In today’s episode, Cheryl Zonkowski, the owner of Catalyst Nutrition, joins us to share her inspiring career journey. Originally on a pre-med track at the University of Florida, Cheryl’s passion for sports and nutrition led her to a career shift that completely transformed her life.

Now, as the owner of a thriving nutrition business in Virginia Beach, Cheryl works closely with athletes to optimize their performance through tailored nutritional advice.

She shares practical tips on the importance of fueling your body, staying hydrated, and why sleep is actually the most important factor in reaching your fitness goals (hint: it’s even more important than nutrition and workouts!).

If you’re looking to take your fitness and nutrition to the next level, this episode is packed with tips.

We chat about everything from how to balance life’s chaos while staying healthy to the key role nutrition plays in athletic performance. Whether you're just starting out on your fitness journey or you're a seasoned athlete, there’s something for everyone in this conversation.
