Nutrition: Micronutrients Matter

When people talk about "nutrition," 90% of the conversation is about macros (protein, carbs, fat).
But micronutrients — vitamins, minerals, electrolytes — are the invisible gears that keep your body performing at its best.

Why Micronutrients Matter:

  • Support enzyme reactions (energy production, recovery, muscle contractions)

  • Boost immune function (helping you stay consistent, not sidelined)

  • Improve sleep quality and stress tolerance

  • Aid in muscle repair and connective tissue health

Top Strategies to Cover Your Bases:

  • Eat a rainbow: Different colors = different nutrients. Aim for 3+ colors on your plate.

  • Prioritize real food first: Fruits, veggies, meats, nuts, seeds, whole grains.

  • Use smart supplementation: A basic multivitamin or greens powder can supplement — but not replace — a solid diet.

🚫 Common Mistakes:

  • 🚫 Relying on processed foods even if macros are “hit”

  • 🚫 Ignoring hydration (electrolytes matter too)
