Event recap
- Focus is the gateway to success both in and out of your sport.
- Lack of focus can show up as an inability to stay present, brain fog, ADHD, and difficulty making quick and informed decisions.
- If we want to be focused, we need to balance our blood sugar, modulate stress, optimize sleep, and keep our gut balanced.
- Gut health optimization determines performance success.
- The gut includes invisible microorganisms that work with our human cells to keep our digestive system healthy. It is often referred to as our second brain.
- Symptoms of food sensitivity are very individual.
- We’ve seen many athletes feel very relieved when they realize that they can improve their gut and focus issues by removing certain foods, and then reintroducing those foods after gut restoration!
- First step to fueling for focus? Building a solid nutrition foundation. Now, how do you do that?
- Step 1: Focus on a real-food diet and avoid foods you are sensitive to.
- Step 2: Match your carbs to activity (carb sweet spot) and prioritize fueling timing.
- Step 3: Choose lifestyle habits that support your nutrition foundations.
