Reminder that you don’t need a detox. Just water, sleep, movement and some quality food.

Daily habits > restrictive trends

On this episode of Behind the Boilers, we feature our sports dietician @ERice_RD, who personally knows what it's like to #HammerDownCancer.

One of a kind. 💔

[Purdue Sports @PurdueSports]

Purdue Athletics lost a beloved member of its family with the sudden passing of Doug Boersma on Wednesday, June 21. Doug, a Purdue alum ('97), selflessly served as senior associate athletics director for performance and sports medicine since returning to his alma mater in 2012.

When asking if they had any NSF certified protein, employees at GNC and Vitamin Shoppe had no idea what the logo was or meant.

Supplement stores are not experts in supplements or supplement use.

The right time to make a change is right now. It won’t be perfect and it doesn’t have to be. Just decide to start.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

If you want momentum, you’ll have to create it yourself, right now, by getting up and getting started.

I repeat. Caffeine does not give you energy!!

[Brandon Marcello PhD @bmarcello13]

Caffeine doesn’t give one energy. Caffeine is a sympathomemetic drug, which as the name implies, mimics the sympathetic nervous system. Only fats, protein, and carbohydrates give one energy.

The ride of a lifetime.

Thank you, @shaunwhite. #WinterOlympics

It’s easy to get lost in the options but what is essential? Are you busy or are you making progress?

True in a lot of life aspects but also with nutrition. Especially the top 3 questions. And especially if you are an athlete.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

Questions to ask yourself every day:

- Is this essential?
- Am I progressing?
- Why am I taking this so seriously?
- Am I making a positive contribution?

Huge thanks to @ERice_RD for presenting to our wrestlers today! Maintain your plate to maintain your weight!

It’s easier to say “I can’t” instead of
“I won’t”.

Change is going to happen.

You can drive the change, or you can let the change drive you.

[Ellen Rice RD, LDN, CSSD @ERice_RD]

Do you have a mission statement and core values?

Career or personal: these are the statements to look back on when you feel off track.

And everyone gets off track. Reflect, refocus and move forward.

[Ellen Rice RD, LDN, CSSD @ERice_RD]

@TreadAthletics Sufficient calories are huge. Even though your activity is low the process of healing increases calorie needs. Focusing on adequate protein and anti-inflammatory carbs + fats to help preserve lean mass and promote healing. I would also add creatine to your list of supplements.

[Ellen Rice RD, LDN, CSSD @ERice_RD]

@TreadAthletics Nutrition!! Pre and post- surgical food and supplements can play a huge role in all stages of recovery. Could also tie into #s 1+2 reviewing the cause of the injury and optimizing habits for return to play.
