ATHLETES & ADVENTURERS

If you're an endurance athlete or extreme athlete and are looking for a more competitive edge, Dr. Shackelton will work closely with you to develop a program that will take you where you want to go, whether it's high altitude climbing, deep sea diving or somewhere in between.

As the Naturopath on staff for the 1998 "Ester-C Everest Challenge: The First Disabled Climb", Dr. Shackelton provided comprehensive nutritional support prior to, during and after the expedition. Climbers who adhered strictly to their customized protocols climbed with no complications and did not need steroids or medications. Most climbers need to take drugs to prevent cerebral edema and fluid in their lungs at some point.
