About this episode
Chris Kelly is the founder of the comprehensive health and peak performance testing and consultation service called NourishBalanceThrive.com. This is the absolute cutting edge of progressive health for athletes and anyone wanting to achieve peak performance. The NBT program goes beyond traditional medicine to identify hormonal and nutritional deficiencies through extensive blood, urine, stool and saliva testing, expert consultations, and targeted supplementation. Chris is also a high performing masters mountain bike racer who has overcome serious health challenges and training mistakes to embody a healthy peak performance mindset and training regimen that doesn’t compromise his health. Visit the Primal Endurance podcast channel and listen to my past shows with Chris, and his associate (and future podcast guest) Dr. Tommy Wood, where we detail my journey through the NourishBalanceThrive testing and consultation program. Yes, I play real-life guinea pig and we talk through the crazy stuff found in my blood, stool, urine, and saliva and how I can fix things up! Chris talks about his journey from Silicon Valley tech geek to intensely competitive mountain bike racer and ultimately to pushing too hard, sleeping too little, eating like crap, and burning out. His journey back to health led to an empowering career change, where he applies his computer programming skills to the challenge of solving health problems that are not generally addressed by mainstream medicine. Chris is deep into making predictive models that can very accurately guess health problems that would otherwise cost hundreds of dollars in sophisticated testing. Chris covers so many interesting topics in this wide ranging conversation, especially the hot button items like gut health and adrenal burnout (is there really such a thing?). Try taking the “7 Minute Analysis” questionnaire on at NourishBalanceThrive.com to identify areas where you might be deficient in your functional health. It’s free and can be highly accurate start leading you down the path to further healing. Here is a sneak preview of what NBT calls the “five performance killers”: Low Oxygen Deliverability Glucose Intolerance Gut Dysbiosis Hormone Imbalance Circadian Dysregulation Good stuff! Worth doing for anyone, not just athletes. If you are currently spending money on vitamins or meds or super healthy food and have an inflamed gut, you are literally wasting your time until you attack the cause of the problem.
