As a Registered Dietitian for BJJ athletes, teaching you how to optimize your diet for performance is an essential piece of the work I love to do. In this episode, I’m breaking down the latest science of sports nutrition and how to optimize your training efforts and results through specific nutrition adjustments. By tweaking your nutrition with these specific adjustments, you can achieve better performance-based outcomes.
