Fish Oil
In swimming, muscle recovery is an omnipresent concern. As a 200 and 400-meter freestyler, I seek to combine strength and endurance during training and competition. While at Stanford, I did my homework both in and out of the classroom as I found that omega-3s are a critical element to muscle recovery and growth and that I, as an elite athlete, needed a reliable, clean and effective source of these essential fatty acids. I found that source in Dr. Sears’ EicoPro EPA/DHA supplement. While using this product I find that my body responds better and recovers faster during and after workouts. I have relied on EicoPro through my years of collegiate swimming and now into my professional career. I can count on EicoPro as a critical element of my physical well-being and competitive success.

SeaHealth Plus
I come from a health-conscious family. I have been raised to appreciate the benefits, both physical and mental, of a smart, balanced diet that is rich in vitamins, antioxidants and minerals not otherwise found in the average meal. SeaHealth Plus provides an important supplement to my normal intake of nutrients. This product is one that I use to include the many critical elements of a healthy diet befitting a world-class athlete. Without these critical elements, ones that cannot be adequately provided by my regular meals, I feel that I would suffer from sickness and fatigue, an unforgivable barrier to success. SeaHealth Plus, along with other Dr. Sears Zone products, allows me to continue the tradition from which I was raised as I move towards and beyond my goals, both in and out of the pool.

Zone Diet
As a psych major, I recall a saying that researchers often use during experiment design: “Garbage in, garbage out.” As an elite athlete that is willing to do what it takes to succeed, I only accept the best from myself. Likewise, I only accept the best from any product that I can trust enough to put into my body. I trust Dr. Sears’ and his products and owe much thanks to his support as I make my run at a coveted spot on the U.S. Olympic team. The dietary balance and physical well-being that I have achieved with the help of Dr. Sears will continue to contribute to my success as an athlete and a healthy human being.
