Our Guiding Principles
Founded by athlete and Certified Sports Nutritionist (CISSN) Nancy Gomes, Nutrify Performance Nutrition for Women provides science-backed nutrition coaching for female athletes seeking to improve performance, recovery, and overall wellness.
- Female athlete physiology is unique and powerful, yet most training & nutrition protocols in place today are based on research on male athletes #womenarenotsmallmen
- Each female athlete has unique nutritional needs and her personalized nutrition recommendations will based on the best available scientific research and evidence-based recommendations for female athletes
- Many female athletes are not consuming enough energy to fuel their training & racing activities resulting in less-than-optimal athletic performance and increases the likelihood of health issues, if sustained over time
- Deficiencies in key macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein and fat) and micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) can directly impact athletic performance
- Understanding proper hydration and nutrient timing, especially in and around training & racing, is an important strategy to ensure proper training adaptations and improve athletic performance
- Whole food-based nutrition is the most optimal choice to improve performance and overall health, but supplements may be needed to help meet key nutritional needs and to improve athletic performance (but only after key nutritional needs are met).
