"Sports Nutrition: Fueling Performance or Feeding Obsession?” with former Beach Volleyball Athlete Gabby Reece

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I chat with former beach volleyball player, Gabby Reece. Gabby is entrepreneur and spokesperson, fitness coach, podcast host of the Gabby Reece show, New York Times best selling author, and mom of three. Gabby Reece and I explore a range of important topics, including her decision to leave professional sports, the role of nutrition post-injury and surgery, and the impact of body surveillance and swimwear sports on disordered eating. We also discuss common training mistakes made by young female athletes, how to transition from sport-focused nutrition to a more balanced approach for longevity, and strategies for raising healthy young athletes who aren’t obsessed with their bodies or food. I finish by answering the question: “can you eat intuitively while fueling for sport?” or will sports nutrition always require strict dieting and surveillance?
