Introduction:
Hello, High Performers! Happy National Nutrition Month! Although many of you may not be aware of this industry-only month, we thought it would be a great opportunity to review our nutrition habits and make sure we're on track for the month and beyond. As you know, we've been focusing on "the pivot" and "progress" in the past two seasons. So this month, we'll be talking about specific nutrition topics that are relevant and timely. To kick off the month, I'd like to share the first five things I work on with an athlete entrepreneur in the first ninety days to help them achieve those "Can't Believe I Made It" moments in their life. Let's get started!
Big Pod Takeaways
Creating a balanced plate with protein, carbohydrates, and colorful fruits/veggies is a foundational step in improving nutrition.
Prioritizing protein and fiber intake can support muscle growth, body recomposition, and overall wellness.
Quality sleep is essential for regeneration, recovery, and optimal cognitive performance.
Non-exercise activity, such as walking and daily movement, plays a significant role in energy expenditure and overall health.
Setting milestones and celebrating small wins can help maintain motivation and track progress in nutrition and wellness goals.
