From a young age, our founder, Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky, PhD, MD, FRCP(C), has walked the line between athlete and scientist.
A member of his high school track & field and football teams, these athletic endeavours sparked his curiosity about the competitive advantage nutrition could have on performance.
Fast-forward 25 years, Dr. Tarnopolsky is an award-winning neuromuscular and neurometabolic specialist, having spent his career investigating the therapeutic potential of nutritional supplements for those suffering with health disorders.
This Spring, Dr. Tarnopolsky was a guest on the Degrees of Health Podcast, sharing his insights into the role mitochondria plays in our health & longevity. During the podcast, he shared what he eats and how he trains for a long and healthy life.
Based on years of personal experience and years of research, it’s something of a longevity roadmap.
Dr. Tarnopolsky has kept his nutrition routine simple but effective. He believes intense diets, restrictive guidelines, and complicated recipes make a nutrition plan harder to stick to, and therefore, less effective. He supplements with StayAbove to fill any gaps.
Breakfast: Cereal, multi-grain toast, milk, and berries
Lunch: He fasts during the day due to his busy scheduleDinner: Massive salad for dinner with nuts, cheese, veggies, and meat with a side of rice or bread

After spending his life as a top-sport endurance athlete, Dr. Tarnopolsky’s fitness routine is more rigorous than most, even in his 60’s. He’s added strength training every day to maintain muscle mass for optimal health, functional movement, and longevity as he ages.
He trains seven days per week, admitting he probably shouldn’t but he keeps a close eye on his nutrition to ensure adequate recovery.
