Description

In this episode, we’re redefining what a “dance nutrition plan” really means — because it’s not about shrinking your body. It’s about fueling for strength, recovery, and confidence in your dancing.

You’ll learn how to build a flexible, supportive approach to nutrition that enhances performance, supports bone health and mental wellness, and helps you feel truly at home in your body.

We’ll explore:

  • The Stress–Adaptation Cycle and why recovery and nutrition are just as essential as training.

  • How consistent eating and a supportive mindset can free you from food guilt and help you maintain steady energy.

  • The Functional Five framework — a simple, adaptable way to build balanced dancer meals without perfectionism.

  • How to spot the signs of underfueling and recognize when your body is thriving with enough nourishment.

Through personal and client stories, you’ll see how shifting the focus from control to care leads to lasting strength and joy in dance.

💬 Tune in to discover:
What it really looks like to fuel your body for performance, recovery, and wellbeing — and how to start building your own dance nutrition plan today.
