Weight Loss

When it comes to nutrition and weight loss, there are no shortages of promises for quick fixes. These often result in rapid weight loss, but also in a rebound weight gain after the program has finished, not to mention malnutrition during the program.

At Absolute Athlete Care, Dr. Tracey understands that there is no shot-gun approach to weight loss. She will work with you to create an effective plan that will fit your lifestyle. Recognizing that nutrition, inflammation, physical activity, hormones, digestive function, stress, sleep quality, and a myriad of other factors can influence weight loss, we can create a tailored and successful individualized approach.

Surgery Preparation & Recovery

While we don't love when our patients have to have surgery, we recognize that it is often a necessary part of your return to an active and healthy lifestyle. At Absolute Athlete Care, we can help you understand the implications and processes of your upcoming surgery.

We can also help you reduce your post-surgical discomfort and recovery time through a variety of treatments, including acupuncture, nutrition, hydrotherapy, manual treatment, and homeopathy. Book your pre-surgical consult here.
 

Sports Nutrition

You train day in and day out. We know that. And we can tailor a nutrition and recovery plan to suit your goals. Whether your goals are podium at your next event, to finish your first 5 km race, or to get to the gym three times a week, we can design a custom nutrition plan for your body, and your goals.

Every body is different, and we don't believe in cookie cutter approach. We'll work with you to create an effective approach for your day-to-day nutritional needs, pre workout and post-workout approaches to maximize gains,  and keep you energized and motivated!

Recovery & Injury Prevention

Every training session results in small amounts of muscle damage, and recovery is a key aspect to reducing injuries associated with our training. Ensuring proper recovery, through physical techniques, dietary choices and timing, and home care recommendations can help to improve performance, as well as prevent overtraining and burnout.

At Absolute Athlete Care, we have several tools available to assess your risk of injury, and your susceptibility to overtraining. And we have a variety of approaches to help you continue your training safely and effectively, leading to optimal performance gains, with minimal interruptions to your program.

Detoxification

Being physically active can put you at increased exposure to toxins in the environment. Whether it's chlorine from the swimming pool, exhaust fumes from sharing the roads while running or cycling, or working out indoors with poor ventilation, we're not immune to the toxic burden of these chemicals. Combine that with the daily onslaught of chemicals in cleaning products, beauty supplies, furniture, foods, and other sources, your body could probably use a little help.

It's true that your liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, and large intestine are well equipped to detoxify your body. But with the relentless overload of chemicals in our current environment, your body will likely benefit from supporting these organs and their detoxification pathways. Most over-the-counter detoxification programs are very low in calories and protein, and can leave active people feeling tired and sluggish. Let us design a program that fits with your lifestyle and training regimen.
 

Pain Management

Is pain preventing from living the active lifestyle you desire? At Absolute Athlete Care, we have a variety of treatment options that can help. From manual treatments, and acupuncture, to biomechanics and rehabilitation techniques, or diet modification and supplementation to support recovery and reduce pain, we can help you reduce pain, and return to your sport or activity.

We want you out there just as much as you do, so we'll do everything in our power to get you there!
