Ever wonder why your athletes/clients just don’t trust your advice and follow your recommendations? In the age of social media and having “answers” at everyone’s fingertips, all athletes are susceptible to trusting non-evidenced based nutrition advice. In this session, you learn that regardless of the type of athlete you’re dealing with, there are 5 key nutrition non-negotiables when it comes to keeping athletes healthy and avoiding the sport nutrition trends in order to optimize health first, performance second. Angela and Jorie review the most recent advances in sport nutrition and discuss the essential elements of a sport nutrition plan to optimize athletes’ health and success.
