What to expect

An integrated and personalized approach to health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset

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 metrics
  • Creating personalized deep nutrition strategies for building muscle, burning fat, or “making weight” for competition
  • Rethinking nutrition specifically for team sports
  • Learning how elite endurance athletes fuel, including training techniques to boost performance
  • Applying the new science of recovery that enhances performance
  • Emphasizing 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 authentically

Dr. 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.

Critics Review

  • “A must-read for athletes and everyone alike. Peak is an immeasurable tool for becoming the best you can be!”—Kelly Olynyk, forward, Miami Heat, NBA 

  • “This book really resonated with me as it is in alignment with all things terrain-centric and comes from a deep core of naturopathic philosophy and sound science. I am amazed it has taken this long to bring together a whole package for optimal fitness! Dr. Bubbs has done a monumental job in this well-written, easy to follow, inspirational book that speaks to both the aspiring and elite athlete. I live in a part of the country that is a hub for world-class athletes, and I often find them to be among the sickest of my patients thanks to years of overtraining, improper nutritional advice, addictive tendencies, and dysregulated natural rhythms. Peak outlines the best in sound nutrition, optimizing performance with powerful biohacks, inspiring us to get in motion again, and creating balance in our wildly out of balance bodies.”—Nasha Winters, ND, author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer

  • Peak is essential reading if you’re looking to maximize human performance—a phenomenal educational resource!”—Kyle Sammons, CSCS, Coordinator of Sports Science, University of Washington Football

  • “You have two options: You can either not read this book and miss invaluable tips on how to become a more efficient and effective athlete and human being (or coach others do the same), or you can read Peak as soon as possible and be that much closer to your quest for total world domination. To anyone who wants to enhance their performance, read this book and thank me later!”—Jimmy Conrad, World Cup veteran and former captain of the US Men’s National Soccer Team

  • Peak is a masterpiece of nutritional science from one of the world’s leading authorities on athletic health and performance. It’s a fantastic resource that provides a road map to reaching true wellness.”—Dr. Rocco Monto, orthopedic surgeon; physician, Team USA; author of The Fountain

     

  • “Dr. Bubbs’s advice on nutrition, health, and recovery for peak performance has been a game changer!”—Kevin Pangos, point guard, Barcelona FC Basketball
