By it’s very nature, being an athlete, whether elite or amateur, can be challenging. There are pressures physically, emotionally and mentally; dietary adaptations, arduous training schedules, and time management constraints all place a demand on the body. Those living with an autoimmune condition are placing even more demands on the body. So how do we as professionals support these athletes?
During this webinar, Amy will discuss the use of personalised nutrition to support athletes with autoimmune conditions, focussing on functional medicine approaches that aim to establish the underlying cause for the disease(s) and the associated inflammation. The main considerations that will be covered are: stress, hidden infections, leaky gut and nutrient deficiencies, food allergies/intolerances, toxins and genetic predisposition.
