You might! Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies (up to 70% of athletes may have insufficient levels!).

You may be at higher risk if you:
• Train and/or work indoors
• Train early morning or late evening when UV is low
• Have darker skin pigmentation
• Live at northern latitudes
• Consistently wear sunscreen or covering clothing

Why does it matter?
Vitamin D plays key roles in:
- Bone health & reduced stress fracture risk
- Muscle function & neuromuscular performance
- Inflammation reduction & recovery
- Immune system support

So if you’re deficient, you face a higher risk of stress fractures and respiratory infections, slower recovery from injury, greater inflammation, and compromised muscle function. In short: deficiency negatively affects your health AND can sideline your season.

While you can get vitamin D from a few food sources (fatty fish, egg yolks, UV-exposed mushrooms, and fortified foods), diet alone usually isn’t enough to fix a deficiency. Your body can make vitamin D from sunlight, but many athletes don’t get adequate sun exposure.

What should you do?
- Talk to your doctor about getting your 25(OH)D level checked, especially if you have any of the risk factors mentioned above.
- If you’re deficient, work with your dietitian on a supplementation plan (vitamin D3 is preferred!).
- Take your supplement with a meal that has fat for better absorption.
- Once your levels are sufficient, a maintenance dose may be needed to keep you there (2,000 IU/day is generally safe and effective)

NOTE: This isn’t a “more is better” situation. Because vitamin D is fat-soluble, your body stores it rather than flushing out the excess. That means taking too much for too long without monitoring can actually cause problems. But too little won’t fix a deficiency.

The right dose depends on YOUR levels, YOUR risk factors, and YOUR goals. The only way to know where you stand is a simple blood test.🩸 Get tested and get a plan. Don’t guess!

"I have benefitted in so many ways by working with Maria over the past 5 months. First off, I have lost a significant amount of weight, which has drastically improved my body composition. Additionally, the suggested changes to my diet have increased and stabilized my energy levels throughout the day. All in all, I have seen both mental and physical benefits that cannot be overstated.

The most notable results I have experienced are losing over 30 pounds and about 10% body fat. There is no single piece of information from Maria that I can single out as being the most impactful. I truly believe that taking into account everything she has told me, from fitness to food, and applying it holistically on a consistent basis has been key to my success.

I recommend working with Maria to pretty much everyone I talk to and am trying to spread her gospel as far and wide as possible. I look forward to continuing on my health journey with Maria’s help and can’t wait to see the results 5 months and even 5 years from now.” - Austin

🚨These signs aren't just "part of the grind;" they're biological feedback that you aren't fueling enough to support your training.🚨

1. When you chronically underfuel, your body's hunger signals get scrambled: leptin drops, stress hormones rise, and your digestion slows down. That's why you don't feel hungry or get bloated after meals even though you haven't eaten enough.

2. A 2025 review of 59 studies found that low energy availability decreases endurance, strength, power, and coordination. When your body doesn't have enough fuel, it shifts into energy-conservation mode and breaks down muscle faster than it can rebuild. Your body will ALWAYS choose survival over adaptation.

3. Underfueling has been linked to reduced sleep quality, less REM and deep sleep, and greater sleep debt. Your cortisol (stress hormone) stays elevated, disrupting your body's normal hormonal rhythm. Now you stay in "fight or flight" mode, so you're exhausted but wired.

4. Inadequate fueling reduces bone formation while increasing bone breakdown, weakening your skeleton over time. It also alters immune cell function and increases oxidative stress, leaving you more vulnerable to illness.

5. Ladies: Underfueling suppresses key hormones like estrogen and progesterone by shutting down signals from your brain to your ovaries (the HPO axis). This is what causes irregular or missing periods. It's your body's way of saying it doesn't have enough energy to support both training AND normal function.
Men: The same thing happens to you, just through a different axis. Energy deficits lower testosterone production over time, resulting in decreased energy, reduced muscle mass, low libido, and impaired recovery.

The good news? ALL of these are reversible with the right fueling strategy.

"I got back into cycling in my mid 50s and have been vegan going on 6 years. Eve pointed out my carb/protein intake needed a lot of correction. I was given a daily plan for proper daily intake, and a nutrition plan for ride/race days. Eve also worked diligently on getting correct hydration schedule to achieve balanced hydration. I had no idea how important nutrition was as part of a training plan!

I’d go so far to say 40-50% of my performance progress can be attributed to proper nutrition. As a result of the plan, I had noticeable improvement in my training. All my metrics improved exponentially. I felt strong and had zero “bonking” on long rides and races.

I also learned that this isn’t just for a race or training day, it’s an everyday lifestyle change. It is extremely valuable to know how much and at what levels of carbs, protein, fats, and vitamins to consume daily. And the race day nutrition is an absolute game changer! I didn’t have to think about my hydration during races or training, just followed the plan.

I know that any athlete would benefit from Nutriworks services, but especially anyone that is on a vegetarian/vegan diet. I also think that anyone who is in the “experienced” age group would benefit by using a plan based on where they/we are at right now, (not when we were in our 20-30s). Nutriworks, and especially Eve is professional, empathetic, and commutative. They apply a team approach to helping you achieve all of your goals." - Kevin Woodson

Are you looking to improve your performance? Improve your health? Put on muscle mass? Lose weight? Do you already have a training/exercise program in place, but can’t seem to get the nutrition right?

We can help with variety of packages to help you reach your specific goal! And more importantly – maintain that goal (i.e. continue to perform your best, stay healthy, keep up muscle mass, and stop fat from creeping back on).

But it takes time to build new habits (and break old ones) and learn proper nutrition for a healthier lifestyle… one appointment isn’t enough! So while we cover the foundation and fundamentals to get you started in the first session, we continue to tailor your program, answer questions, provide accountability, and track progress with additional follow-ups and services.

All packages are good for one year from the date of purchase and include one 90-minute New Client consultation, two 30-minute Follow-Up consultations, and options for additional weekly online coaching check-ins!

You've been told what to eat. Let us teach you when!

Over the past few weeks, we've talked about why fasted workouts backfire, why skipping carbs tanks your energy, why backloading calories stalls fat loss, and why no supplement can replace a well-balanced meal. Every one of those problems comes back to the same question:
When are you eating (not JUST what) across the entire day?

That's exactly why we created our online course: The Power of Macronutrient Timing
We built this course to teach you what we've spent decades coaching athletes and active adults to do... fuel with purpose!

Inside, you'll learn exactly how to:
✔ Strategically time your carbohydrates, protein, and fats throughout the day
✔ Know when each macronutrient matters most (especially around workouts)
✔ Build meals and snacks that match your goals, your schedule, and your life
✔ Fuel for energy, recovery, and performance without feeling overwhelmed

The course is normally $49, but this week only, we're giving it to you for 10% off! Use code TIMING10 at checkout.
