Exercise produces heat and leaves the body as sweat to stay cool. Studies have repeatedly shown that losing more than 2% body weight impacts performance. Essentially, dehydration increases an athlete’s perceived effort and reduces the ability to continue exercising at a high level.
Balanced hormones are responsible for many key functions in the body such as energy production and healthy sleep, as well as for optimizing performance and maintaining a healthy metabolism.
Amy will help you find the best types of foods to support your training and improve body composition. Major changes to your diet can negatively impact performance and your mental health. Amy will help you develop a meal plan that meets your nutrition and fitness goals.
