    Guest: The Life of a Track Athlete

    My guest today is Nicole, who is, among many other wonderful things, a Track and Field athlete. I love talking to athletes. They fascinate me. I always want to know what drives them, what goes through their head and what challenges they struggle with or overcome.  If you are like me, other than listening to this episode, you can check episodes 2 with Stacey and 6 with Jordan, in which they share their own input about the role of nutrition in their sport.  As a nutritionist, I’m also fascinated by the role of nutrition in athletes. I believe we can learn from anyone we choose to listen to, so I enjoy learning about athletes’ food intake, their routines, the struggles they may experience, and other facts that expand my view and help me grow more in my profession. And that’s exactly what my conversation is about with Nicole.  She shares some interesting information that is personal to her, but also some common struggles of an athlete. After my conversation with Nicole, I will touch on a very sensitive subject we discussed and dig deeper into it. Have a listen, and I’ll see you on the other side of the conversation.

    How to Succeed with Fat Loss

    You know it - To lose fat, we must be in a caloric deficit. But that is not what you wanted to hear. What you want to know is how to overcome all the less favourable things that we think come with being in a caloric deficit: Feeling hungry, being miserable, not being able to eat what you love most, doing cardio 7 times a week, feeling alienated from people throughout the process, etc… In my nutrition consulting business, I see over and over again that those who practice the following two key and crucial points, will not only reach their goals but will maintain them too. I hope that after listening to this short episode, you will feel more empowered to start or continue focusing on your fat loss goal, should you have one.

    The 3 most common questions you are not asking

    In this episode, I am going to address the top 3 common concerns most of you have but feel uncomfortable saying out loud when it comes to weight loss or working on changing your body composition. My concern is, that although many of you have a certain nutritional goal, you will end up deciding not to do anything about it, just because you are not aware of the answers to these three concerns. So I’m here to help. And I hope this episode will eliminate a certain objection you may have when thinking of working towards a nutritional goal.

    Sleep, Weight & Health

    Why is sleep important? Can sleep deprivation affect our weight? In this episode, I talk about the importance of sleep and provide 10 things you could do to improve your sleep. Why should you look into that, you may ask? Because sleep is fundamental to human health and well-being and impacts every aspect of our lives. It is crucial for physical health, cognitive function, emotional well-being, productivity, and performance.  I cannot overstate the significance of getting good quality and quantity of sleep.
