Supporting the Sport and the Recovery
There is so much talent in these Valleys! At our March Table Talk, Jody Herman,MS,RDN,CEDRD of Bamboo Nutrition delivered a beautifully organized presentation about sports and ED Recovery. Drawing from her own professional background she explained the sources of sheer pressure, the heavy demand on training, the pivotal role of the coach, and the easily missed physical and psychological complications our adolescents may be having.
We looked at “physique-specific sports” with their associated ideal body images and the blame any athlete may place on their body for imperfect performance. This is what leads to the internalized belief system that is an ED.
We learned about “RED-S” and received welcomed clear direction about how to use our MI tools to strike compromises. The ultimate compromises lead to ED recovery as well as optimal performance.
So grateful for this time together and to all who participated.
