Eat to Thrive: Improve your relationship with food

Sport and daily nutrition consulting is much more than learning what and when to eat. Much of my consulting services are dedicated to helping athletes overcome an unhealthy relationship with food and the body. By improving your relationship with your body, you can actually improve your relationship with food, which will ultimately enhance your athletic performance. When you can thank your body (instead of bashing it), respect your body (instead of starving or overexercising it) and appreciate your body (instead of wishing you looked differently), you can make better nutrition choices to optimize health and performance.

In a past article I wrote for March 2015 issue of Triathlete Magazine, I discussed the topic of achieving a performance breakthrough by changing current eating behaviors and body image thoughts. In the article, I'll help you recognize if your body image concerns are steering your relationship with food in an unhealthy direction - and how to address them.

If you are currently struggling with your relationship with food and the body, now is a great time to reach out to a Board Certified Sport Dietitian for help. Don't wait until a performance or health setback occurs. A qualified nutrition expert (RD) can take away the guessing so that you can learn how to nourish and fuel your body for optimal health and performance.
