Philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach stated, "We are what we eat," emphasizing the profound impact of food on our physical, energetic, psychological, and spiritual well-being. Our diet influences not only our body but also our thoughts and emotions. The link between mood and food choices is evident—when feeling down, we tend toward heavier, disharmonious foods, whereas a positive mood guides us to lighter, more harmonious options.

The idea that there are no inherently "good" or "bad" foods underlines the importance of good diets versus bad diets. The term "diet" should not be associated with sacrifice but rather as a Greek concept for a correct lifestyle promoting well-being, health, and energy. Achieving a sound mind in a healthy body is a tangible goal through a balanced diet, a tool for self-love and well-being.

It's crucial to recognize individual differences, lifestyles, and emotional histories in our relationship with food. To navigate this, seeking guidance from a professional who can create a personalized diet tailored to specific needs and circumstances is essential. Your diet is a unique expression of self-care and balance, contributing to a healthier and more fulfilled life.

What does the first visit involve?

1. Client reception

2. The description of your symptoms in relation to family, physiological, remote, remote pathological, work and risk history linked to your psycho-physical situation

3. The acquisition of one's own nutritional lifestyle;

4. Anthropometric measurements (e.g. weight, height, body mass index, body circumferences, assessment of body BIOTYPE)

5. An objective examination that allows us to collect any signs of illness; an explanation, from me, of any problems related to your health;

6. If necessary, the advice to carry out in-depth diagnostic tests with specific tests, so as to be able to decide on your personalized diet.

After an initial consultation, I recommend an impedance test to assess body composition, including lean mass, fat mass, and water distribution. The formulation of a personalized diet is based on a comprehensive analysis, considering health, lifestyle, and preferences.

While prioritizing your tastes, the diet is meticulously calibrated to meet your specific needs, promoting well-being and long-term health. Regular monitoring sessions, aligned with your psychophysical state and goals, ensure ongoing support, allowing adjustments as needed. Our collaborative journey involves addressing difficulties and celebrating the achieved results together.

At SPSA, our specialized Nutritionist employs Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) to offer clients and athletes a state-of-the-art, evidence-based tool for assessing baseline conditions before crafting personalized nutritional or supplementation programs. Utilizing the cutting-edge BIA 101 BIVA® PRO IPS edition from AKERN®, our center is equipped to evaluate nutritional, muscle, and hydroelectrolytic status through BIA techniques.

Bioimpedance has become the preferred method for assessing body composition in nutritional settings. BIA is a widely adopted technique for estimating body composition and relevant health parameters. Its simplicity, speed, precision, and non-invasiveness make it a preferred choice. BIA parameters, including resistance, reactance, phase angle, and impedance vector length, allow for the estimation of body composition such as fat, fat-free mass, and total-body water compartments. These raw measurements also serve as effective indicators for tracking hydration, malnutrition, and provide insights into disease prognosis, athletic performance, and overall health status.

A sports nutritionist caters to individuals across all age groups and skill levels with tailored programs.

For teenagers, crucial in their growth phase, a nutritionist helps instill healthy eating habits for optimal development and energy levels.

Amateurs benefit from optimizing the synergy between nutrition and physical activity for overall well-being.

Agonists receive guidance on appropriate food choices to enhance performance and sustain energy.

Professionals, especially those in high-intensity sports like basketball, require personalized diets considering individual characteristics and lifestyle. Training alone is insufficient; a holistic approach encompassing nutrition, hydration, and rest is essential for optimal results. Personalized discussions with a sports nutritionist are vital to address protein, energy, hydration, supplement, and micronutrient needs, ensuring the best choices for performance improvement and overall well-being.
