    Episode 143: Does your doctor KNOW what condition your gymnast is really in when it comes to nutrition and injuries?

    Working with pediatric/adolescent athletes is VERY different than working with professional athletes or the general population adults. Child and adolescent gymnasts train as much as professional athletes (20-30 hours/week) and yet their bodies, their physiology, their psyche is vastly different. Something that really troubles me is the lack of awareness around underfueling, poor growth, and injuries. If I were a sports medicine doctor or orthopedic doctor/surgeon, the VERY f...

    Episode 142: What to do when a gymnastics coach makes a comment about your gymnast's weight

    Hopefully this is never something you encounter as a gymnastics parent. But, what do you when a gymnastics coach makes a comment about your gymnast's weight to you? Or worse, directly to them? But, it's 2025 and we're STILL having issues with coaches making inappropriate comments about gymnast's weight, body, etc. And while it might be coming from a place of "well-intentioned advice", it's ALWAYS inappropriate to tell a gymnast she needs to lose weight. There are some INCREDIBLE coaches...

    Episode 141- How do we prevent disordered eating in gymnastics?

    TW: This is geared more towards parents + coaches If you are a gymnastics coach, health care provider, parent, etc today's podcast is crucial because I'm talking about a question that runs rampant in our sport. Specifically, how do we prevent disordered eating in gymnastics? Unfortunately, there are still WAY too many out there with outdated (and false) ideologies and beliefs about food + nutrition. And these incorrect teachings are perpetuated in too many gyms around the world. These belief...

    Episode 140: What is the "best" type of school for fueling your gymnast?

    When it comes to fueling your gymnast, is there an advantage based on what type of school they attend? Here at The Gymnast Nutritionist®, we have clients from all walks of school life: private, public, hybrid, homeschool, you name it. And we have seen the advantages and disadvantages each situation can present. In an ideal world, your gymnast would be waking up at the same time every morning (after 9 hours of sleep of course), eating breakfast, having a mid morning snack, lunch, prework...

    Episode 139: Acute vs Chronic Underfueling in Gymnasts [Competition Season Edition]

    This biggest mistake we’re seeing high level gymnasts make right now is… Only eating WHEN and IF they “feel hungry enough”… “my gymnast eats well” is 100% subjective This can lead to "acute" underfueling. And a lot of gymnasts are already chronically underfueled, so this is a double whammy to acutely underfuel on competition day as well. Here's what we're seeing from gymnasts right now: 🤸‍♀️If the comp is early afternoon, they try to sleep in as late as possible and have 1 meal be...

    Episode 138: Gymnast Labs, Endurance, and Iron Deficiency/Anemia

    It's a significant topic in sports nutrition, particularly for endurance athletes, so today's podcast episode is all about understanding iron deficiency in gymnasts. In the sports nutrition world we’re super keen on screening for iron deficiency and/or iron deficiency anemia, because we know this can have major detrimental impacts on performance in all athletes. Most coaches, parents and athletes have an understanding of why iron is important in regards to endurance, stamina, powe...

    Episode 137: Will working on nutrition give your gymnast a “complex”

    I hear it from parents all the time. They KNOW their gymnast isn't fueling enough for their training...BUT they worry if they bring up nutrition, they'll either give their gymnast a complex OR it'll just turn into another battle. And they just can't deal with one more thing. I totally get that it's a sensitive topic. Parents worry that if they bring up nutrition that it will cause problems with either the gymnast's relationship with food in their body...or it will cause relationship iss...

    Episode 136: 5 Mistakes gymnasts are making with their nutrition in 2025

    Meet season is in full swing and we're already seeing the same five mistakes gymnasts are making with their nutrition. I know competition season is already stressful enough with nerves, travel, weird session times etc. BUT too often I see gymnasts and their families IGNORE nutrition during season (except for the night before or day of) because of everything else going on. Unfortunately, this is why so many gymnasts get MORE burned out/injured as the season progresses. Why routin...
