Dr. Garrett L. Smith is a licensed naturopathic physician in three states (AZ, WA, OR) who practices primarily clinical nutrition and functional medicine in Tucson, Arizona. He has written online for 180 Degree Health, The Performance Menu, and the Weston A. Price Foundation. He earned his naturopathic medical degree from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and his B.S. in Physiology from the University of Arizona. Also a certified strength coach, he has trained and competed in many sports, ranging from baseball to triathons to Olympic weightlifting. He can be found online at www.DrGarrettSmith.com. His main goal is to teach people that good health can be obtained without the typical neurotic and fear-driven approaches that have become so trendy in these times.
After three years of declining performances and difficulty recovering from workouts (things I had attributed to age and constant overtraining), I decided to contact 'Dr. G.' because I knew he had firsthand experience with what I put my body through doing CrossFit and Olympic lifting. The way I felt turned around in less than a month, and my athletic performance followed suit within three months. I was restored to my previous abilities.
