I have struggled with my relationship with food in the past, and at times been afraid to eat when I know I’ve needed to because of these issues. — Understanding my nutrition has been an ongoing journey and I feel really proud of how far I have come. For a while, I knew certain foods were ‘triggering’ for me, and would inevitably mean I wouldn’t feel great after eating them but I mostly tried to ignore that reality. I actually just accepted that feeling bloated was a symptom of eating a big meal or stress. - In 2018 I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Celiac is an autoimmune disease - and actually, 60-70% of celiacs are female. It can be triggered at any age, and many people live their lives undiagnosed. It affects at least 1% of the population, but recent studies found it may be closer to 3%. Despite how pervasive it is, “gluten free” often gets lumped in with “vegan” or “vegetarian,” even though ironically it has nothing to do with this. - Today is #celiacawareness day, and I chose to share my journey because what we eat affects who we are and our health. We all have certain sacrifices we may need to make in our own lives to feel our best, and I think that taking the stigma out of talking about our individual nutritional needs can be helpful. - Learning and understanding my nutrition better has been a big part of my personal growth over the last years; finding healing, confidence, and performance in nourishing my body properly. - Regardless of being a professional athlete, I think it’s really important that all of us feel our best day in and day out. But it’s not easy, even if you know what you need I have found that the food market can be incredibly confusing and full of greenwashing. What is good for one person isn’t always going to be the best for another. I do believe strongly in understanding what works for each of us on an individual level and also in eating real food. - That has been an ethos in my lifestyle as well as in founding my company @sendbars — I always made my snacks at home and traveled with them around the world; I’m so thankful to share them now with you!」5月17日 0時55分
