Our Nutrition Expert

Sports nutrition is the application of regular nutrition practices with a focus on the physically active population. Meeting the needs of sport and exercise can be challenging as there are a variety of influences within and outside an individual’s personal environment. The types of food we choose and when we eat may impact the ability to perform and remain in sport. There are many different challenges that athletes experience (ie inability to maintain weight, upset stomach on race day, or dehydration during training camp) that can impact the quality of performance. Having the support and guidance from a Registered Dietitian can help athletes manage their nutrition needs and perform at their best.

A Registered Dietitian is a trained nutrition professional that has met the legal and professional standards set by the provincial regulatory body (Saskatchewan Dietitians Association) to deliver safe, ethical, and quality service. Assessing and interpreting the needs and goals of each individual separately will optimize the nutrition therapy provided. Necessary and timely follow-up will ensure that services remain relevant and appropriate for individuals. Utilization of the training staff and equipment at IGNITE ATHLETICS will further enhance the measurement of progress.
