Weight cutting principles for weight class athletes with Danny Lennon of Sigma Nutrition

Send us a text


In this episode, Danny and I discuss the similarities, and the
differences between eating for health, and eating for
performance.

We cover a lot of ground, and relate his nutritional principles
to a broad spectrum of people from general population weekend
warriors, to elite athletes.

Danny shares his approach to preparing professional fighters for
fight camp, as well as fight week, acute weight cutting
techniques, and re-hydration protocols.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable conversation with a leader in the
industry! I recommend grabbing a notepad and pen.

Danny is the founder of Sigma Nutrition, a company providing
educational media content on evidence-based nutrition. Of this
content, Danny is perhaps most well-known for being the host of
the top-ranked podcast, Sigma Nutrition Radio.
Danny has a MSc. in nutritional sciences from University College
Cork, in addition to an undergraduate degree in biology and
physics. Danny has worked as a nutrition practitioner for several
years, working with a range of athletes. He is the author of “The
Sigma Weight Cutting System for MMA & Boxing”, a book that
details an evidence-based approach to combat sports nutrition and
making weight. He has presented internationally at conferences
and seminars in Europe, the UK, Australia and the United
States.

Shaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a
unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various
stages of life.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."


The odds were stacked against me:


Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work,
abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years
period of my life


Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping
school


At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my
pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new
life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work
and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier,
at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit
to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the
best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning
coach
38+: The next evolution begins
