Ep 8 A Human-First Approach to Performance Nutrition with Louise Bloor
Update: 2022-03-23
Description
Louise Bloor is a Performance Nutritionist for British Judo, Diving and Athletics' teams.
Her food philosophy, which is helpful for us all to remember, is explored in this half hour conversation - 'food is fuel, fun, emotional and you've got to enjoy it' - as we discuss the following:
fuelling correctly around training sessions - before, during and after - to optimise performance, reduce injury and retain a high level of focus and engagement from the start to the finish
long term and acute weight loss and weight management strategies
female athletes' weight management around their menstrual cycle
a human-first approach to performance nutrition
I also did a little bit of digging and found one of Louise's docs from 2016: An introduction to performance nutrition for British Judo -
Introduction to Performance Nutrition for British Judo - 42 page doc
This episode also discusses in brief Louise's entry into performance nutrition, where she works with the following British Teams - Judo, Diving and Athletics - helping these elite performers to make and manage their weight, gain a healthier relationship with food and learn from not only her theory of performance nutrition, but also her own personal experience as an Olympic sprinter.
