As a former Division 1 swimmer, I was swimming twice a day and finding the quickest food I could in between class, practice, sleep and naps. Fast forward, I became a teacher while trying to hold on to an “athletes” schedule. Working out before work, rushing to work, staying late to only rush around after.  I found the quickest, most convenient food options I could get my hands on; many times scarfing it down mindlessly in the car. While these food choices might not have always been visibly affecting my life, looking back, I do know my athletic performance and overall energy was hindered. Many of these foods I was grabbing were lacking in proper nutrients, affecting my sleep, my workouts, and my life! In retrospect,  having someone to help me navigate real, whole food choices would have been such an asset to my athletic performance, my recovery, my energy levels for work, and even the transition from college to the career world, because that is where the real trouble began. I was still swimming, student teaching, working a full school day, swim coaching, AND taking night classes…..MAN HELLO STRESS. Long story short I ended up quite sick and nutrient deficient. Looking back a holistic health path could have saved me from an emergency health situation. 5 years later slow and steady wins the race with proper whole foods fuel along side of stress management.
