The Gymnast Nutritionist® Podcast

This is a must-listen for gymnasts and parents! 💗Christina’s knowledge is unmatched—she has been a life-saver for our level 10 gymnast!

As a parent of two young gymnasts, finding the right nutritional guidance was crucial. I hired Christina from "The Gymnast Nutritionist" to help my daughters, aged 10 and 6, who were facing strength and energy challenges. We scheduled 1:1 sessions with her team to address these issues. From our first meeting with Melissa, Christina’s colleague, her expertise and empathetic approach stood out. Melissa took the time to understand each of my daughters' specific needs and training routines. Her advice was highly personalized and perfectly aligned with their athletic demands. A pivotal recommendation from Melissa was to get blood work done for my older daughter, revealing anemia. With Melissa's guidance, we adjusted my daughter’s diet to include iron-rich foods, leading to remarkable improvements in her energy levels, strength, and performance. For my younger daughter, Melissa provided practical strategies to ensure she stayed properly fueled, especially during competitions. This helped maintain her energy levels and improve her performance, avoiding mid-competition slumps. Working 1:1 with Melissa, alongside the broader program from "The Gymnast Nutritionist," has been invaluable. The personalized guidance and the comprehensive support have significantly enhanced my daughters' health and athletic performance. I highly recommend their services to any parent looking to optimize their child's nutrition for better sports outcomes. Thank you to Christina and Melissa for your dedication and for being such an integral part of our gymnastics journey!

My daughter had started her competitive career and I have always worried about fueling her body and recovery makes me feel better that I can help her and my son who is also an athlete.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for months and even repeating some episodes. I took some of the recommendations and had my daughter (age 7 and level 3) do some labs and discovered despite all our attempts at healthy, balanced high caloric intake, she was iron deficient. I am grateful for the information I’ve already learned and will absolutely continue to follow her podcasts. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Christina!!!
