Sports nutrition

Katie and Christina are, if you know them, you are very lucky and blessed.

And so they helped connect me after that to the Gatorade Sports Nutrition Immersion Program, so the SNP program.

And they highly recommended that I apply to that.

Katie wrote me this extremely kind, and I still keep it today.

Like, it's crazy.

Like, just thank you for like your leadership and just sharing this with, I mean, obviously for me, it was so helpful, but just, you know, hopefully this episode, whether someone's trying to conceive or they're having a baby in a few years, like, I just think it's so nice from a professional standpoint to like not feel maybe as alone or blindsided and just know that we do have a community.

You know, there's so many women in sports nutrition and like we need to be talking more about it in there for each other because.

we do love what we do.

And, you know, my, um, my accidental move into that career is made possible because of the generosity of, of s- some athletes who also believed in it.

I mean, my, my first job in sports nutrition was, um, the result of writing to the best football player, Australian rules football player, in the team that I follow, and I wrote to him.

Now, my team is notorious.

In 150 years of Australian Football League, they've won the premiership once.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, we, you know, in lots of areas of sports nutrition now, we're dealing with individualization, and we're saying, um, you know, say, fueling in, in endurance sport.

Now, there's this push now to have larger and larger and larger amounts of carbohydrate intake during, um, these sustained very high intensity endurance sports.
