David Muggeridge
Favourite Thing: Im fascinated by environmental extremes, people climbing everest, running across the Sahara desert or trekking to the south pole, the stress that these environmental factors put on the body and the ways our body can adapt to cope with it is incredible. I am particularly interested in looking at ways that we can help people who perform in these activities either through training or through taking additional supplements to their normal diet.
