When you train hard and recover hard, one major factor often gets overlooked: your nutrition. At Guerrilla Performance & Recovery, we understand that what you eat doesn’t just affect how you perform—it plays a critical role in how you recover, rebuild, and sustain results.
Why Nutrition Matters for Recovery
Your body undergoes stress when you train. Muscle fibers get damaged, inflammation rises, and your nervous system works overtime. Recovery is your body’s chance to repair and adapt—and nutrition is the fuel and tool that makes that process effective. Without adequate nourishment, good training can yield weak results.
Key Nutritional Principles for Optimal Recovery
- Protein for Repair: After intense sessions, your body needs high‑quality protein to rebuild muscle and connective tissue.
- Carbohydrates for Refuel: Carbs replenish glycogen stores, support immune function, and reduce the chance of burnout.
- Healthy Fats for Inflammation Control: Omega‑3s and other healthy fats help regulate the body’s inflammatory response and support joint health.
- Micronutrients for Function: Vitamins and minerals support recovery pathways—think magnesium for muscle relaxation or zinc for immune health.
- Hydration and Electrolytes: Water is the vehicle for every biochemical process. Without proper hydration, recovery stalls and performance drops.
Recovery Nutrition Strategies at Guerrilla
Our approach to nutrition isn’t about fad diets or “quick fixes.” Instead, we customize plans that align with your training volume, goals, and lifestyle. Some strategies include:
- Post‑workout nutrition windows to support repair
- Balanced meals with macro breakdowns for your activity level
- Habit‑based coaching so you build consistency—not just temporary change
- Education about food choices that support recovery and performance
Common Mistakes That Hinder Recovery
- Skipping post‑workout meals or delaying eating after training
- Relying heavily on ultra‑processed foods that increase inflammation
- Neglecting hydration or underestimate fluid needs
- Ignoring sleep and stress—nutrition works, but only if your lifestyle supports it
