Description

In this episode I explain my personal experience, symptoms and recovery from COVID-19 and how it influenced my nutrition and training. Please remember this podcast is not suitable medical advice and is not reflective of everybody's experiences with coronavirus. I share how I listened to my body to tailor my training, and how in hindsight I would have done things different in my rehabilitation and return to run, including a bit more diaphragmatic breathing and yoga. I also share how important it is to continue nourishing your body through a sickness, while also remembering that nutrition is best as a preventative medicine. I discuss the role that Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Magnesium, and Zinc may play in coronavirus and fighting off respiratory infections.   If you find that you struggle with your nutrition during times of adversity, that is exactly why having a nutrition coach can be helpful. From helping you fuel for peak performance, as well as through sickness and injury. Please contact me if you feel you need more support for day to day, or season to season fueling by heading to www.riseupnutritionrun.com. You can always book a free call with me to discuss your needs!

As a Sports Dietitian for NCAA, professional, and recreational athletes alike, I know how powerful nutrition can be. I also know how quickly a female athlete can fall into the trap of disordered eating, under fueling, or amenorrhea which severely limits their health and physical potential. That’s why I’m sharing my knowledge of female-specific nutrition, training, body image, and mindset to help you fuel your body to perform at your highest level. Whether you are looking for a competitive edge with your nutrition training and mindset, or looking to overcome harmful nutrition habits and body acceptance, you’ve come to the right place!
