Most of us have followed or aspired to follow the food pyramid we learned about in grade school.

The topics discussed in this episode will inform nutritional health for both yourself and your clients and will include:
Knowing how to feed ourselves rather than knowing what to eat
Considerations for the consumption of
-Proteins
-Fats
-Carbohydrates
Practicing within the scope of our knowledge and training when it comes to nutrition
-Consulting and referrals
-Certifications: \u201cEat to Perform\u201d or \u201cPrecision Nutrition\u201d
