Meteor Nutrition

🎧but have you listened to episode 11?

if you’re a teen athlete, parent of a teen athlete, or coach of a teen (or pre-teen) athlete I think this is a must listen!

not only do we break down one of the most common teen runner injuries (shin splints), but we dive into what’s physiologically at play!

I spoke to middle school and high school runners last night, and urged that they have this other variable of nutrition demand, growth. running is one of the most metabolically demanding sports a teen can participate in, and when we add in growth, barriers to fueling (such as school schedules, and sleeping through breakfast), it can be easy to miss the mark!

go listen to this one! I loved it!

tbh, I decided a couple of years ago I wouldn’t judge anyone’a use of GLP-1s. It’s such a personal choice. However, as a provider I would get firmly rooted in how I know how to help people which is interventions towards the 💰hit that actually moves the needle of health and performance.

what we know could be risks for the athlete using GLP-1s:

• Under-fueling / REDs
• Loss of lean mass
• GI distress during training
• Blunted adaptation & recovery
• Increased injury risk (bone, tendon, soft tissue)
• Micronutrient gaps
• Disrupted hunger cues
• Increased food/body stress

Not to mention, there’s a lack of long term evidence. I feel for my clients that are navigating these body changes in the midst of these meds, AI, and being raised by a generation that perpetually dieted. I feel that we are not prepared for all of that!

However, so happy my client allowed me to share and so proud of her focus on outcomes that actually transitioned her health and quality of life! Please share with anyone that may be dealing with this!
