EP 55. Athlete comfort w Jono Stedman (sports dietitian)   The effect of comfort on sports performance is of logical significance.    Often the pursuit of comfort can override what’s considered to be ‘optimal’, or what the sports nutrition textbook or research paper said.   Trying to apply sports nutrition strategies ‘by the book’, being an evidence-based warrior who can’t critically think and expecting it to stick is often either a losing battle or simply not worthwhile in practice.    In episode 55 of the Macabolic podcast, I was lucky enough to be joined by Sports dietitian Jono Steedman to discuss the science to practice side of coaching an athlete or sports enthusiast. We talk about stimulants, considering risk v reward of supplements, and some of the things about ‘nutrition coaching’ that can only really be learned in the real world working with real people.   If you enjoyed this episode please share it to your Instagram story and tag myself ( @mackenziebaker_ ) and Jono ( @jonosteedman ). It would be greatly appreciated.    I hope you enjoy this and get something helpful from it.    Mac
