The Adaptable Athlete Podcast Dr. Kelly Romero on The Importance of Gut Health and Micronutrients for Athletes
For Todays Episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kelly Romero!
Dr. Romero (@drkellyromero) is a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor with clinic locations in Scottsdale and Chandler, Arizona. She is also a Certified Exercise Physiologist from the American College of
Sports Medicine. Her practice specializes in sports medicine, regenerative therapies, and hormone management.
Dr. Romero offers an integrative approach when combining modern medical science with natural alternative treatments. Her focus is to provide comprehensive and preventative care that meets the needs of each patient.
As an athlete herself, she has a passion for working with the athletic population and helping them achieve a higher level of sport performance. She provides individualized healthcare, so each patient can experience optimal health, longevity, and better quality of life.
In today’s episode we cover:
- Dr. Romero’s journey as a healthcare practitioner
- The importance of gut health and how It can impact athletic performance
- What are the most critical micronutrients for athletes are…including a deep dive into a couple of them
- What the different b/t food allergy and sensitivity is
- How eating seasonally can help optimize your nutrition
- What the difference in pro and prebiotics are and what you might look for when buying one
And of course, we cover so much more. I’ve worked w/ Dr. Romero in the past for some gut health issues and she has helped me tremendously.
I’m very happy that we were able to discuss some of these topics today because the areas of gut health and athlete nutrition are not understand very well.
We really only touch in the tip of the iceberg in this conversation, so a follow up podcast is definitely needed….In the meantime, I’ll link to all of Dr. Romero’s info so you can read her blogs and take a look at her content….I hope you enjoy the show!
