Whole Athlete provides
nutritional analysis for all periods and levels of training, events
and competition. We encourage balance in one's diet, avoiding
diet fads and extremes, and promote organic, whole foods whenever
possible.
Optimal body mass,
fuel for training and competition, replenishing fuel stores and
fluid levels, rebuilding muscle and energy balance are all directly
influenced by nutrition. An athlete's nutritional approach can
mean the difference between peak performance and sub-optimal energy
and recovery.
A nutritional analysis
is included in the set up of all our training
programs.
