In this episode, we’re redefining what a “dance nutrition plan” really means — because it’s not about shrinking your body. It’s about fueling for strength, recovery, and confidence in your dancing.
You’ll learn how to build a flexible, supportive approach to nutrition that enhances performance, supports bone health and mental wellness, and helps you feel truly at home in your body.
We’ll explore:
The Stress–Adaptation Cycle and why recovery and nutrition are just as essential as training.
How consistent eating and a supportive mindset can free you from food guilt and help you maintain steady energy.
The Functional Five framework — a simple, adaptable way to build balanced dancer meals without perfectionism.
How to spot the signs of underfueling and recognize when your body is thriving with enough nourishment.
Through personal and client stories, you’ll see how shifting the focus from control to care leads to lasting strength and joy in dance.
💬 Tune in to discover:
What it really looks like to fuel your body for performance, recovery, and wellbeing — and how to start building your own dance nutrition plan today.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
