This week we dive deep into a number of subjects like nutrition, diet, health, and lifelong wellness with Wendi Irlbeck. Wendi is one of the biggest names in sport's nutrition. Wendi combines her roots on the farm with her experience in strength & conditioning, and college sports to create strong connections for global health. Irlbeck has worked with teams, individual athletes, and the general public to be an absolute positive on the lives she works with daily. We had a good conversation on a number of subjects that some are afraid to approach. Wendi dives feet first into these subjects without hesitation because her mission is to educate no-holds-barred. It was a pleasure to sit down with Wendi. 

We open our discussion about her path to nutrition. Her faith and mentors have played a heavy role in what she has done as a nutritionist, dietician, and lifestyle coach. Wendi continues our conversation on the difference in the diet for types of people and their athletic goals. She explains in detail the importance of breakfast and breaks it down into three different types of people. She and I then discuss vegan and plant-based diets. Wendi teaches us how to handle the diet with young people along. Miss Irlbeck and I dialogue about the best strategies on how to do the diet successfully. She and I follow this with a conversation on supplements. We talk about creatine and pre-workout along with their potential value for athletes. However, she reminds the audience that putting supplements before a good diet is like rearranging furniture on a sinking ship! Wendi goes on to educate us on five things that she believes need to be cleared up on nutrition. She and I then discuss how nutrition can be leveraged to get better sleep.
