Mealtime with kids — Is it possible for it to be low-stress AND nutritious? Nicole Christensen wears many hats: CF-L4, owner of CrossFit Roots, Seminar Staff Flowmaster, CrossFit Nutrition Course Director, and, most importantly, mom of two. Her best tip: Keep it simple and offer a small selection of healthy options to keep the decisions and negotiations to a minimum. At breakfast, she keeps it quick and easy by offering a fruit and a protein, which vary based on what's in the house. For lunches and snacks, she likes to have a variety of good choices available so her girls can make their own selections. At dinner, the kids eat what the adults eat: typically grilled meat, some form of potato, and a vegetable. If this all sounds too good to be true, Christensen shares that when her girls come across foods they don't want to eat, oftentimes it simply takes patience and time for them to change their minds.

Being a frequent flyer doesn't mean you have to sacrifice healthy nutrition habits. Nicole Christensen, CrossFit Nutrition Course Director, has spent a significant amount of time on the road as part of CrossFit Seminar Staff.   To stay on track while on the go, she recommends visiting the grocery store as soon as you land and keeping a phone note of go-to portable meals so you don't have to think about what you're going to purchase. Need help getting started? For breakfast, lunch, and snacks, she chooses: Packages of berries Cooked chicken breasts Deli meats Avocados Peanut butter packets Oatmeal packets Lara bars Carrots & hummus When traveling multiple days a week, she notes dinner should mirror what you eat at home so you can maintain consistency in your diet.  Keep yourself on track with basics like salads, meats, and vegetables.  Continue learning with the CrossFit Nutrition I Course.

“If a woman can understand how she feels on different days her cycle, then she can start dialing and being more personalized with her training. When the hormones are low, this is where women have more power, more speed, recover better, have more “mojo” because they have less central nervous system fatigue. Around ovulation, with that boost of estrogen, some women feel bulletproof and other women feel a little bit flat, and then a couple days later they'll feel bulletproof, so, understanding that as well. And then when you get into the high hormone phase, with estrogen and progesterone being the highest, this is where we want women to deload more, where they're working functional technique and they're not doing too much high intensity, they're not trying to do top-end VO2 work because physiologically you're fighting your body because there's so many different metabolic and thermoregulatory and metabolic shifts that happen with the hormones. It's really hard to do that high, high intensity in the high hormone phase.” - Dr. Stacy Sims In the words of Stacy Sims, Ph.D, women are not small men.  Dr. Sims is an applied researcher, innovator, and entrepreneur in human performance, specifically sex differences in training, nutrition, and environmental conditions.   She is dedicated to educating women so that they can use their natural cycle to their advantage and train with their physiology, not against it. Dr. Sims earned her Ph.D. in Environmental Exercise Physiology and Sports Nutrition from the University of Otago in New Zealand.  From there, she began work as an exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist at Stanford University, where she specialized women's health and performance. During her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into a science-based layperson's book, ROAR: How to Match Your Food and Fitness to Your Unique Female Physiology for Optimum Performance, Great Health, and a Strong, Lean Body for Life.   In the book, she provides insights into how women can adapt their nutrition, hydration, and training to optimize their performance across the lifespan. Dr. Sims's contributions to the international research environment and the sports nutrition industry have established a new niche in sports nutrition and established her reputation as an expert in sex differences in training, nutrition, and health. She is a regularly featured speaker at professional and academic conferences, including those hosted by US Olympic Committee, High-Performance Sport NZ, and USA Cycling, and is a Senior Research Associate at AUT University. I was first introduced to Dr. Sims's work by Dr. Matt Dawson and today's co-host, Dr. Mike Mallin of Wild Health, and since then, it's seems like I've heard her name everywhere!  So many Pursuing Health listeners have suggested an episode with Dr. Sims, so I was excited to have a chance to chat with her to learn more about her work.  We discuss the general differences between male and female physiology, how women can tailor their nutrition, fitness, and hydration to optimize their performance at different times in their cycle, and considerations for peri- and post-menopausal as well as pre- and post-partum athletes. *Dr. Sim's bio adapted from her website     In this episode we discuss: Dr. Sims's background and how she became interested in women's health and performance The general physiological differences between men and women and the female hormone phases Ways women can adapt their training around their cycle Methods Dr. Sims's likes for tracking the female cycle How macronutrient consumption should be adjusted for different times in the cycle How hormones can affect thirst, and considerations for hydration The importance of adjusting training intensity at different times during the cycle Tips to help female CrossFit athletes optimize their training Changes women experience during peri- and post-menopause and exercise changes that should be considered Pregnancy and post-partum training and nutrition considerations for athletes Why fasting is not ideal for female athletes Lessons Dr. Sims would share with her younger self     You can connect with Dr. Sims on her website, Instagram, and Facebook.

“When women learn to chart these observable external signs or symptoms that help them understand what's happening internally with their hormones, it is so empowering, and we really should be about empowering our patients with this information. I mean, that's why we encourage our patients to track with they're their eating, or patients with diabetes to monitor their blood sugar so that they can use that information to to make healthier choices to better improve their overall health and well-being.  Fertility awareness based methods are such an incredibly effective tool to educate and empower women, and honestly, engage men back in the conversation of family planning.” - Dr. Marguerite Duane   Dr. Marguerite Duane is a board-certified family physician and co-founder and Executive Director of FACTS, the Fertility Appreciation Collaborative to Teach the Science.  She serves as an Adjunct Associate Professor at Georgetown University, where she directs an introductory course on natural or fertility awareness based methods of family planning. She is a practicing direct primary care physician and she has served on the board of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the Family Medicine Education Consortium (FMEC). After receiving a Bachelor of Science with Honors and a Master of Health Administration from Cornell University, she earned her medical degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and completed her family medicine residency at Lancaster General Hospital. During her residency, she was surprised to hear her senior resident explain to a postpartum patient that there is a way women can learn to manage their fertility without any medical side effects, such as those that occur from hormonal birth control.  She wondered how it was possible this topic hadn't been covered in her medical training. This insight planted the seed that changed the trajectory of her career. Dr. Duane began to focus on learning more about these methods, for her own personal health as well as that of her patients.  She went on to complete training in the Creighton Model of natural family planning and has since made it her passion to educate other healthcare providers and patients. After recently completing the FACTS course for medical students and residents myself, I was excited to have the opportunity to chat more with Dr. Duane about the basics of the female cycle, the efficacy of natural family planning, and the science behind fertility awareness based methods. *Dr. Duane's bio adapted from the FACTS website.   In this episode we discuss: How Dr. Duane became interested in fertility awareness based methods How FACTS came to be The need to educate doctors about FABMs The benefits of being in tune with your cycle The efficacy of this method and the best way to get started The basics of the female cycle, and what women can observe throughout their cycle How following your cycle can give insights to your health How FABMs can help explain underlying reasons for infertility Where to look for a practitioner and how to get started Factors to consider when choosing the right method for yourself Preferred apps and what to look for when selecting an app to use The value of using FABMs to help with underlying medical conditions Dr. Duane's experience with Teen STAR and the benefits of learning these methods from an early age Three things that Dr. Duane does on a regular basis that have the biggest positive impact on her health One thing she struggles to implement that could have a big impact on her health What a healthy life looks like to Dr. Duane You can follow the Fertility Awareness Collaborative to Teach the Science (FACTS) on Instagram,  Facebook and Twitter.
