“Brendan’s knowledge is second to none. I read Thrive
and was
enthralled that after reading so many books and meeting with so many
experts,
Brendan was able to explain his thoughts on nutrition in such a clear
and
insightful way. My Thrive copy rests alone in the kitchen,
tattered
pages stained with beet juice and hemp oil. I only hope my competition
doesn’t
read this book until after I’m done competing.”
“ Brendan breaks down the technical jargon and gives you an accurate, concise outlook on the way the human body works in high-stress situations and how the right form of diet and exercise can change your life for the better. In this book, Brendan gives you his years of knowledge in diet and athletic achievement in an easy-to-read, fully digestible form. There's no other resource like it out there.” — MAC
DANZIG, Ultimate Fighter 6
Champion. And photographer "During
my fifteen years in the strength and conditioning industry I've read
just about
every nutrition book that's come down the pike. Not too many of them,
however,
has had the lasting impact that
Thrive has. Because of what I learned
from Brendan I have completely revamped my own nutritional program and
in my
mid thirties, I'm feeling and performing better than ever. More
importantly,
I've started using his recommendations with all of my high level
athletes and
they are setting new personal bests and recovering faster than ever
before. I
can't say enough good things about Thrive
and honestly believe that
every athlete, trainer or coach owes it to themselves to read it." — JASON FERRUGGIA,
Chief
Training Adviser to Men's
Fitness Magazine, author of Fit to Fight
