Nutrition for Athletes with Medical Concerns

A short list of medical concerns Dr. Schubert has helped athletes accommodate:

• Bariatric surgery: shifting from a post-surgical diet to a training or competitive diet – in a way comfortable for the athlete!
• Food allergies
• Type 1 diabetes, insulin adjustments, carbohydrate needs
• Medications and side effects of those meds related to cholesterol and blood pressure
• GI issues, including achalasia, gastric reflux, nausea and vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, slow transit, bloating, and gas
• Intuitive eating to help ease anxiety around disordered eating
• Loss of menstrual cycle due to not eating enough (underfueling) and related stress fractures
• Concussions
• Post-surgery recovery, along with related body weight and muscle mass concerns

Dr. Schubert prefers a minimum of three months subscription services to solve problems or get through significant phases of training or recovery. However, several of these concerns could also be eased in a single appointment.
