Foundation Series: Nutrition

October 16, 2023 • Dr. Kevin Sprouse • Season 8 • Episode 28

What role does nutrition play in creating a solid performance foundation? The answer might be more complex than you think.

Hosts Dr. Kevin Sprouse and Patrick Morris tackle the essential metrics used in nutritional scoring, from calorie balance and protein intake to fiber consumption and Omega-3 levels assessed through the Omega-3 index test. They also shed light on body composition measured with DEXA scans, continuous glucose monitoring metrics, and fasting insulin levels.

However, rather than fixating on micromanaging individual nutrients, Kevin and Patrick underscore the importance of adopting a holistic approach, emphasizing the significance of quality whole foods. Learn how small behavioral or intake changes in your nutrition can lead to significant long-term health improvements, all through the lens of their unique scoring system.
