About this episode
Nial Funchion is a Chicago policeman veteran and an open water swimmer who has achieved the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming. He is currently ranked 18th in the global Oceans Seven list and has been on a wild ride searching for the ultimate fuel source to push through intense training in the world of Marathon Swimming. From vegan to full carnivore, full circle. An incredible journey of discovery, an eye-opening experience crushing old paradigms and misleading guidelines contrary to optimal health. He views himself as a giant 'Lab Rat' testing training results via Dexa Scans, CIMT scans, CAC scans, and Blood Labs and more. Swimming has taken him across shores, against the odds, from England, France, Spain, Africa, Honduras, California, Chicago, and many countries in between. He could have never imagined reaching the current intensity levels, on a daily basis, at the age of 54. This episode is hosted by Dr. Shawn Baker MD.
