How can the power of nutrition elevate your athletic performance? Join us as we unpack this crucial topic with Amie Farmer, the head dietitian and owner of Target Nutrition and Physique Science. Amie’s journey from initial skepticism to becoming a leading expert in sports nutrition is nothing short of inspiring. She shares her background in CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting, deep-diving into how a well-crafted nutritional plan can significantly enhance performance and recovery, focusing on overall well-being beyond mere body composition.
We tackle the real-world issues athletes face, such as inconsistent energy levels and cravings, shedding light on the vital role of carbohydrates and proper food timing. Amie explains how dietitians, with their extensive training, stand apart from nutritionists, stressing the importance of qualified guidance in a field often marred by misinformation. By addressing common nutritional misconceptions and sharing practical strategies, we offer listeners actionable insights to maintain consistent energy and optimize their training routines.
