The Plant Free MD Series | Episode 39 | Sean ‘Sako’ Sakinofsky

In this episode Dr. Chaffee and Simon chat with Sean ‘Sako’ Sakinofsky who is a keto/carnivore elite endurance cyclist who rides for hundreds of kilometers without refueling. At 50 years old he is at the top of his game and pushing the boundaries of what mainstream science and endurance experts think is possible.

In 2006, Sean founded a supplement company which advocated the usage of carbohydrates…

In 2013, after losing his father to Oesophageal cancer, Sean started to “look out of the box” and see a correlation between the high carb, low fat diet and lifestyle diseases such as cancer and cardiac problems which plagued both sides of his family and most of the developed world.

Going keto (and often strict carnivore), Sean stopped stuffing his pockets full of carbohydrate gels and kept riding his bike. His lifelong struggle with his bowel movements were resolved and his overall health improved. He has gone on to achieve incredible feats of endurance on his bike and is recording all his data proving that the mainstream dogma that you need carbohydrates for endurance is BS.

Sean is a deep thinker. He takes his time with his responses but they are worth listening to. Sit back and learn from someone putting their body on the line in an effort to improve global human nutrition. He is also an ambassador for the Noakes Foundation.
