Stay at the Top 17. How Elite Athletes Use Nutrition to Perform - And How You Can Too
When it comes to nutrition, no one leverages it’s power quite like an elite athlete. They (along with their coaches) know that the best outcomes for wellbeing and performance can occur when you are utilising nutrition in its best form.
But what exactly does this look like?
For me and my clients this means using the 5 levels in a sort of pyramid plan and layering them on top of each other in just the right way so that they all work together.
For this episode I want to give you a peek behind the curtain to see exactly what these levels look like and how you can use them as well.
In this episode I share:
- How learning about nutrition can be compared to exploring a new city
- What a 'life audit process' is’ and why you should do it
- The 5 levels of the ‘performance nutrition hierarchy of priorities’
- Why we need to look at energy balance first
- The importance of timing and periodisation
- How gut health optimisation is also vital to your wellbeing and performance
- What exactly it means to look at your ‘performance levels’
- The areas and ways to look at supplements
Key Quotes
“If you’re not sleeping properly, not eating properly, if you’re not moving and you want to just layer in all the supplements they are going to be a drop in the ocean.”
“Whether you’re an Olympic athlete, business owner or CEO, for you to perform at your best you need to be the healthiest version of yourself”
