We're back with Part 2 of the Top 10 Gymnast Nutrition Myths! I'm discussing myths #6-10 that are still so pervasive in the gymnastics culture and how they are ultimately hurting your gymnast's performance and longevity in the sport. 

There is a surplus of myths floating around out there regarding the best nutrition for a high-level gymnast. And for whatever reason, these myths are repeated and repeated until everyone just accepts them as fact. 

It’s no wonder we see gymnasts with injuries that won’t heal, utter exhaustion, severe under fueling, and ultimately quitting the sport they once loved

In this episode you'll learn: 

• Why clean eating isn't the performance guarantee you've been promised
• Why body diversity in gymnastics is real and necessary for healthy gymnasts
• Why public health sodium guidelines aren't always relevant to the high level athlete (and can cause more harm than good)
