The Gymnast Nutritionist® Podcast

Episode 91: The Science behind our approach to Fueling Gymnasts


Listen Later

I was asked an interesting question this month about our approach in The Balanced Gymnast® Program. And I found it so compelling, I answered in podcast form!  So, today I'm discussing the how  and why we use a science/research-backed approach to fueling gymnasts. And why that means it's not a one size fits all answer.

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain of how we work as a team, how we designed our program, and how we continue to evolve. We want to make sure we're always supporting and educating our clients with the most up-to-date research. Not fads, not parroted information, not crowd-sourcing, or misinformation. One of the reasons we weave science into our approach to fueling your gymnast is so that you understand the WHY behind what we teach. 

Listen in to hear more about what makes The Balanced Gymnast® Program method so effective and different than everything else out there.

In this episode you'll hear about:

  • Registered Dietitian vs Nutritionist and why those credentials and training matter
  • Why specialized nutritional support looks different for developing athletes than adults
  • How we balance a science backed approach to fueling your gymnast to make your life EASIER
