Top Nutrition Concerns Seen in Adolescent Sports Medicine

Trying to figure if your young athlete needs iron to boost performance?

Uncertain if water or sports drinks would be be the best choice for the next practice or game?

Looking for healthy post-game snacks that will assist in muscle recovery?

Hearing a lot about protein and creatine supplements but not sure if adolescent athletes should use them?

You've come to the right place for practical answers to these and many other nutrition questions that I regularly hear in my sports medicine practice.

In appreciation of CHOC Children's Hospital inviting me to speak on Top Sports Nutrition Concerns Seen in Adolescent Sports Medicine first at their RDs in Practice – Pediatric Sports Nutrition conference and following up with a Pediatric Grand Rounds on the same subject,  figured I would compile a list of past blog posts that will form the backbone of those presentations.

Eager to hear of any additional nutrition or other sports medicine based questions- will offer initial responses via email but always available for office consultations and more in-depth recommendations
