Sports Nutrition
Do you struggle to fit in all your workouts AND get enough sleep? Are you unsure of what you should be eating? Have you had nagging injuries keep your from reaching your full potential? I have personally been through all of these struggles and have learned some tricks and tips to overcome them!
As a registered and licensed dietitian, I have gone through a lot of training specifically in sports nutrition. I have also been certified through the American College of Sports Medicine as a Health Fitness Specialist, and have been coaching runners for years. I have used my training on myself, as well as many other people, including several Ironman triathletes, to learn how to best meet the needs of endurance athletes.
All of this experience enables me to empower you with the ability to learn what and when to eat as well as what type of QUALITY workouts to include to maximize your potential while minimizing your risk of injury and save you time!
Athletes have very unique nutritional needs. These needs are influenced by age, gender, climate and sport. In addition, nutrition needs change during certain periods of training. For example, and endurance athlete who is going through a “base” period of training will have different carbohydrate/protein/fat needs than that same athlete will during competition build up, as well as during competition.
As a vegetarian athlete myself, I know first hand the impact that proper nutrition has on performance. No matter whether you are a professional or an amateur, the right nutrition, at the right time, will make all the difference in how well you perform and how good you feel before, during, and after an event.
Athletes who are vegetarian or have celiac or other food sensitivities have even more specialized needs, and I have the advanced clinical skills in these areas to meet those needs.
