Precision Nutrition & Health Performance

A common question that I have received a strength & conditioning specialist is how can individuals fix or improve their diet? The field of nutrition science is layered with complexity, and trying to figure out what the best approach is to help with this problem can be incredibly frustrating for clients. Fortunately, organizations such as Precision Nutrition have developed healthy, well-balanced solutions that are based off of high quality research findings. For this Training Report, I wanted to provide a helpful Precision Nutrition infographic that reviews strategies for helping repair broken diets. Enjoy!

Note To Reader:

If you are an athlete reading this segment of the TRAINING REPORT, hopefully this content was helpful! I put the Training Report together because I felt like many of the discussions on issues such as the Yips/mental blocks, strength training & other subject matter on athlete performance concepts were really missing the mark on these ideas (e.g. how trauma is the direct cause of the Yips). If you are interested in learning more, make sure to subscribe below for when I put out new content on issues related to sport psychology & athlete performance! Also, if you are looking to work with a mental performance specialist, you are in the right place! USE THIS LINK to reach out to me to see if my services are the right fit for your goals!
