Triathlon may be labeled as an individual sport but it is
far from it! We are out there on race day on our own, but nobody gets to the
start line without a team!
The triathlon journey is a process that goes far and beyond
the finishing time on race day, and strong support network of family, coaches,
sponsors, and supporters make a big difference. All these people create YOUR
team, and are along for the ride full of ups and downs.
I am super excited to have expanded my team this year to
include The Refreshinq Co.! Their goal is to help everyone from top performing
athletes to weekend warriors become their best AND never quit getting better
via all natural, pharmacist-curated supplements in
the form of vitamin packs and/or patches!
Quick look at some of the Refreshinq Co. products
Their goals line up perfectly with mine, and although my
partnership has just started few months ago, they have already been a key part
of my team in my mission to never quit reaching my goals, and leaving no stone
unturned on my journey to the top of the Ironman World Championship podium.
Taking advantage of Refreshinq’s RQ program has already
proven critical in my continuous development as an athlete that goes far beyond
swim, bike and run.
The RQ program showed me exactly what was going on inside my
body (via InsideTracker blood test), and it further provided me with next steps
to optimize not only my overall health, but also my performance.
I did my Insidetracker blood test after a long/tough and
pretty aggressive 10 week training build toward my first race of the
season – Ironman Texas, and less than 48 hours after my longest training run of
21 miles on the Boston marathon course. Throughout my build I was feeling
strong week after week, but I was definitely quite tired and sore after this
run which wasn’t surprising – the hills of the Boston marathon course along
with the accumulated fatigue will do that to you.

aggressive build. Blue dot simulates my fitness, while red dot (pink line)
simulates my continuously building fatigue week after week.
After I received my InsideTracker blood test results, I
completed an assessment form to give my “personal coach”(RQ Health Coach) more
information with regards to my background, activity level and goals, and was
then contacted shortly after. My “personal coach” and I went over each
and individual blood biomarker regardless of whether those biomarkers fell into
the optimal range or not, and we further discussed how they affect my health
& performance, and what I can do to optimize each.
It was very eye opening, and enlightening to know what each
biomarker means and how it relates to my goals instead of asking “google” and
worrying that there may be something seriously wrong with me because that’s
exactly what I did when I saw this:
What the heck is wrong with my liver? (Pro Tip: Stay away from WebMD!)
Oh, you just trained
really hard for a while, and so your muscles are well – feeling it! This IS
related to your increased liver enzymes – got it! (I finally feel like a huge
weight got lifted of my chest)
No, I didn’t have a serious condition that Mr. Google
suggested, and could stop worrying. Thank you Refreshinq! You put my mind at
peace, when I was explained just how all these biomarkers are related to each
other and my training.
Having the ability to speak with an experienced health coach
allowed me to understand just when nutrition is enough to optimize my health
& performance and when vitamins/supplements are necessary.
What is even better is that I don’t have to spend more time
online or in a CVS isle searching for which supplement – in my case which
probiotic is best for me, because The Refreshinq Co. has me covered!
The advantages don’t stop here. Knowing that the recommended
supplements are all natural, pharmaceutical grade and 3rd party
tested is just another added and very important benefit to me as an athlete and
supporter of clean sport!
I am very excited to have The Refreshinq Co. part of my
team, and would highly suggest for all of you to check them out and give them a
try! Whether you are a weekend warrior or elite level athlete, their products
AND services are first class and will make a difference in your health and
performance! Let them help you never quit reaching your goals!
