I'm sharing 6 surprising benefits from fixing your gymnast's fueling issues that they might see over the course of weeks, months, and years of nailing their nutrition. Of course every gymnast is different, effort into fueling is different, and overall baseline of where they're starting varies. 

But after years of working exclusively with gymnasts, I want to share with you six common health and performance issues that we often pleasantly see resolve when a gymnast gets appropriate nutrition. And we're not just talking about less injuries (which of course is a big one). I'm talking about some of the subtle nuances your gymnast just thought were part of the sport and along for the ride. 

In this episode you'll hear about six results we see when your gymnast fixes her fueling issues:  

• Gut health, constipation, bloating and other GI issues improve
• Nutrition's role in immunity
• Better skin health (huge one for self-conscious teens and preteens!)
• Menstrual health and nutrition link
• Reducing headaches (no it's not just a hydration thing)
• Improvements on mental blocks when your gymnast is properly fueled
