USA Triathlete Grady Funk’s story

Prior to seeing Stella at W8less Nutrition, I was consuming a lot of processed grains, cereals, soy, and frozen dinners. I was strictly concerned about my caloric intake rather than the actual makeup of the food I was consuming. I had a lot of indigestion and my energy levels would go up and down all day. I was not aware of the importance of getting my nutrients from its raw source and how it attributes to digestion, recovery, and my overall energy level.

Since I have changed my diet and gotten away from processed foods, I have noticed a steady energy level throughout the day and my recovery rate is far beyond what it used to be. With 30 hours of training a week and 40 hours of work, it is vital I put the correct foods in my “engine” that allow me to complete my workouts with focus, and also allow it to recover for the next day.

Mission Statement & Philosophy: Stella Metsovas integrates research-backed information to create the ultimate, dietary-prescription based on your unique biochemistry, lifestyle, and physiology. No meal plans or calorie-dependent diets, just individual, specific, nutrition.

Methodology: “Individual. Specific. Nutrition”

Individual: Comprehensive analysis is generally overlooked in clinical practice. It’s imperative to identify imbalances and/or issues related to digestion, metabolism and lifestyle – by examining data provided by the client

Specific: Fad diets come and go. The multi-billion-dollar-a-year diet industry constantly looks for strategies to lure in money from consumers; all the while misleading them into thinking they are getting personalized diets. The most accurate personalized approach is to use diagnostic measures, such as:

Respiratory testing: to figure out resting expenditure and metabolic rate

Blood testing: to understand underlying micronutrient deficiencies

Stool testing: for yeast imbalance and gut-transit issues

Genetic testing: salivary tests for hormones and their metabolic influences (e.g., cortisol and digestion)

Nutrition: “One man’s food is another man’s poison.” Understanding nutrient interactions within our bodies is key to achieving good health. Nutrition is the foundation to optimal health.

USA Swimmer Francis “Fran” Crippen (April 17, 1984 – October 23, 2010)

I began working with Fran during 2007 – 2008. In my opinion, he was the perfect athlete: hard working, never complained, always followed ‘the rules’ to a tee. Fran was always interested in how to better himself in the water by consuming the best foods available. We used a few methods to develop a plan suitable for his training needs, which included: a food rotation diet to discover any intolerance’s to foods, FDA-approved metabolic assessment, source of calories versus amount of calories, etc…

When I received the news of Fran’s passing, I simply could not believe Fran would have died in the manner initially expressed by the United Arab Emirates Swimming Federation. Time will soon tell the true nature of all circumstances surrounding the event.

Rest in Peace
