Are you an active person who’s constantly on the go, a serious athlete, or maybe a weekend warrior? What you eat can help maximize your energy and optimize your performance. You’ll want to listen to this week’s podcast which is all about helping you get the energy boost you need to power your performance every day. My guest is sports nutritionist Dr. Jenna Bell-Wilson.

Dr. Bell-Wilson is co-author of the just released book Energy to Burn: The Ultimate Food and Nutrition Guide to Fuel your Active Lifestyle. She is a Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics, a registered dietitian and has provided nutrition seminars with professional athletes at major athletic events like the Boston Marathon and New York City Marathon.

Dr. Bell-Wilson works with many serious athletes and is one herself. From your emails, I know that many of you are trying to lose weight and are using exercise to help speed up the process. Dr. Bell-Wilson talks about how to tailor your diet to successfully lose weight, but also to have the energy to get through your everyday busy schedule and still have energy to burn for a workout.

She also discusses how you can ensure that you have the fuel needed to get through your workout if you head from work to a workout, rather than stopping at home first. You don’t want to miss her on-target advice.
