Tom Dowd

Tom Dowd may be in the spotlight now thanks to Performance Inspired, but he comes from humble beginnings. After starting his career in the supermarket business, he made the leap to the health market when he became a District Manager for GNC and ending his career as an EVP, GM, and CMO for GNC – a perfect fit given his interests in nutrition and fitness.

Then, when he met Mark Wahlberg, everything started coming together. The two became fast friends and bonded over their ideas for a line of lifestyle nutrition, power-packed whey protein powders, energy bars, and supplements for anyone who wants to perform at their best. “Our products are formulated to deliver incredible results, whether you’re a weekend warrior, a pro athlete, or a hardcore bodybuilder,” Tom says. “They aren’t junked up with things you can’t pronounce.”​

Tom has seen firsthand that people are more active today and looking for products that help them feel more energized, get plenty of clean protein, recover quicker, get ripped, or drop a few pounds. “That’s why we started with a strong base of core products,” Tom explains. “We already have a line of whey protein powders and protein bars on the market, and we’re heavy into product development for ready-to-drink products (RTDs) and additional protein powders.
