Sports Nutrition
A weight-neutral approach to sports nutrition focuses on optimizing performance and an athlete's relationship with food. This approach helps athletes of all levels fuel their bodies for training, competition, and recovery.
Key areas of focus:
Fueling for Performance: An emphasis on consuming enough macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) to support training demands, replenish glycogen stores, and repair muscle tissue. This ensures the body has the energy it needs to perform at its best.
Strategic Hydration: Encouraging consistent hydration before, during, and after activity, based on an athlete's individual needs. This is crucial for regulating body temperature, preventing muscle cramps, and maintaining peak performance.
Listening to Your Body: Promoting an intuitive approach to eating that honors hunger and fullness cues. This helps an athlete understand their body's needs and build a healthy relationship with food.
Optimizing Recovery: Focusing on nutrient timing, such as consuming a mix of carbohydrates and protein post-exercise to speed up recovery and reduce muscle soreness.
