About this episode
You can do everything right and still get blindsided.In this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I sit down with Tommy Dolan, a former elite rugby athlete, husband, and father who has survived multiple near-death experiences, including a melanoma diagnosis and sudden cardiac arrest.This conversation is not about fear. It is about perspective. We talk about discipline, training, health, and responsibility. We also brought up what really matters when your body reminds you that control is limited. If you train hard and take your responsibilities seriously, this episode will resonate.Tune in now.Timestamp:00:00 – Heart Attack Survival Story00:34 – Introduction to Tommy Dolan02:22 – Family and Career Today04:22 – Work Ethic and Athletic Roots08:02 – Life After Competitive Sports15:29 – Early Near-Death Experiences21:52 – Melanoma Diagnosis24:23 – Cardiac Arrest and CPR29:26 – Brain Injury and Recovery33:29 – Training, Aging, and Identity48:13 – Nutrition, Hormones, and Fasting55:03 – Final LessonTommy Dolan’s integrative health partner:Joi + Blokes — men’s hormone optimization and personalized care.Links & Resources:Connect with Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/Learn more about Ben’s coaching program: www.bodysystems.comSubscribe to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-smart-nutrition-made-simple-show-with-ben-brown/id1244912234Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4H8vUlwYvKcAXZOv84sFgT
