Continuing the series a started a few weeks ago on advice I give parents to keep their athletes healthy.

Today's topic: Nutrition

Not fancy diets. Not supplements from social media. Just making sure the basics are covered.

Many athletes—especially high school and endurance athletes—are commonly low in Vitamin D, iron, magnesium, calcium, and zinc. These nutrients play a major role in bone health, muscle function, recovery, and immune support. When levels are low, performance suffers—and injury risk often rises.

Here’s the advice I give to the families I work with:

1️⃣ Food first, supplements second.
Most athletes can meet their needs through consistent, nutrient-dense meals—lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, dairy or fortified alternatives, whole grains, and healthy fats.

2️⃣ Don’t guess—test.
If fatigue, frequent illness, or slow recovery becomes a pattern, it may be worth discussing lab work with a healthcare provider. This is especially true for Vitamin D and iron, where both deficiency and excess can create problems.

3️⃣ Remember that athletes have higher demands.
Heavy training, sweating, growth, and busy schedules increase nutrient needs. What works for a sedentary teen often isn’t enough for a competitive athlete.

4️⃣ Watch the higher-risk groups.
Indoor athletes, endurance athletes, female athletes, and those following plant-based diets often require closer attention to nutrient intake.

Keeping athletes healthy isn’t just about reps, drills, and conditioning. It’s about building a body that can recover, adapt, and stay resilient over time.

Performance starts with health—and health starts with the basics. 💪🥦

“Dr. Ethan I want to keep my kid healthy this season. What can I do?” - This was the question posed to me from the parent of an athlete I’ve trained and rehabbed multiple times over the last two years.

Over my next few posts I’ll talk about the advice I gave them.

First piece of advice?

MAKE THEM GO TO BED

Lack of sleep is an epidemic in youth athletics right now. We can blame a litany of factors: cell phones, television, training schedules, travel etc., but the point remains.

Kids are not sleeping enough.

Sleep is vital for athletes. It’s when the body repairs muscle tissue, releases growth hormone, and restores their energy supply.

Athletes that average less than 8 hours/night have a higher injury risk, slower recovery, and weaker immune systems.

Simply put, if your kid isn’t sleeping you can forget about all of the prophylactic exercises, taping, bracing, and training you’re putting them through. Start with the simple things first.

The Benefits of Ultrasound in Physical Therapy

Ultrasound isn’t just for imaging—it’s a powerful tool used in physical therapy to help you recover and feel your best! Here’s why:

🔹 Pain Relief: Ultrasound can reduce pain by delivering soothing heat deep into muscles and tissues.

🔹 Improved Healing: It increases blood flow to the treated area, promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

🔹 Enhanced Mobility: By loosening tight muscles and tendons, ultrasound can improve flexibility and range of motion.

🔹 Targeted Treatment: Ultrasound therapy focuses on specific areas, making it effective for injuries, chronic conditions, and post-surgical recovery.

If you’re dealing with pain or limited mobility, ultrasound may be a helpful part of your physical therapy plan! Ask us how it can support your healing journey.
