Talking Nutrition with Cara Clark – Episode #8

Jenn talks with Cara Clark, an integrative nutritionist and wellness educator certified in sports and clinical nutrition, blood chemistry, and integrative health. She has thousands of clients nationwide, ranging from group challenge participants to celebrities, Olympic athletes, and professional athletes from the NBA and MLB, including draft prospects.

Her goal is to help them feel better in their bodies by moving away from “dieting” and instead understanding the connection between what we eat and how we feel. She is the primary nutritionist for fitness app and online community fit52 and contributed to the book Find Your Path. I co-authored The Wellness Remodel, and now I have my own book, The Feel-Good Way: Simple Recipes for a Better Life, which will be released in 2025 by Penguin Random House.

Cara believes feeling good starts with food. When you eat in a way that nourishes your body and balances your blood sugar, you don’t experience unhealthy cravings, and you don’t feel hungry, restricted, or deprived. You feel satisfied and energized. You begin to crave the food that makes you feel good. As you start to feel better from the inside, not only does your body feel lighter, your mind becomes clearer. You begin to feel hope, and that feeling of hope opens up all kinds of possibilities for your health and your life.

Balancing blood sugar prevents disease, promotes healing, and provides sustainable energy throughout the day while helping to burn stored fat in the body. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s a science-backed approach that works for everybody at every stage of life.
