PHASE IV TEAM PHILOSOPHY
PHASE IV’s team of highly experienced Nutrition Specialists, Functional Health Specialists, Exercise Physiologists, Physical Therapists, and Performance Specialists work together with your doctors and you. Sustainable weight management empowers you to redefine your relationship with your body and helps you regain control of how it works. Your individualized program will be based on the same principles and experience we use to transform NCAA competitors into Olympic Medalists and 5k runners into World Champion Ironman athletes. The process for a professional athlete is the same for anyone else; because the same laws of nature apply to all of us.
Nutrition Specialists at PHASE IV understand this process is not “one size fits all.” We incorporate a whole personalized solution to help you reach your health and fitness goals. We recognize that not only digestive and metabolic issues impact your nutrient absorption and weight control, but also your stress level and sleep patterns as well. Because these life and health issues affect your hormone balance, they also affect your weight control; for this reason, a comprehensive approach to functional health is incorporated into your nutrition and weight management program.
What you eat and the food you choose for fuel must re-engineer your metabolism, and be consistent with your health and fitness goals. Our Nutritionist will guide your program and assess your progress giving you the support you need to achieve your goals.
We have created sustainable nutrition and weight management programs consistently and successfully for over 35 years with people just like you, and we do it better than anyone else.

Recovery Nutrition and Hydration
The most common problem in all athletes is an improper hydration and nutrition schedule, often overlooked and misunderstood.
What you provide your muscles and peripheral tissues and organs after a workout is vital to your success as an athlete.
PHASE IV will teach you how to tailor your nutrition and hydration to the essential recovery cycle. What you do post exercise training will increase the fitness value of all your workouts.
Recovery nutrition is built into all PHASE IV Periodization training models because it’s needed whether you feel hungry thirsty or not.
After your workout, your body is in a state of stress and needs nourishment. Usually after exercise your body will be dehydrated, your blood insulin levels will be low, Cortisol and other “breakdown” hormones will be high, your glycogen (fuel stores) will be low or depleted, and your muscles will have accumulated waste products. Your recovery nutrition should reverse this process and restore you to a hydrated, fueled, recovered, and muscle building state.
The time to figure out the best mix of calories and fluids for your personal physiology is now!
Performance Nutrition and Hydration
At PHASE IV, we identify nutrition and hydration issues that you may have in preparation for your next race/ride, and for your performance in life and sport!How to achieve your personal weight goals and ideal performance body weight begins with unlocking the mysteries of your personal physiology, and finding your optimum fat burning exercise zones. The perfect balance of training and exercise, recovery, and nutrition, is a science.
Science-based heart rate prescriptions are based on your metabolic testing results. Using your testing results, we will design a weight management program for you based specifically on your own uniquely personal physiology, genetics and metabolism.
Your dietary intake will be analyzed for macro and micronutrient content. Deficiencies and excesses in your diet and exercise will be identified. You will receive personalized dietary guidelines specific to your needs based on your activity level, and a PHASE IV registered dietitian will review your progress and make necessary adjustments to your program.
