The Health Elevation Nutrition Podcast

This episode is something a bit different - I dive into my journey as an athlete, how I found the field of Dietetics, and all the twists and turns along the way. Why am I sharing my story? My story is my WHY - why I became a dietitian, why I am building a business to help athletes thrive, and why I am completing my PhD in young athlete nutrition. Each athlete has unique experiences that shapes them for life, and mine certainly led to a career in helping athletes improve their lives through nutrition. I know that many athletes can resonate with what I expierenced, and I hope that the learnings in my twists and turns will help you to navigate some of the challenges in your own life.

In this episode we meet Jan Scholtz (known as @theoptimisticbio on Instagram), a passionate biokineticist with a holistic approach to health, exercise and mutlidisciplinary practice.  As practitioners, we both believe in a person-first, individualised approach and using science-based practice to help our clients succeed. This episode is jam-packed with information on health, exercise and optimistic movement.  We talk about why it is important for healthcare practitioners like dietitians and biokineticists to work closely together and why telehealth can help us as practitioners integrate into the daily lives of our clients.  Jan also shares his personal story about why he became a biokineticist and how it shapes his approach to his profession. Similar to dietetics, there are a few myths and misconceptions about the biokinetics profession, and he breaks down exactly what a bio does and common mistakes he sees people make in their training.
