The Importance of Carbohydrates for Optimal Performance

In this episode, I had a conversation with my friend and fellow nutrition practitioner, Alyssa Neill, about how to increase your energy levels using food.

What you consume and when you consume it can have profound effects on your energy levels, and we’ll discuss the ins and outs of all of them. Even if you don’t “struggle” with energy levels, it’s quite possible that your energy could be even more on-point than it is now, and that can be low hanging fruit in terms of your climbing performance.

I’m running a Nutrition for Climbers Program from August 28th through September 25th, all about how to improve your energy levels, lean out, and fuel for performance and recovery, as well as how to deal with some of the emotional eating issues I’ve talked about on this podcast. You can enroll until this Thursday, August 27th, here.

The topics we covered in regards to increasing your energy levels:

• Carb intake
• Protein intake
• Meal timing
• Crag days
• Caffeine intake
• Sleep
• Water consumption

• My new Nutrition for Climbers program (enrollment ends 8/27/20)
• Do one-on-one nutrition consulting with me
