Fuel: Dr. Jules Cormier | Nutrition supplements for vegan athletes, lasting change, and competing as a Ninja Warrior
This conversation is with Dr. Jules Cormier, a plant-based family medicine physician and Ninja warrior athlete in New Brunswick, Canada. Dr. Cormier earned his PhD in medicine at the Universite de Sherbrooke medical school and chose family medicine as a specialty because he highly prioritized forming lifelong relationships with his patients. In addition to his own practice, he is heavily involved in teaching various aspects of medicine, including lifestyle medicine and the power of plant-based nutrition!
To complement his professional life, Dr. Cormier trains and competes in Ninja Warrior competitions and in 2022 he represented Canada at the world Ninja Warrior Championships in Las Vegas. He truly understands the importance of not just achieving health, but optimizing performance and he is skilled at combining evidence based science with practical training tactics.
