We all know far too well that gastrointestinal issues can derail a training run or race physically and mentally. Cramping, bloating, and diarrhea can quickly worsen dehydration and become very painful or even debilitating.

By following these nutrition strategies, one can improve symptoms and performance as a whole.
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.
