The Reach Your Peak Experience (A Sports Nutrition Podcast)

Wondering what a diet break is?
Curious to learn why diet breaks exist?\
Do diet breaks even work?

In this episode, I share the fundamental truths about diet breaks - telling you what you need to know about the purpose of diet breaks and if they are worth considering. 

Diet breaks are a strategy typically used in fat loss situations and the term has been thrown around a lot in recent years. However, like any nutrition strategy, you need to understand WHAT is is and WHY it is used. This ensures you don’t chase every piece of advice or diet tip under the sun. 

As a Sports Dietitian, I have an expert perspective of diet breaks and will share the 101 that you need to know before you consider the relevance of diet breaks in your own plan. 

In today’s podcast, I will cover:

• Diet breaks…what are they? 
• Why are diet breaks used? (the purpose explained)
• Do diet breaks actually work? 

Listen to the full episode to learn more about real nutrition and the experiences of a Sports Dietitian.

Hope you enjoy!

What is the “why” behind your fat loss goal?

In this episode, I discuss the importance of purpose behind your goals - specifically for fat loss as it is a goal that has the power to bring you forward or set you back in confusion and frustration. 

Simon Sinek wrote the powerful book, ‘Start With Why’, to show how the most successful businesses in the world harnessed the power of asking ‘why’ to drive themselves forward and create an impact in this world.

Your goals can use the same power to drive you forward and achieve more than you ever thought possible. Why is the driving force behind all we do and achieve, so why should you fat loss efforts miss out?

So how can you use the power of “why” to level up and reach your peak results?

In today’s podcast, I will cover:

• The power of ‘why’ (why Start With Why?)
• Mistakes people make with fat loss goals
• ‘Why” in action (how you can start using WHY to achieve your nutrition & health goal/s)

Such a common question among athletes I coach, and one that I will guide you on.

Are you wondering if Tart Cherry Juice is the next big supplement?
Asking yourself, does tart cherry juice work?

Curious how tart cherry juice helps an athlete?

In this episode, I explore Tart Cherry juice supplementation from an athletic and sporting context to help you determine if it is worth consideration for yourself. 

Tart cherry juice is a functional food supplement which makes it a bit different to other types of supplements. However, it is still used as a supplementary tool for performance so needs to be looked at from the same lens of scrutiny to ensure you aren’t wasting your time, money, or health. 

The supplement industry is a billion dollar industry that isn’t necessarily focused on helping you. That is why it is important to get the truth about supplements and that is why I’m here to help you as a Sports Dietitian. 

So Tart Cherry…new performance enhancement friend or another time wasting foe?

In today’s podcast, I will cover:

• What is Tart Cherry? 
• Tart Cherry in action (what are the benefits?)
• How does Tart Cherry hold up in the research
• Tart Cherry recommendations (what should you do?)
