N is for Nutrition
This week on the Building Championship Mindsets podcast, Dr. Selking discusses the importance of nutrition. Ninety percent of information travels from the stomach to the brain, making a direct impact on mental and emotional functioning. Dr. Selking shares her personal experience of using nutrition to combat a potential threat of thyroid cancer and emphasizes the power of nutrition in healing and optimizing the body. She shares how you can be mindful of nutrition in at least one meal daily to fuel optimal physical, mental, and emotional performance.

Championship Mindset Training | Midweek Mental Rep
Get a blood panel done and check your vitamin and mineral levels. Make sure that your vitamin levels are balanced and regulated. If you don't have an opportunity to get a blood panel done, be mindful of what you're putting into your body and ask yourself: Will this fuel the nutrition to help position me physically, mentally and emotionally to be my best self?
STANDOUT QUOTES
- “Imagine what could happen to our world if our kids understood the power that their mind has to position them to be who they've been created to be and the courage and confidence that it would give them to do the hard things necessary that require our world to function into the future." -Dr. Amber Selking [00:50]
- “Everything that we put into our stomach has direct implications on mental functioning and often emotional functioning and therefore all the other physiological functioning throughout the course of our bodies. It is important for us to understand that if we really want to win the mental game and show up as the best version of ourselves, our nutrition can have a direct impact on our ability to heal and to get better.” -Dr. Amber Selking [02:09]
