Olympic vs Everyday Athletes

Celebrities, they're just like us. Olympians, we're just like them. Right?! Maybe you're like us and watching the Olympics inspires you to workout a little harder. And when you read the articles of what Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky or Naomi Osaka eat you think, "Maybe I should eat that too." It's SO tempting. In this episode, Jenn walks us through it all. From what details we can take to what really only applies to them and even when our activity doesn't require any nutritional adjustment (whoa!).  You'll love the details and the big picture lessons we can take from these Olympic inspirations—training, nutrition, flexibility, stress management and more!
