Carbo-loading & Race, competition Plans

We create carbo-loading plans that fuel you effectively without leaving you feeling heavy on race day, helping you avoid hitting the wall. Our comprehensive race plans include pacing, nutrition, hydration, mental prep, and logistics, tailored to optimize your performance and recovery, reducing stress, injury, and illness risks, and boosting your chances of hitting personal bests and race goals.

Food Intolerances

Food intolerance causes digestive issues like bloating and diarrhea due to difficulty digesting certain foods, like lactose or gluten. Unlike allergies, it stems from poor digestion. Common types include lactose and gluten intolerance, as well as reactions to additives. Managing it involves avoiding trigger foods and using enzyme supplements. DNA testing can help identify intolerances.

Allergies

Allergies are immune responses to harmless substances, causing symptoms from mild itching to severe anaphylaxis. Diagnosis involves history and tests, with management including avoidance, medications, and possibly immunotherapy. Effective management requires knowing triggers, having an emergency plan, and working with healthcare providers.

FODMAPS which can lead to IBS and Gut issues while Racing or competing

FODMAPs are poorly absorbed carbs and sugar alcohols that can trigger bloating, gas, and other IBS symptoms. Managing involves identifying and avoiding high-FODMAP foods, especially during flare-ups or stress, like exercise.

DNA Testing

DNA testing provides personalized diet plans, identifies supplements your body needs, highlights potential health risks, and suggests the best exercise types for optimal results. It also offers recovery and injury prevention insights.

DNA testing benefits include:

  • Early detection of genetic disorders
  • Personalized medicine
  • Disease risk assessment and prevention
  • Reproductive health insights and hormonal problem assessment
  • Nutrition and fitness guidance
  • Ancestry and ethnicity information
  • Mental health risk factors, if it is mental health or a deficiency
