242. Nutrition Deep Dive with Jaimee Cooper

Alpha Girl Confidence

On Today’s episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jaimee Cooper who is an eating disorder-informed Registered Dietitian and soccer nutrition coach with over 8 years of experience working with youth athletes and their families. Her goal is to help parents and athletes learn how to create healthy eating habits that support their performance on and off the field.

In this episode we discuss:

• The importance of eating all three meals and the challenges that arise in maintaining a healthy eating routine, especially for busy kids with jam-packed schedules.
• Valuable insights on how to make time for breakfast, find suitable lunch options, and develop a framework for overall nutritious eating.
• We also explore the interplay between nutrition, physical health, and mental well-being, discussing body image issues, navigating conversations about body size, and the dangers of external rules and restrictions.
• Helpful tips and strategies for parents struggling to provide healthy meals and snacks amidst hectic school and sports seasons.
