Sports Nutrition
Eat to nourish, energize and flourish!TM are words for anyone to live by, but are even more important for athletes to follow. When athletes eat the proper foods at the appropriate times, energy, high performance and quick recovery can be expected. The trick is knowing what foods to eat and when.
Ann partners with her clients to come up with individual plans based on performance goals, lifestyle, health parameters and specific demands of the sport. While the majority of Ann’s clients are runners, cyclists and triathletes, Ann is well-versed and understands the demands of a wide variety of sports. I’ve helped numerous athletes with a variety of issues, including:
- healthy weight loss
- race day nutrition plan
- nutrition periodization for the training cycle
- target certain health conditions related to sports such as anemia, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, muscle cramps, GI issues and recurring fractures
- improve performance through nutrition
- proper weight gain
- off-season weight maintenance
- ensure nutrition adequacy for those adhering to special diets
Ann’s goal is to help athletes perform at the best of their abilities by working with them to create a sound nutrition program that fuels their performance and health needs.
