Veganism is a popular trend among athletic individuals, who believe it can improve their health, performance and recovery.
In this webinar, Simone do Carmo discusses how she approaches working with a vegan athlete, bearing in mind their reasons for being vegan, and the importance of a detailed timeline and dietary intake assessment. She also reviews specific nutritional considerations pertinent to a vegan athlete.
Rachel Jesson puts the theory into practice by sharing nourishing examples of how we can amplify the nutrient density of foods for the vegan athlete, while introducing specific preparation and cooking methods.
The webinar ends with Ian Craig sharing his philosophical and experiential views on why veganism is not always the most sustainable dietary approach, and he will discuss dietary balance when it comes to health.
