Description

Too many high school athletes are running on empty. They train, they grind, but they never give their bodies the fuel they actually need.

In this episode, Nick talks with Stephanie Militano, RD, a sports dietitian who helps athletes overcome under-eating, low energy, and RED-S. They break down the silent problems holding athletes back—from lost strength and slow recovery to poor sleep and stalled growth.


🎯 What You’ll Learn:

  • The signs you’re not eating enough (and what to do about it)

  • Why “eating clean” can still leave you under-fueled

  • How sleep and nutrition work together for growth

  • Why skipping breakfast crushes performance

    The truth about protein shakes, calories, and “bad” foods


  • What’s one small way you can eat more consistently this week?
