The Professional and Serious Athelete

January 2005

This month's newsletter focuses on the professional or serious athlete. It really does not matter which sport the athlete is involved, but instead, it is critical to understand the importance of nutritional support required to protect the health of the athlete and enhance his or her performance. This month's newsletter will shine a light on this subject from a medical standpoint and hopefully give the reader a much better understanding of what is necessary to achieve both goals of optimal performance and optimal health.
