Helping You Understand Why To Create Healthy Food Islands:

Food Islands? Healthy or not so healthy, today we dig into ways for you to improve your healthy eating throughout the day. It doesn’t need to be a four course, gourmet meal to FUEL yourself.

Erin’s focus lies in supporting her clients’ nutritional needs and their use of foods to help them build health while enhancing performance. She has over 20 years of nutrition coaching experience.

A major focus of her studies is on nutritional interventions for the treatment of anxiety and depression, as well as using nutrition to help prevent heart disease and cancer. Additionally, she participates in a sports nutrition mentorship program with Bob Seebohar, a 2008 Olympic Team Dietician.

Erin works with a variety of high school and collegiate athletic teams, including Lehigh University Wrestling, Lafayette men’s soccer and women’s basketball, along with IronMan triathletes and other individual athletes at varying levels in their career. Her passion for helping people live healthier lives and compete at their best is evident through the time she spends with each of her clients and customizing their nutritional plans.

Erin’s curiosity into the science of nutrition began when she was a student-athlete. While competing as one of the top swimmers in her league, she credits her success to following her coaches’ recommendations for different nutritional strategies for training and competition cycles. Her success in swimming continued into master’s swim competitions and now into Ragnar Relay Races, Spartan Races, and Tough Mudders. Erin is currently training for her first triathlon.

Final Words:

People get so afraid of food. It’s Erin’s passion and her goal to change that from fear to the power that food has. Teaching to build health into our bodies and to help people to understand how to use food to do that. Let’s get away from all of this fear-based messaging. We need to take a step back from that and learn how to empower ourselves and not to be afraid of it.

065: Our False Healthy Halo with Erin Sparrold

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 14:00:00 +0000

False Healthy Halo Co-Host Education:

Today’s episode is a return of certified nutritionist, Erin Sparrold, CN, MET of Mind of the Athlete. Erin returns to catch up on health, nutrition, but most importantly to talk more on this “False Healthy Halo” we’ve been creating overtop of our health and nutritional goals. A reminder, Erin Sparrold is a sports nutritionist with a passion for improving the health and performance of athletes. She has over 20 years of nutrition coaching experience.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:00″] Erin’s upcoming cooking event here in Bethlehem at Seasons Olive Oil along with what this craze is with using the terminology “Nom Nom” in relation to hunger or excitement.
[spp-timestamp time=”4:55″] Puglia, Italy and the Puglia Pinch taste from the purity of Villa Cappelli Olive Oil. Use Scott’s discount code “FUEL” to get 10% off your order!
[spp-timestamp time=”5:55″] Erin must read the book, Extra Virginity. All USA consumers need to learn about the “Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil.” There’s no purity regulations to protect the consumers and a whole lot more that’s going wrong.
[spp-timestamp time=”12:30″] Erin’s funny story on Bone Broth.
[spp-timestamp time=”15:30″] Our toxic bodies and how our taste buds can become desensitized.
[spp-timestamp time=”17:55″] Stripping out healthy fats, for example on our salads, may impact how our bodies absorb necessary nutrients. Certain nutrients are not as bio-available.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] Simplifying nutrition and biohacking.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:50″] Erin’s use of a False Healthy Halo to explain the improper food marketing that’s happening in our industry. It’s miss-educating consumers and sending us down unhealthy paths while making us think we’re making healthy decisions.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:15″] Blanketed “diets” can be quite unhelpful. We need to adapt and modify them to fit each unique person’s lifestyle.
[spp-timestamp time=”36:30″] How my own father’s heart doctor was incorrectly advising him on healthy heart diets. He was telling him to eat Cheerios vs real, whole, eggs. Eggs provide essential cholesterol that our cells require.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:45″] Our healthy gut microbiome.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:30″] Flip our current government approved, food pyramid upside down and we’ll see some amazing health improvements in this country.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] The history and the government subsidies that has influenced our grain production and increased recommended consumption.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:50″] Erin keeps us away from the False Healthy Halo. She keeps it simple by teaching us to buy, whole, minimally processed foods.
[spp-timestamp time=”57:10″] Final Words

Erin’s message, her Golden Nugget, is to keep this super simple. Living a healthy lifestyle takes us time to implement. Don’t expect perfection overnight and don’t expect it at the finish line either, it’s a constant process.
