Dr Dean St Mart (OLD)

My name is Dr Dean St Mart - Product Formulator for Supplement Needs and fitness industry renowned Pharmacologist.

I’ve been competing in bodybuilding since the age of 23, but prior to that, I was a World Champion Semi Contact Kickboxer. An accident in training led to smashed bones in my right foot, and my Dad who is an IFBB bodybuilding judge suggested to take up bodybuilding - the rest is history.

I hold a Double 1st Class Honours degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry from National University of Ireland Maynooth where I finished top of the university and hold a PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry and Fluorescence Spectroscopy. 

My interests lie in Performance Enhancing Drug (PED) pharmacology, novel drug design, health supplementation and applying Functional Medicine to athletes to improve their health. My love of Functional Medicine is what led to the creation of a lot of the Dr Dean range within the Supplement Needs brand. Through this, I have gained the respect of the majority of the fitness industry for my no-nonsense approach when it comes to PED safety and health management.

On a more personal note, I’m married to my wife Morgan who was also a Bikini competitor and a Level 4 Sports Injury Massage Therapist, and we have 2 beautiful boys Calum and Charlie.
