Sports Nutrition
Nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting athletic performance as well as everyday movement. Each of the components you mentioned contributes uniquely to achieving optimal health and performance goals. Some examples are…
Shilajit
What It Is: A natural substance found in the Himalayas, formed from plant decompositions over centuries.
Benefits: Rich in minerals, fulvic acid, and antioxidants, shilajit may help enhance energy production in cells, support recovery, and increase stamina. It may also have anti-inflammatory properties and aid in nutrient absorption.
Sea Moss
What It Is: A type of red algae packed with nutrients.
Benefits: High in vitamins and minerals such as iodine, magnesium, calcium, and potassium, sea moss can support immune function, digestive health, and provide sustained energy levels. It also helps hydrate the body, which is essential for both athletic performance and recovery.
Electrolytes
What They Are: Essential minerals, including sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, that are critical for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.
Benefits: During exercise, especially in hot conditions, electrolytes are lost through sweat. Replenishing them can help stave off dehydration, prevent muscle cramps, and maintain performance levels.
Collagen
What It Is: A protein that is an integral part of connective tissues, such as tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
Benefits: Supplementing with collagen can promote joint health, support the recovery of tissues, and potentially reduce injury risk. Hydrated and strong joints can enhance overall performance and movement efficiency.
Creatine
What It Is: A naturally occurring compound in the body, primarily stored in muscles, that helps provide energy during high-intensity exercise.
Benefits: Creatine supplementation can enhance strength, power, muscle mass, and recovery capabilities. It’s particularly beneficial for athletes involved in high-intensity sports, such as sprinting or weightlifting.
Proteins
What They Are: Essential macronutrients made up of amino acids, vital for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Benefits: Adequate protein intake supports muscle recovery, growth, and maintenance. It helps in preserving lean muscle mass during periods of calorie deficit and aids overall metabolic health.
Incorporating these nutritional elements into a balanced diet can significantly enhance both performance and recovery for athletes and individuals engaged in everyday activities. It’s also vital to consider that hydration, macronutrient balance (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins), and timing of nutrient intake are important factors in supporting overall athletic performance. Consultations can help you personalized strategies to meet specific performance goals.
Herbs & Botanicals
Herbs and botanicals are versatile preparations that come in various forms, each with unique uses and benefits. Here’s a breakdown of the common forms—loose leaf, powder, tea, and capsules—and their characteristics:
Loose Leaf
Description: Loose leaf herbs are whole or minimally processed plant materials that can be used to make infusions or decoctions.
Uses: Often used for brewing tea, making tinctures, or adding to culinary dishes.
Benefits: Higher quality and flavor compared to bagged tea. Allows for customization in blend ratios and types.
Examples: Chamomile, peppermint, hibiscus.
Powder

Uses: Can be added to food, smoothies, or supplements, and used in herbal remedies.
Benefits: Provides concentrated doses of herbal properties and is easily incorporated into daily routines.
Examples: Turmeric, Slippery Elm, matcha green tea.
Tea
Description: Herbal teas (or tisanes) are infusions made from dried leaves, flowers, seeds, or roots.
Uses: Consumed for relaxation, wellness, or specific health benefits; can be served hot or cold.
Benefits: Easy to prepare, enjoyable to drink, and offers a way to consume herbs while hydrating.
Examples: Ginger tea, Licorice Root tea, nettle tea.
Capsules
Description: Dried and powdered herbs encapsulated in a digestible shell.
Uses: Convenient for those who prefer not to taste the herbs or deal with preparation. Often used for standardized dosages.
Benefits: Easy to take, portable, and may help mask the taste of certain herbs that are unpleasant in flavor.
Examples: Ashwagandha, valerian root, milk thistle.
Considerations
Quality: Regardless of the form, it’s important to source herbs from reputable suppliers to ensure quality and potency.
Dosage: Different forms may require different dosages to achieve desired effects. Always follow recommended guidelines, naturopathic doctor or seek advice from our health team.
