You’ll walk away rethinking your plate and your pantry. Topics Included: Why nutrition is foundational to the CrossFit methodology. The Zone diet and the early culture of CrossFit nutrition. The difference between performance eating and long-term health. Why we need to cook again — and how it made us human. Practical, simple and realistic steps to address nutrition.

Years ago, Mike and his wife Angelina walked away from corporate jobs and big salaries in pursuit of something more meaningful. For Mike, an Army veteran still serving in the reserves, that meant giving back to the veteran community. In the early days, the gym focused heavily on charitable work and programs for wounded warriors and adaptive athletes. From training three adaptive athletes on their way to the Paralympics to hosting teams like the Korean Adaptive Sled Hockey Team, CrossFit Optimistic became a national haven for adaptive training. Looking back, Mike says the hard times were worth it. He makes a modest living, gets to coach alongside his now-adult kids, and isn’t chasing more. When we asked what’s next, he smiled and said, “What do you do when your life exceeds your dreams?” Know someone you think deserves to be highlighted?

CrossFit’s theoretical hierarchy for the development of an athlete begins with nutrition at the base and moves to metabolic conditioning, gymnastics, weightlifting, and finally, sport. The foundation of fitness and health is nutrition because how we eat either supports or undermines our fitness over time. Eating is something we are guaranteed to do frequently throughout our lives, and the choices we make about what, how much, and when to eat determine how we look, feel, think, sleep, learn, move, and thrive (or not) in every area of our lives. Nutrition is perhaps the most potent variable in determining health, which is why it forms the base of the pyramid. With that context in mind, it’s important to note that the cellular and molecular adaptations that result from what we eat either support or detract from our fitness. Whether the goal is avoiding chronic disease or performing athletically at the highest level, nutrition is the critical and foundational piece of the puzzle. Watch this conversation with Jocelyn Rylee, a Level 4 coach with a master of science in human nutrition, to learn what needs to happen at the bottom of the pyramid to get the best results for overall health and performance. Jocelyn has been doing CrossFit since 2008 and has been deeply involved in the community ever since. She has completed specialties in endurance, gymnastics, competition, and weightlifting. She also holds the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning designation and is an NCCP level 2 Olympic weightlifting coach. She is a level 3 referee in the sport of weightlifting and was a board member of the Saskatchewan Weightlifting Association for five years. __ CrossFit is the world’s leading platform for improving health and performance.
