Training for the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Ride (a double century) in the late 1980's triggered his interest in nutrition for long distance rides. Unable to find a book on nutrition for bicyclists, he researched the available medical and scientific literature and published “Bicycling Fuel: Nutrition for Bicycle Riders" in 1988.
In the early 1990s, he continued what had now become a hobby, his interest in nutrition and athletic performance, with a dedicated website: Cycling Performance Tips (https://www.cptips.com/).
At work, Dr. Rafoth was being referred increasing numbers of patients with the diagnosis of “fatty liver”, a disease impacted to a great degree by the patient's diet. His work counseling these patients on diet strategies led to an invitation to write a column for a local newspaper. Topics included the impact of diet on health, new discoveries in nutrition science, and the risks of diet fads (keto, paleo, purging). Those columns, which can be found at A Doctor’s Rx (https://adoctorsrx.blogspot.com/) led to the idea for a book based on the science of nutrition.
In his spare time, Dr. Rafoth continues to enjoy traveling, especially when it involves bicycling in some form, as well as keeping up with what’s new new in the areas of nutrition and athletic performance.ver menos
