Are you asking ChatGPT, AI, or Facebook groups what supplements your gymnast needs? Maybe your gymnast is tired, sore, injured, getting sick often, struggling to recover, or not gaining strength — and as a parent, you just want to help. So you ask: Does she need magnesium? Iron? Creatine? Electrolytes? Protein powder? A multivitamin? But when it comes to pediatric and adolescent gymnasts, supplements are not that simple. In this episode, Christina continues her four-part series on what ChatGP...
Are you asking ChatGPT, AI, or an online calculator how many calories your gymnast needs? It might seem like a simple question. But when it comes to pediatric and adolescent gymnasts, calorie needs are anything but simple. In this episode, Christina continues her four-part series on what ChatGPT and AI do not know about your gymnast’s nutrition, and today’s focus is calorie needs. Because while AI can give you a polished answer, a number, or even a full meal plan, it cannot accurately assess ...
Are you using ChatGPT, AI, or a generic meal plan to figure out what your gymnast should be eating? AI can be helpful for a lot of things, but when it comes to your gymnast’s nutrition, growth, development, injuries, training load, and recovery, there are major limitations parents need to understand. In this episode, Christina kicks off a four-part series on what ChatGPT and AI do not know about your gymnast’s nutrition. Because while AI may sound confident, polished, and helpful, it cannot p...
Is your gymnast heading into summer training with big goals, upgrade dreams, or hopes of moving up a level this fall? Summer in gymnastics may be short, but it is one of the most important times of year for building strength, power, endurance, and new skills. But your gymnast cannot get stronger, recover well, or make the most of upgrade season if they are under-fueled. In this episode, Christina breaks down why summer training requires a different level of nutrition support, especially when ...
Has your gymnast been told their injury is “just overuse,” “just part of gymnastics,” or something they’ll grow out of? Have you asked the doctor if nutrition could help — only to be told to “eat healthy,” take vitamin D, or maybe add a multivitamin? For many injured gymnasts, that advice is not enough. In this episode, Christina breaks down the connection between nutrition, under-fueling, growth, development, and common gymnastics injuries like stress fractures, stress reactions, OCD, gymnas...
Is your gymnast going through puberty and suddenly looking slower, less powerful, or less consistent in the gym? Has a coach, pediatrician, or even your own worry made you wonder if your gymnast’s weight or changing body is the problem? This is one of the most sensitive and misunderstood topics in gymnastics and when it’s handled the wrong way, it can cause serious harm to a gymnast’s relationship with food, body image, performance, and long-term health. In this episode, Christina breaks down...

Do meals feel like a struggle, leaving you second-guessing what you’re doing? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and it may not be what you think. In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most common (and misunderstood) challenges parents face: when your gymnast seems drawn to less nutritious foods. Because while it’s easy to assume it’s about h...
