Nutrition

One of the most important things to remember is that you are surrounded by people who care about you: your coaches, trainers, nutritional advisors, mentors, and companies building and representing healthy, life-changing products and services. You have access to all of these. We live in an immensely privileged country where these things are but a click away at any given moment. Be humble, grateful, and always generous to them. This is how a better world is created for all of us.

Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with one of Charlotte’s premier Crossfit coaches and nutrition experts, Jessica Pinkerton. Pinkerton has a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and biology and a master’s degree in health promotion and health education. She is Precision Nutrition Certified and works one-on-one with athletes and nutrition clients. She is co-owner and coach at one of Charlotte’s largest Crossfit gyms, Crossfit Vitality. Pinkerton discusses the benefits of a whole foods diet for athletes of all types. She discusses, in detail, how food choices not only affect how our bodies look, but more importantly, how our bodies feel and perform.
