As an active woman, nutrition can feel complicated.

 

We get messages from culture, influencers, and so-called experts. Most nutrition courses give us a prescriptive formula without taking into account factors that affect women like our menstrual cycle, our life stage (puberty, pregnancy, menopause), or that women are uniquely targeted by diet culture. Learning to push against society’s norms and create a fueling plan that fits your goals and lifestyle is one of the best investments that you can make in yourself. 

This course is for you if you are...

  • An active woman of any level who wants to get the best from her body.  Whether you’re training for an Ironman, working toward a strength goal, or crushing it at CrossFit, if you move regularly, this course is for you! 
  • A trainer or coach who wants to help female athletes reach their goals
  • A provider who works with active women - doctor, physical therapist, etc.

By the end of the course, you will: 

Understand and recognize cultural influences

When it comes to proper fueling, we can't separate the conversation about what to eat from the historical and cultural influences that uniquely impact women.

Connect eating to psychological well-being

Learn to listen to our body's needs and hunger cues and feel free to eat accordingly while still understanding when and how to override hunger cues for optimal performance.

Recognize the sex differences between men and women related to fueling

Understanding why the dietary recommendations made for men don't always translate to the female body.

Learn to fuel during puberty, pregnancy, and the menopausal transition.

As our bodies undergo major hormonal changes, our fueling and hydration needs (and cues) will change. Learn how a woman can adapt her nutrition throughout her life. 

Grasp the consequences of underfueling

Understanding how underfueling impacts the body and how to recognize Low Energy Availability and RED-S.

Create a plan for proper hydration and nutrition before, during, and after training sessions

Understand what your body needs based on your training and goals and feel confident in your fueling plan.

Above all else

You’ll walk away from the course with the ability to create a nutrition plan based on your goals and lifestyle.

Why underfueling is so dangerous for women of all levels

Pat

I'm what you would call your everyday athlete. I love my sport and want to get better. That's how I found myself buying into the rhetoric of lighter is faster. Between trying to lean out and my busy professional life, I ended up severely underfueling myself. It took over a year, seeing my primary doctor, 3 specialists, and countless blood and other medical tests before a new coach knew what was happening and finally helped me understand what was going on and create a plan with eating more and lifting heavy to get me out of the hole. At the same time, I was entering perimenopause. Many of the symptoms are almost identical and I always will wonder the underfueling made my perimenopause worse.

Lindsay

After a great season of racing, I started having some mysterious health problems that were sidelining me with fatigue. After numerous doctor's visits and tests, which gave me no answers, I worked with a naturopath working with elite athletes and discovered it was actually Low Energy Availability. I was shocked. I don't try to restrict my food and understand what my body needs, but between a busy training and work schedule, I slipped into underfueling. Thankfully, I got back on track and now have a plan that helps me stay fueled with a busy work and training schedule.
