Amazing Athlete Gourmet Cookbook: Based on My Life-Changing Approach to Eating for the Active, Inactive and Wannabe Athlete.

Biographical Note:
Mark Borchetta began his interest in health and fitness in the late 1980's as a personal assistant to a fitness guru named Kathy Smith. Within a couple of years Mark was producing her videos and won major national awards. His professional path led into production and creative marketing, where he won numerous more awards, including an Emmy at USC's prestigious School of Cinematic Arts. He also procured major sponsorship support during the budding years of super stars Danica Patrick and Taylor Swift. He has also worked with many other major celebrities and large corporate brands. However, he has never given up his passion for health and fitness. He has completed three IronMan distance triathlons, over ten half IronMan distance triathlons, has bench-pressed 350 pounds, completed 1,500 push in one day and did 434 burpees in 45 minutes during an exercise class. But Mark's major focus has always been innutrition because he simply has not felt healthy since his mid-twenties. It took him almost thirty years to find the what he considers "the truth" about nutrition. While he recognizes true nutrition is still a very young industry, and there is so much more to learn, his personal experiences through trial and error and countless hours of follow-up research have convinced him there is evidence out there to support the theory that food can cure most ailments, control weight without fighting cravings and affect mental performance. Mark is available for nutritional seminars and motivational speaking. He can be reached on social media by searching for Amazing Athlete Fitness on Facebook and other platforms.

Publisher Marketing:
Author Mark Borchetta is an entrepreneur who has worked in the world of entertainment with some of the biggest celebrities in the world, including Taylor Swift and Danica Patrick. He is also a Motivational Speaker and Nutrition Coach. Into his forties, Mark began to run into a variety of symptoms of near-debilitating autoimmune challenges. For several years he searched every avenue he could trying to find a cure. While doctors could only help a little, Mark was ultimately able to discover that the cure is food. As Hippocrates said over 2,000 years ago, "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food." The Amazing Athlete Gourmet Cookbook is Mark's first publication to address how industrialized food, along with a wide level of misconceptions about food in general, is causing a host of concerns. The core affliction is chronic inflammation, which is being identified as the root cause of countless diseases. Today, it is estimated that more than 75% of American adults are suffering from at least one chronic or autoimmune disease. This book first addresses these concerns, then offers alternative recipes you can make at home, and finally provides guidance how to shop and eat out. For Mark, the results of this approach have been completely renewed energy, fully-restored mental acuity and a return to personally-fulfilling athletic abilities. At age 53, he began setting personal records in triathlons, and now, one year later, he regularly does 1,000 pushups in a day and he can run a mile as fast as he could in high school. The Amazing Athlete Gourmet Cookbook is Mark's first publication to touch upon this remarkable foundation which has helped him regain his new lease on life. Even though he was not looking for a weight loss solution, he found that he lost almost 30 pounds, all the while maintaining his strength, lean body mass, and improving his endurance sports performance. More importantly, Mark feels he has regained 100% of his mental acuity. His return to health has shown the concepts in the Amazing Athlete Gourmet Cookbook are worth exploring on a deep level! They have not only worked for Mark, but for others as well. His goal is to share his approach in the hope it will work for you, too! On a final note, this edition features Black & White photos throughout the book.
