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.
