A conversation with America’s functional sports nutrition expert
The key outcome for any professional athlete is performance on the court or field of play. At this level, on this stage – NBA team performance, theoretical nutrition guidelines are merely the starting point for a performance nutritionist; akin to passing your driving test – the real learning really takes place when you hit the road, on your own!
