Food for Thought:
How can Performance Nutrition help if you're:
- Losing steam in the 2nd half;
- Cramping up in the backfield;
- Trying to increase muscle mass;
- Struggling to reduce body fat;
- Battling constant cravings?
Aside from sports training, nutrition may be the most important influence on athletic performance. It affects immunity, body mass, hydration, fluid levels, hormones, muscle repair, and recovery from injury. Correctly customizing nutrition to how an individual reacts to foods maximizes the body's ability to care for itself. Then, individualizing nutrition to a person's sport and training demands further feeds success on the playing field by promoting, lasting energy, and mental clarity.
To that end, an important cornerstone of the Performance Nutrition program at the "Fitness Pros" is Metabolic Typing, the most scientifically-advanced nutritional-needs analysis available today. It works from the belief that people—who have unique DNA, fingerprints, etc. — also have individual metabolic/nutritional needs. The fact that one person can go on the Zone Diet, or the Atkins Diet, or the South Beach Diet, etc., and have great success, while others fail miserably highlights the notion that a "one-size-fits-all" nutritional plan is heavily flawed.
After going through current status and future goals with a Performance Nutrition Specialist, clients are helped to become aware of different body states before, during, and after food consumption. This helps to accurately answer a thorough questionnaire whose subjects range from cravings to body composition to behavioral tendencies, etc. Lifestyle variables that can affect metabolism — things like food quality, environmental toxins and physical and emotional stress—are factored in as well. In addition, a questionnaire geared more to lifestyle and performance habits (hours spent on the playing field and the gym, typical menus, hydration, rest and recovery) helps illustrate which body system is dominant in metabolizing foods, what types and ratios of food groups must be maintained, and how performance nutrition has to work with a periodized sports program. Because of the initial learning curve, the program is designed to work optimally with a trained advisor who can guide and make program modifications when needed.
The "Fitness Pros" are always atop of industry information, scientific evidence, and technological breakthroughs. Our new Performance Nutrition Program will help fuel individual athletic success by focusing on the inside and out. A Performance Nutrition Specialist can explain:
- Current Nutritional Status
- Optimal Metabolic Type
- Nutritional imbalances contributing to fatigue, injury, sluggishness
- Energy system needs for sport-specificity
- Corrective Nutritional Strategy
- Food and hydration strategy for pre- and post-workout and pre- and post-competition
