Nutrition is not only very complex but has ties to stress, taste, hunger, hormones, and a multitude of other reasons why we make the choices we do. The backbone of a healthy, performing body is food and exercise. These are interrelated - choices in one component affect the outcome of the other. In an effort to maximize our clients’ health and performance journey, Peak is launching a progressive approach to simplify and apply this critical and sometimes overwhelming topic.
Knowledge is power. Learning nutrition science in a step-by-step process WITH applicable lessons gives you the power to make decisions based upon YOUR needs. Learning key concepts such as blood glucose management, muscle protein needs and sources, macronutrient timing, and more gives your control over your decisions from negative influences. OWN your behaviors and maximize results by basing choices on objective information.
Our group program contains three progressive levels of information and application. Each level is a prerequisite for the next so we can “speak” the same language.
