PSA: activities require fuel.

Your body doesn’t care if you’re training for a marathon, lifting at CrossFit, playing soccer, going on a roadtrip, or just have a long day at work.

If you’re asking your body to do work, it needs fuel.

Running requires carbohydrates.
Strength training needs protein + enough total energy.
Long practices and games increase your carbohydrate and fluid needs.
Even that “easy” Saturday hike can leave you dragging if you started the day under-fueled.

Feeling exhausted, lightheaded, ravenous at night, constantly sore, or completely wiped after training isn’t just something you have to accept as part of being active.

You need to eat enough for what you’re asking your body to do.

If you need help navigating this, my DMs are always open! 🥯🍌🥤

Whatever you do,

please don’t compare yourself to anyone else.

ESPECIALLY not other athletes online.

Everyone has their own journey, their own path, their own timeline.

Their nutrition plan is probably not the same one you need.

Their training is probably vastly different from yours.

Stay in your lane 💪🏼 You’ve got this!

Let’s not even talk about supplement overkill; let’s just do something about it.

Every athlete has their own needs.

Some should add electrolytes; some shouldn’t.
Some should utilize magnesium; some shouldn't.
And unless you're a vegetarian, BCAAs are a complete waste of time. 🙃

Even if it sounds cool, or like the next best thing, I don’t want you to be tempted to get every single supplement on the market.

When that influencer hops onto Instagram and says “this was a game changer,” PAUSE. ‼️ THAT IS A READ FLAG!

First, I’d talk to someone about it before you start taking it. Whether it's another healthcare practitioner, a coach, or me, get an opinion from someone you trust.

Second, really look into the supplement. Do you trust who makes this and who advertises for it? ⭐️

Third, look at your habits. Are you doing the boring basics first, like getting 8 hours of sleep, hitting your protein goal, and moving every day?

If you need a little extra help figuring out which supplements to add, if you need a multivitamin or if creatine is right for you, send me a message!
I’d love to be in your corner and help you figure this out 💪🏼

You increased your training thinking you’d get leaner…
but now you feel puffy, exhausted, irritable, and like your progress has completely stalled.

Here’s what might be happening:

Increased training + low calories = WAY more stress on your body.

And that stress can show up as:

• holding onto more water
• feeling inflamed and puffy
• intense cravings
• poor recovery
• workouts feeling harder than they should
• the scale not moving the way you expected

So what do most athletes do?

They cut food even harder.

But sometimes, your body doesn’t need less.

It needs more support.

That could mean adding carbs around your practice and actually giving your body what it needs to recover.

Sometimes the answer to feeling like your body is “holding onto everything” is to fuel it smarter.

Your body isn’t broken.
You might just be under-fueled.

My DMs are always open. Reach out if I can help. 💕
