Want to learn how to optimize your diet to get the most out of your workouts and improve your health? Today’s episode is focused on performance nutrition for non-athletes, for middle aged and older adults.

This episode features my interview with fellow Registered Dietitian Lori Anonsen. Lori has a wealth of experience in both nutrition and fitness and has a deep understanding of Sports Nutrition. She also holds Exercise Science/Fitness certifications through the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Council on Exercise.

This is a nutrient-rich episode! We talk about why it’s beneficial for middle aged and older adults to get serious about fitness at this critical point in their lives. And, we get into: protein needs, carbs, meal timing, recovery, supplements, electrolytes, fluid needs and more! Lori also gives clear, actionable strategies for how you can reduce the fat around your middle (your belly fat) once and for all.
