Tired of spending $2 on a packet of salt to stay hydrated? 🥵

Over the years, I’ve talked a lot about how critical electrolytes are for proper hydration and performance.

I’ve also explained how easy it is to save money on making your own sports drink!

We're all looking for money-saving hacks, so now’s the time to learn how you can (and should!) make a perfectly delicious homemade sports drink that is packed with electrolytes.

You'll be glad you did because you'll never have to waste money again on electrolyte supplements.

Head over to my blog which has plenty of links to other resources, and the products I use in my video!

Well, I can finally cross this off my bucket list...I made it on the cover of a magazine! Not only once but twice 😆

I am proud to have contributed an article titled, "Balancing Work and Wellness: Strategies for Female Entrepreneurs to Maintain a Balanced Diet" to the Cocktail/s Magazine specifically for women!

If you love magazines like I do (that aren't filled with 50% ads) and magazines that are a little sassy and fun, I highly recommend you check it out.

This video unpacks an important topic...micronutrients, and how to ensure your female teen athlete is getting enough from their diet.

If your teen female athlete is a picky eater, how can you ensure she’s getting the essential micronutrients she needs to be healthy and perform at her peak?

If you notice your teen athlete is low in energy, not recovering well from their training sessions, getting sick often, or not sleeping well, their diet is the first place to look for the cause.

I focus on sources of real foods over supplements, and provide examples of what foods provide these essential micronutrients, including for vegans and vegetarians.

Be ready to take notes, because you’ll be equipped with a whole list of “common denominator” type foods that you can incorporate into their diet.

Kristen Ziesmer, Sports Dietitian provides food sources of essential micronutrients your teen athlete needs for health and peak performance.

For my clients, getting the right source, and the proper amount of protein is a top priority for optimal performance, building muscle, and faster recovery. 💪

However, it can be tricky to navigate the varying terrain of dietary regimes, such as strictly plant-based diets with vegetarians or vegans.

In my video, I give my analysis of which source is best, and why. I also provide tips and suggestions for sources of different kinds of protein for everyone, depending on whether you eat meat or not.

In my video, I discuss:

✔ The key role of essential amino acids and leucine as the building blocks of protein.
✔ Why meat is the ‘king’ as a protein source for building muscle and overall function and repair of our bodies.
✔ Considerations for vegetarian and vegan diets for protein alternatives.
✔ The rating of which plant-based protein is best: soy, whey or casein.
✔ My top 3 tips for getting enough protein to build muscle for plant-based diets.

Confused about nutrition supplements?

In this video, I unpack the complexities and important things to consider around sports nutrition supplements, especially for female athletes. I give my own example of experiencing horrible symptoms and caution about the real dangers due to their lack of regulation.

I also share where you can look up product reviews for supplement brands, plus my recommendations for the highest quality and safety.
