Say bye to chicken and broccoli 🥦

Today is the last day of the Symposium! On Wednesday and gave a wonderful presentation about how to grow as a sports dietitian. BUT they also emphasized the need for sports dietitians throughout the world.

Whether you are just discovering fitness or are a professional athlete - nutrition is essential. If you have any questions about how to improve performance, reach out to a local dietitian. We are your performance nutrition experts and will do whatever it takes to help you succeed in your sports career.

I’m attending my 4th session for the Sports, Cardiovascular, and Wellness Nutrition Symposium, and I am learning SO MUCH!!

From starting a sports nutrition practice, to digital twins, to the microbiome and performance, and now lessons in performance nutrition from warfighters ( expect to see some info from this), I am having the BEST TIME!!!

There is so much that a registered dietitian can do for you and your athletic performance that trainers and health coaches just can’t do because they aren’t qualified.

A registered dietitian can tailor a program to you based on your needs rather than giving you a one size fits all program.

In the spirit of SCAN’s longstanding record of innovation and dynamic solutions, SCAN is expanding into two new DPGs: Sports and Human Performance Nutrition and Cardiovascular Health and Well-being.

Sports and Human Performance Nutrition:
SHPN will be a network of nutrition practitioners working with athletes at all levels and collaborating coaches, athletic trainers, and other sports medicine practitioners to optimize human performance and holistic health for a lifetime. The DPG will leverage the integration of nutrition, exercise science, and technology to set industry standards, provide continuing education, and prepare the next generation of cutting edge professionals. SHPN will deliver content tailored for human performance in sports as well as military, tactical and performing arts, and those who are first responders.

Cardiovascular Health and Well-being:
CV-WELL will equip members to be the experts promoting the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease through nutrition, well-being and physical activity. This DPG will provide in-depth content in cardiovascular nutrition and well-being so members can optimize their work in diverse health arenas such as clinical settings, corporate well-being, community nutrition, private practice, research, education and government.

For the 2021-2022 membership year, current SCAN members who join either SHPN or CV-WELL will enjoy the benefits of both practice groups.

This next spotlight is on a topic that’s always highly requested, relevant, and evolving: supplements!

Eric Rawson, PhD, FACSM, CSCS will present “Dietary Supplements and Performance: Do We Have a Consensus?” 
 
Recently, the International Olympic Committee assembled a panel of experts to review the use of dietary supplements by elite athletes. Comprehensive review articles were prepared and distributed to the panel before the meeting to encourage discussion.

After several days of dialogue, the group concluded that dietary supplements are a legitimate part of an athlete’s preparation and can play a role in supporting health, training, and performance in competition.

These conclusions were published in a consensus statement that summarized the evidence that supports dietary supplement use in elite athletes. The consensus statement is available as an open access manuscript in both the British Journal of Sports Medicine and the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. Comprehensive review articles developed by the panel members are also available open access in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. 
 
Learning Objectives: 
• Identify dietary supplements that may improve athletic performance. 
• Identify issues related to dietary supplement safety in athletes. 
• Describe the hierarchy of evidence used to establish good practice for dietary supplements.
