Tim's Bio:
The world is taking notice of Tim VanOrden, elite athlete and creator of the Running Raw Project. Tim is a raw vegan athlete who has an international reputation for excelling in some of the world's most grueling sports. He's recently been crowned the New England Master's Mountain Running Champion and his recent performances in Stair Climb Racing (US Bank Tower, Sears Tower, Empire State Building), have been featured in GQ Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, VegNews, and the London Guardian. In January of 2009Tim was featured on the Food Network show "My Life in Food".
Over the past 5 years, Tim has transformed himself from a sedentary couch potato, suffering from severe depression, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and asthma into one of the world's fittest men over forty. He did this by adopting a simple raw vegan diet. Tim is opening the eyes of athletes around the world to the possibility that a simple, raw, plant based diet can provide performance and health beyond that which has been previously experienced.
Class Overview:
• The Elements of Peak Performance
• Human Nutritional Needs
• Human Fuel Systems & Strategies
• Carbohydrates, Fats & Proteins Explained
• Dietary Misconceptions
• Toxicity in Common Foods
• The Stress, Recovery Equation
Tim will also answer:
How much of a role does diet play in human performance?
How does one navigate the constant barrage of contradictory dietary information?
How does one make better dietary choices?
Can one eat for health, longevity and improved performance at the same time?
The most difficult aspect of choosing any diet is that of convincing yourself that it is indeed the right choice. Change is stress, even when the change is positive. The vast majority of Americans blindly eat the Standard American Diet without ever questioning its role in one's health. Yet obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer are on the rise and considered epidemic. Meanwhile, scientific journals are constantly touting the benefits of whole, raw fruits and vegetables. In this lecture we will lay the groundwork for improved levels of performance and health.
