Functional Sports Nutrition is an advanced level of sports nutrition practice that guides the athlete beyond conventional sports nutrition recommendations. It is an innovative approach that teaches the concept of addressing the whole athlete, not just an isolated set of symptoms or complaints. Functional Sports Nutrition combines a comprehensive nutrition assessment with a thorough Functional Medicine based on creating personalized therapeutic interventions for the athlete. This webinar will teach the framework needed for RDs looking to enhance their knowledge of gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and food sensitivities as it relates to the lifestyle and environment of an athlete. If you want to take your sports nutrition practice to the next level, this webinar is for you!
