Dave Scott Weekend Winner Claims His Prize

The winner of the BodyHealth drawing to win a personal training weekend with 6-time Ironman World Champion, Dave Scott plus a case of MAP recently claimed his prize. Winner Dr. Alan Vinitsky flew to Dave's hometown of

Boulder , CO

and spent two days soaking up knowledge from “The Man”.

Afterwards, he sent us this glowing letter of thanks . . .

Dear BodyHealth,

My thanks to you for sponsoring the MAP contest and the weekend with Dave Scott! I am writing to let you know that the weekend just passed was exceptional from start to finish.

Dave Scott is indeed an inspiration and lives up to his legend in every sense of the word. He has an astute eye for detecting the subtleties of form and position and has a keen way of presenting information. In particular, Dave helped me revise my form on the treadmill and as a result, I was able to conquer the Chautauqua Mesa Trail while I was in Boulder.

My interest in MAP was based on my independent discovery of the need to replenish amino acids. My further exploration and research on the relationship of methylation to both protein destruction and protein restoration confirmed for me the need to utilize MAP as a foundation in the healing process – not just for athletes but for patients of all ages with chronic diseases and medical conditions. I shared my research with Dave during the weekend, and we com pared notes on how we use MAP. Not surprisingly, we came up with similar needs and uses – in the athletic context.

Dave is in the lore of triathletes but it's what he does day by day – in groups and one-to-one that multiplies geometrically. His self-deprecating manner, easy banter, careful and caring listening and persistent encouragement are enduring forces that bring results!

Thanks again for making my weekend with Dave Scott one of life's great adventures!

A toast to good health!

Alan Vinitsky, MD.
