Designing Your Personalised Nutritional Blueprint Having a foundational everyday nutrition plan supports general good health and energy and to some degree will protect from ill health and developing chronic diseases. However GOOD Health is not OPTIMAL health and doesn’t always deliver PEAK PERFORMANCE. As nutritionists utilising the functional medicine, we consider every individual to be unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle plans rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. You have individual requirements for nutrients based on your genetic make-up, your environment and your lifestyle. Equally important is to consider how your body systems are functioning to enable you to get the best from your food. As part of our Healthy Woman Healthy Runner METHOD we use a Personalised Nutritional Blueprint as a point of reference document so our clients always know what, when and how much to eat for your personal health and running goals …. and it’s a document you can update every few months, so you are always adapting your blueprint to meet your current goals. In this episode we are sharing how we use this tool to support personalised nutrition plans. https://sunny-trailblazer-4067.ck.page/9b73b64095 (BOOK YOUR PLACE )on our next FREE TRAINING: Learn all about our Healthy Woman Healthy Runner Method.
