⏰ Time (COUNTLESS hours at the gym, in the car, stressing over routines, private lessons, etc)
💸 Money (I don’t have to tell you about this)
🧠 The Mental Load (holding space for the tears, the frustration, the nerves, your OWN nerves at comps)
👉🏻Inside the Competition Season Nutrition Clinic we're going to help you figure out what's working + what's not with your gymnast's FUELING, and how to CRUSH IT this season (and for many after!)
All gymnasts train. All gymnasts condition. At this point, your gymnast has enough talent to do optional/elite gymnastics...
✨But, nutrition is the ONE THING that can separate them from their competition✨
Unintentional Underfueling
👉🏻Your gymnast needs so much nutrition each day to...
✅Grow/Develop (which isn't over until 18+)
✅Repair/Recover
✅ADAPT to their training (or get better, faster, stronger)
And MOST of the L9/10/elites we work with have been underfueled for YEARS (and sometimes it's too late for them to reach their big goals)....
❌ You know your gymnast isn’t eating enough…she skips meals, refuses breakfast, doesn’t eat before/during gymnastics (or isn’t allowed to), and you’re worried. She then may also go to the other end and seems to overeat or even “binge” on foods, especially the carbs, sweet treats, etc and you aren’t sure how to help her find “balance”.
❌ You feel like your gymnast is a picky eater and it’s getting in the way of her performance.
❌ You make super nutritious meals, feel like there is a good balance of all foods, and yet she often refuses what you make and just wants “junk”.
❌ Your gymnast is TIRED and SORE all the time, and it breaks your heart.
❌ You’ve tried therapists, chiropractors, supplements, etc and nothing seems to be helping. You wonder if her nutrition is at play, but you’re not sure.
❌ Things are going well, but you are all too familiar with how things with food and body can go down a bad path as gymnasts get older, more advanced, etc. You want to help your gymnast feel confident in fueling her body and not struggle. You want to know how to make better meal options, fuel your gymnast for her best performance, and make sure she’s getting enough!
Knowing WHAT to fuel your gymnast with the night before + day of the competition isn't going to fix...
❌ Your gymnast not getting the RIGHT fuel at the RIGHT times
❌ Your gymnast not CLOSING the "recovery gap" each and every day to stay healthy...
Learned what’s working and what’s not with your gymnast’s nutrition
Gained a deep understanding of why most gymnasts are tired, sore, or constantly injured (and how to prevent this)
Learned what’s normal and what’s not for gymnast growth and development
A new-found confidence in how to approach nutrition with your gymnast
Like your gymnast and many of you, I was a competitive gymnast for 9+ years and founded a 100% virtual sports nutrition practice exclusively for gymnasts.
It wasn’t until I become a dietitian nutritionist that I realized that what I had been doing with my nutrition as a gymnast was the complete opposite of what I needed, yet how should I have known? (Especially when that’s what everyone else was doing).
Now I have a healthy relationship with food and my body, and help compulsory through international elite gymnasts (and their parents/coaches!) achieve the things I wasn’t able to in my career.
Since 2017, I’ve had a private practice and worked with 100s of competitive gymnasts (compulsory through Sr Elite/National Team) and their parents —teaching them to fuel for optimal performance without the stress or overwhelm.
We attract gymnasts and parents who are ready to put in the time and effort to optimize nutrition and performance. They are not afraid to challenge beliefs they have about food and nutrition, and challenge cultural norms in the sport. Just because “this is how we’ve always done it” doesn’t make it right.
// Mom, Level 9 Gymnast
"My daughter feels safe and connected, not afraid to speak to Christina about her food and body image struggles as a high level gymnast. We love Christina as her nutrition advice is realistic and backed up by science."
// Mom, Level 5 Gymnast
"I love Christina’s approach to nutrition for the gymnast and not focusing on ‘bad’ foods. To be able to adjust to my own gymnast and understand more about fueling for performance. I am excited to build a healthy relationship with food for her.”
// Mom, Level 10 Gymnast
“Christina does a great job of explaining WHY it’s so important to be properly fueling gymnasts at this level and what that looks like. She helped me see the gaps we needed to fill and I loved the one-on-ones and the push to get blood work done. Highly recommend.”
// Mom, Level 9 Gymnast
“Nutrition is such a game changer. When everyone is doing the same hours and same skills, the adequately fueled athlete is ahead of the rest. Christina is a true expert and she wants to see your athlete succeed."
// Mom, Level 8 Gymnast
“The VIP program has been a game changer for my gymnast! It seems like common sense now, but I had no idea just how much of a role nutrition plays in injuries and her overall health in this sport. We've both learned so much and my gymnast has noticed a big difference in her energy levels and ability to focus both at gym and with school!”
YES! Often gymnasts (especially teens) may not want to talk about nutrition because it’s deeply personal and they don’t want to feel judged. Often comments about food/bodies have already been made and the course is a safe way to introduce new, healthy nutrition concepts without pressure. This challenge is a great way for you to get some insight into why they struggle and how to help.
No worries! We will have the replay posted as quickly as possible to the Clinic Facebook Group and will email you the replay link the next morning bright and early!
This challenge is also a great way for coaches to get valuable nutrition education.
This challenge is geared towards parents and coaches of competitive gymnasts (Compulsory/Optionals/Elite). You are more than welcome to do the challenge with your gymnast, we recommend at least 12 and older.
YES! There will be replays for the live sessions each day if they are not at a convenient time for you.
YES! This specific 2-day clinic is just for female level 6-10/elite gymnasts + parents.
