Welcome to OpTEAmized, the podcast teaching athletes how tea can optimize longevity, recovery, & performance.

My name is Vince LaPelusa, and my mission is to teach YOU how to work with tea so you can recover quicker, play longer, & be more competitive in your athletic pursuits.

Inflammation…it’s something we all hear about so much, both negatively & positively, but what is really going on with it? What causes inflammation? Are there different types of inflammation? And of course, what teas can help reduce inflammation?!

Today, my guest Chelsea of Indigo Vibes Apothecary & I will answer each and every one of these questions so that maybe next time instead of ibuprofen you can grab a tea!

Chelsea is a yoga & reiki teacher & practitioner, a jiu jitsu athlete, & wizard with herbs & tea, but unfortunately she’s human & has struggled with inflammation for far too long…that is until recently.

So stick around to listen to how Chelsea was able to work with modern medicine & holistic teas to overcome her inflammation & who knows maybe you will start implementing some of her practices? So grab some anti-inflammatory tea, sit back, relax, & enjoy this episode of OpTEAmized!

Welcome to OpTEAmized, the podcast teaching athletes how tea can optimize longevity, recovery, & performance!

My name is Vince LaPelusa, and I am a brazilian jiu jitsu purple belt who has been drinking tea for over 10 years now and my mission is to teach YOU how to work with tea so you can recover quicker, play longer, & be more competitive in your athletic pursuits.

As athletes, we are always striving to be better, whatever that means for you. We are always thinking there is someone out there training harder or I need to grow. This can lead us to harming ourselves if we don’t allow for proper recovery…but how can I recover & still train hard all the time?

Well today, my guest Liz Morgan & I are going to discuss our struggles on our athletic journey & how overtraining led to injuries & struggles that we now realize are not necessary.

Liz Morgan is a Food Culture Transitionista working to transform the food culture into one that deeply heals people and planet. As a Functional Nutritionist, Liz supports her clients to rise above the food fad frenzy and become more wise and loving caretakers of their own bodies and the earth. She specializes in digestion, liver health, blood sugar imbalances, inflammation, food sensitivities, chronic pain, sleep, and thyroid disorders. Liz is a past environmental lawyer, holds a masters degree in environmental policy, and is the author of the Falcon Guide on foraging for wild edible plants in the Rocky Mountains.

In this episode, you are going to hear Liz share her life’s experiences of fatigue, food sensitivities, & a lack of food understanding & how it has led her to heal herself holistically so she can perform the sports she loves. You will also learn how tea can impact our recovery, performance, & digestion! So grab your tea, sit back, relax, & enjoy this episode of OpTEAmized!

As athletes we don’t always perceive tea & our athletic performance going hand in hand. Well, why is that? Is it due to marketing schemes from energy drinks & preworkout companies? Is it simply your own personal belief? Or is it because you simply see tea as hot leaf juice?

Today, my guests Chloe & Aliyah from the Continua Podcast & I are going to start changing your perception of tea for athletic performance & recovery by showing you teas true power!

Aliyah is a marketing professional and previous collegiate dancer from Long Beach, California. She grew up in gymnastics, dance and cheer. She then became a collegiate dancer at USC. She says “my body became my temple at a young age.” She was fascinated by how her actions and choices could uniquely impact her body both positive and negative. Chloe is a Vitality Coach based out of Los Angeles. She coaches people in movement, nutrition, sleep, mindset and recovery. She has a B.A. in Sports Medicine from Pepperdine University and is certified as a Personal Trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine.

In this episode you are going to hear how a month long experiment with raspberry leaf tea & matcha green tea changed these two ladies perspectives of tea for athletic performance & how the right tea could change yours! So now…grab your tea, sit back, relax, & enjoy this episode of OpTEAmized!
