In this episode of the Exam Room Nutrition Podcast, I sit down with Amy, a leading sports dietitian and host of The Sports Nutrition Playbook, to unpack the essentials of sports nutrition. 

You'll learn the essential aspects of nutrition before, during, and after exercise, strategies for kids with low appetite, hydration tips, and simple snack ideas. Plus, you'll also hear Amy's take on what advice clinicians should never give to young athletes, and why carbohydrates are an athlete's best friend. Whether you're a healthcare provider, a parent, or simply interested in optimizing athletic performance, this episode is packed with actionable tips that you won't want to miss.
