic success (the next frontier in performance)Analyzing the qualities of elite leaders and how to develop them authenticallyDr. Bubbs expertly brings together the worlds of health, nutrition, and exercise and synthesizes the salient science into actionable guidance. Regardless if you’re trying to improve your physique, propel your endurance, or improve your team’s record, looking at performance through this lens is absolutely critical for lasting success.

I purchased this book as an audiobook and found it so information-dense that I also purchased it in Kindle format--something I rarely do, particularly when there is no whispersync!Overall, the information is very useful. Even though I am not, by any stretch, an elite athlete, I found it fascinating to learn how different athletes in different sports must train. New physiological research findings--and the technologies (such as continual glucose monitoring) that scientists are using to reach those findings--were also very interesting. And there was plenty of information that I could put to use in my own life. For example, I now understand better why whole foods are better than processed foods (and more foods than I realized are "processed" or even "ultraprocessed").Still, there is room for improvement. Marc Bubbs is an ok writer, but I wish his writing had been edited more carefully. Bubbs recounts Zinedine Zidane's "incredulous head butt"--a great story, but "incredulous" is the wrong word. Another time, Bubbs tells us, "Until relatively recently, the awareness of the impact of physical contact on brain health was largely unknown." No, the awareness wasn't unknown, the IMPACT was unknown.Then, while discussing "how to look good naked," Bubbs asks "how many calories should you trim to reach your goals?" and then advises us to follow new research by Kevin Hall, PhD: "aiming for a caloric reduction of 55 kcal/ pound/ day for the general population “reimagines a dynamic relationship between dietary calories and weight loss and presents a more realistic view of the challenges experienced by patients with obesity.""OK, but how is this possible? Let's say I weigh 120 pounds. There's no way I could eat 55 * 120 = 6600 kcals / day in the first place, much less reduce my calories by that amount. Thinking that perhaps a decimal point was missing, or maybe 55 was typed instead of 5, I looked up the citation to JAMA (Bubbs does provide footnotes, which is great).It turns out that this rule isn't supposed to answer the question "how many calories should you trim?" and the researchers do not suggest "aiming for a caloric reduction of 55 kcal/pound/day." Instead, the rule mathematically predicts how many pounds someone will lose before hitting a plateau. Hall et al explain, "For example, a patient who initially cuts 500 kcal per day from their diet and sustains a constant effort to adhere to the intervention would be expected to lose only approximately 9 lbs in total (500 kcal/d divided by 55 kcal/d/lb) with no further weight losses after the plateau." The fact that people need further calorie reduction after hitting a plateau isn't really new, and the entire point isn't very well explained.Overall, the book is well conceived, highly informative, and interesting even to non-athletes. I lowered my rating one star because of editing issues.
