Athletic Performance & Recovery Consultation
Balance health and performance, and optimise recovery to improve performance.
Remember that story about the fit 50 year old athlete that collapsed of a heart attack? There is so much more to health than just athletic performance, and sometimes the things we do for performance may not be the best for our health.
And performance is shaped by far more than training alone. This consultation focuses on the lifestyle and recovery factors that influence performance, energy, recovery, and long-term health.
This consultation may be right for you if you:
Train regularly and want to optimise performance.
Feel fatigued or struggle with recovery.
Follow a plant-based diet or are interested in starting a plant-based diet for performance and recovery.
Are an athlete (professional or recreational) and want to make sure you're optimising your long-term health as well as your performance.
Would like a referral for a Dexa body composition scan as part of the assessment.
Common Concerns We Address:
Why am I struggling to recover?
Why has my performance plateaued?
Why do I feel constantly fatigued?
What is limiting my performance outside of training?
Is my nutrition optimised?
What supplements should I be taking for my health and performance?
What we explore during this consultation:
Nutrition
We will evaluate your current nutrition and identify areas for improvement to optimise recovery as well as long-term health, with a key focus on whole foods, nutrient density, protein quantity and quality, and recovery nutrition.
Sleep & Stress
Nutrition and movement form the foundation for disease management and reversal. But chronic stress and poor sleep can contribute significantly and affect our ability to implement nutrition and exercise interventions.
Sleep
Sleep is key for recovery because it is the time when repair and growth takes place following exercise. We will evaluate your sleep habits and develop morning and evening routines to optimise the quality of your sleep.
Body Composition
We go beyond just a number on a scale and focus on optimising body composition, as fat and muscle have very different metabolic impacts on disease. We may recommend a Dexa body composition scan for you.
Biomarkers
We will do comprehensive blood results evaluating not only your overall health, but also your nutrition status and factors that could be impacting your performance. Athletes also have slightly different targets for certain biomarkers.
Biomarkers
Depending on your age, family history, and conditions, we will order blood tests to evaluate your health and biological age. Genetic testing may be added if there is a concern. Bone density and body composition can also be investigated if desired.
What you get out of this Chronic Disease Consultation:
One hour, expert-led consultation with Dr Roxie Becker to review your health history, current habits, and goals.
A personalised, evidence-based lifestyle medicine action plan covering nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, and supplement support.
Repeat prescriptions for your chronic medication.
Personal medical support and monitoring, with expert-led deprescribing when safe and appropriate (meaning reducing your medication dosages/stopping them altogether once your lifestyle changes become effective).
Ongoing support over WhatsApp while you make lifestyle changes between your follow ups, whether you have questions about your blood sugars, blood pressures, if a certain food fits into your plan, if you should start taking a supplement you found in the pharmacy etc.
