Nutritional strategies as tools

This week, I sat down with Erik Bustillo, MS, RD, FISSN. He is the CEO of Erik Bustillo Consulting. He has been in healthcare/fitness for well over a decade. He is a Registered Dietitian, Fellow (and Certified Sports Nutritionist) of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, a Certified Sports Nutritionist, a Certified Strength Coach, a Certified CrossFit Level 2 Coach, and a Certified Personal Trainer. He earned his Bachelor's in Dietetics & Nutrition and his Master's in Applied Exercise Science and Sports Nutrition. He specializes in reading blood/lab values that have a direct effect on health and performance. Several fields of expertise are energy improvement, performance recovery, weight loss, working with professional/elite athletes, and stress management. Erik has experience in medical nutrition therapy and lifestyle/health coaching. He is a published author in several scientific journals. He is a world-renowned speaker and works closely with military groups, including armed forces groups of the United States of America, such as the Navy and the Army. One of his passions is educating, and he does this on many levels, from lecturing for sports teams, to guest lecturing at universities, presenting to tactical athlete groups, corporate wellness and helping other dietitians and coaches grow in their careers.
