In today's episode, I sat down for a conversation with registered dietitian Jessica Isaacs, who works full time as a dietitian in the NBA. We talked about her job working for the LA Clippers, and how she helps the athletes fuel for peak performance. We covered supplements (which ones are actually beneficial) and busted some sports nutrition myths. Jessica also explained what everyday athletes and fitness enthusiasts can learn from professional athletes when it comes to nutrition.
