Happy Spring!

Happy Spring from OPENutrition! This year has proven to be a busy one, with seminars in Seattle, Boulder, Denver, Lynnwood and Grand Junction already! Thanks a million to all of the affiliates who had us out and to all of the athletes who took the OPENutrition Challenge!

Coming up, we have the two day seminar at Crossfit Helix. After that we will be headed off to PaleoFX in Austin to rub elbows with everyone in the Paleo community! If you see us there, make sure to say hi! We’ll have a great big bag of KalliBar samples to hand out :)

The Women’s Psychology of Eating Forums have been a huge hit! Athletes have been very engaged and excited about the topic of eating psychology and how it can help them improve their nutrition. Our next women’s only forum will be at Crossfit Eminence in Thorton, Colorado next month. We are projected to have over thirty five ladies attend, so it is going to be a ton of fun!

At the end of April, we will be back at Northwest Crossfit in Washington. Our seminar is being hosted in Bellevue and we’ll be kicking off another OPENutrition Body Composition Challenge. If you are in the Seattle area, join us for the weekend and take on the challenge before summer hits!

Scheduling one on one nutrition consults is easier than ever now with OPENutrition! Thanks to our lovely assistant Carly, you can now check our availability through MindBody Online. Heather, Annah and Melynda are all available to work with clients over the phone on everything from weight loss to mass gains to eating psychology to race day nutrition. If you are looking for individual support with your diet, book a session with one of our nutrition gurus!

To help our athletes make sustainable change with their nutrition, we have partnered with Blue Valley Meats as well as Mile High Organics to bring you high quality meat and vegetables! Blue Valley Meats is now selling beef, pork and lamb at our nutrition seminars in the Seattle area as well as making deliveries to Crossfit gyms. Check out their website to see where they deliver (and make sure you order the OPENutrition package)! Sheri from Mile High Organics is helping us to bring meat and vegetables to Crossfit affiliates in Colorado. Winners of the OPENutrition Body Composition Challenge at Crossfit South Denver received a whole box of beef and veggies to celebrate their success!

If you are looking for one more way to measure your results from the OPENutrition Challenge, consider investing in a before and after body fat test with Rosanne Allen. Rosanne runs the body fat dunk tank of Colorado and is available at multiple Crossfit affiliates in the Front Range. To schedule a test with her, check out her website!

We wish you all a happy spring and hope to see you soon!

Women’s Psychology of Eating Seminar at Spirit Path Yoga

spy

OPENutrition is putting on a Women’s Psychology of Eating Seminar at Spirit Path Yoga! This is an exciting addition to the OPENutrition Seminar Series!

Did you know that you have a relationship with food? Have you ever wondered how you could improve that relationship? Join us for a fun and informational evening where we will dive into how stress affects digestion, assimilation and metabolism. We will cover some of the common toxic dietary beliefs such as “If I eat less and exercise more, I will lose weight.” You will also learn practical, easy to implement strategies to not only improve your nutritional status, but also help you to develop a healthy, satisfying relationship with food.

Space is limited, so please sign up register at Spirit Path Yoga. We look forward to seeing you there!

This is a women’s only event, but is open to athletes of all disciplines! Please bring female athletes, young, old and everywhere in between :)

Thank You!!

Thank you to all of the athletes who attended the seminars this weekend at Crossfit South Denver and Crossfit Helix! We had a GREAT turnout at both gyms and it was so much fun to meet a ton of new athletes!! Good luck to everyone taking the OPENutrition Challenge! We’ll see you in November for your “after” photos.

Would your gym benefit from a little nutrition schooling? OPENutrition is already booking gyms for January, so email Heather@OPENutrition.com if you would like to bring the seminar series to your box!

OPENutrition Seminar Series at Crossfit South Denver!

Yahoo! OPENutrition has been invited to give the OPENutrition Seminar Series at Crossfit South Denver!! We will be kicking off Saturday, October 13th. Register online at EVENTBRITE.com.

This is a three part seminar series that spans two days. On Saturday, October 13th, you will learn the OPENutrition 101 principles. Are you unsure why following a grain, legume and dairy free diet is good for health, body composition and performance? Guess what…in this hour and a half long seminar you will learn why!

After lunch, we will be doing the OPENutrition Body Composition Seminar and kicking off the 5 Week Body Composition Challenge! Did you lean out last time and now you’re ready to mass gain? Do you still need to lose a couple pounds to get better at all of the body weight workouts at your gym? Anybody and everybody can benefit from cleaning up their diet for 5 weeks, so come get your before and after photos taken, do some benchmark workouts with Crossfit South Denver, and make yourself eligible to win some pretty killer prizes!!

The third and final part of the seminar series will be November 17th. We will be talking about post-workout nutrition for leaning out, gaining mass, endurance athletics and performance. This is a great addition to your sports nutrition knowledge and can dramatically impact your recovery from training.

The $70 registration covers you for all three seminars. Folks who do not attend the seminar are NOT eligible to enter the body composition challenge (sorry!).

Thank you to Clark at Crossfit South Denver for letting us come and work with your athletes! It will be great to see some familiar faces from Crossfit Denver and hopefully meet a whole bunch of new folks!!

THANK YOU TELLURIDE + DENVER!!

WOW! We had an amazing turnout for both our OPENutrition 101 Seminars at Telluride Crossfit and the Body Composition Seminar at Crossfit Denver! Record attendance numbers and very smart, enthusiastic crowds. Thank you to all who attended and to Andrew, Teresa and Steve for hosting. Folks participating in the OPENutrition 5 Week Body Composition Challenge at Crossfit Denver can post food photos, recipes, grocery store deals, meal ideas and more on the Group Facebook Page. We will wrap up the challenge with after photos, a potluck and a seminar on Dynamic Eating Psychology on July 15th. Telluride Crossfit athletes can look forward to the 6 Week Challenge Kick off on July 21st. In the meantime, OPENutrition is off to Alaska to eat halibut, scallops, salmon, and moose in mass quantities :)
