Episode 1: 3 Myths about Fueling the Gymnast

Welcome to the Fuel the Routine, a five-episode series dedicated to unlocking optimal performance and recovery with nutrition. 

If you're listening to this, I'm assuming you worry about whether your high-level gymnast is eating enough, wonder what are the “right” kinds of food you should feed them, are tired of watching them struggle with injuries every season, can’t get them on board with nutrition, or maybe all of the above, and you are looking for help. 

This is where I come in! My goal during this series is to break down how to fuel your gymnast and help them learn to use nutrition to support their performance and their longevity in the sport WITHOUT the stress or overwhelm with actionable steps you can start immediately. If you want to help your gymnast have a happy, healthy, and successful competition season next year, you’re in the right place!

During this episode, I tackle three myths that gymnast parents are told about nutrition and fueling their gymnast and what you need to know instead.

In this episode we cover:

•       Can a gymnast only eat “clean” if they want to be successful? [2:34]

•       How much food does a gymnast really need to fuel this sport? [3:33]

•       Does gymnastics require a different set of food rules than other “normal” sports? [7:16]
