Recreational and Master’s athletes are typically under-served and not well understood in traditional medicine. Often, when athletes feel something is off and seek care with a conventional medical provider, they are told their labs are “normal.” “Normal” labs may not be enough to keep an athlete functioning at an optimal level. Athletes and especially masters’ athletes, have different nutritional and metabolic needs compared to non-athletes. When these nutritional and metabolic needs are not met, they can prevent progress with athletic performance and cause athletic performance to slip. Athletes are typically very in tune with their bodies and know when something is not right.
