Episode 99: Dangerous Assumptions to Make about Gymnasts + Nutrition


Listen Later

What are the most dangerous assumptions people can make about gymnasts and their nutrition needs? Unfortunately, there quite a few. And I'm going over 8 of them in today's podcast episode.

Gymnasts and parents are SHOCKED…

✨When they see how much better they feel and perform with optimized meals/snacks throughout the day.  🚀It’s not rocket science. 🥵It’s not “random” as to why you feel tired, slow, sluggish, hangry or you’re constantly injured. More than likely, your gymnast is just underfueled 🪫

But, if we’re being honest…😳A lot of gymnasts are stubborn and think everything is “fine”. And that right there is one of the MOST dangerous assumptions one can make about nutrition for gymnasts. I’m not saying you should go looking for trouble…

❓But are you *really* optimizing everything you can to improve your performance and recovery? Probably not. There are probably things related to nutrition that aren’t even on your radar. And that's where I come in. To help parents and gymnasts OPTIMIZE nutrition for performance, health, and longevity in this crazy sport. If you’re ready to help your gymnast take her performance to the NEXT level this season…

It’s time to stop ignoring the #1 thing that can make the biggest difference in all areas of your gymnast's journey and beyond. Listen in to today's episode to learn more.
