Welcome back to the 5-part Performance Base Layer Series on the Purple Patch Podcast. This series aims to emphasize the importance of the foundational aspect of high performance, which is the performance base layer. It's built on the foundation of positive habits that foster a strong physiological readiness for good physical and mental health year-round and for years to come. The Purple Patch pillars of performance, which include endurance, strength, nutrition, and recovery, make up the core elements of the performance base layer.

Each week of the series, we have focused on a different pillar of performance. We started with endurance and movement, followed by strength and resistance training. Now, we move on to the third pillar: nutrition. Similar to the previous episodes, we will discuss this pillar from two perspectives. The first perspective is called "life performance," which focuses on anyone who seeks to improve their longevity, workplace performance, parenting skills, or anything related to their daily lives. The second perspective focuses on endurance athletes and highlights the specific needs and demands of seeking a podium finish.

In this episode, Matt shares insights on developing a well-rounded approach to nutrition to help maintain health, get battle-ready, improve resilience and adaptability, and ultimately leave you poised for long-term success in any arena.

Throughout this episode, we will use case studies and examples to highlight the importance of adopting healthy nutrition habits. We will also provide resources to assist you in your journey to better nutrition and developing your performance base layer.
