In this episode, Chris Rosenbloom, a sports nutritionist Ive worked with in the past and continue to admire, joins me to focus on easy nutrition tweaks to boost teen athletic performance. Chris and I both have practical, evidence-based approaches to teen nutrition, especially among teen athletes, so over the course of this episode youll be privy to simple, tangible approaches you can take to help your teen think differently about the food they eat. From the importance of protein and meal planning, to the ways parents can empower their teen athlete to take ownership of their own nutrition, youll walk away from this episode feeling more knowledgeable about your teens overall wellness as an athlete! We also spend some time at the end of this episode dishing on Chris Rosenblooms new book, Food and Fitness After 50, which is a powerful resource for parents, grandparents, or anyone over age 50 looking to retain their health and fitness. Good nutrition wont make an average athlete a great athlete, but poor nutrition can make a great athlete average. - Ron Maughan, exercise physiologist and nutritionist International Olympic Committee You can read the full show notes at www.thenourishedchild.comSubscribe to the show! https://apple.co/2hUj1UA
