Sylvie Tetrault - Holistic Nutritionist & Strength Coach

You Run Like A Girl

Today's episode has been a long time coming. I chat with Sylvie Tetrault, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Strength Coach, and Podcast Host based in Toronto. Hailing from the East Coast, Sylvie moved to Toronto after earning a degree in kinesiology and promptly rose up the ranks of a busy city gym. However, she couldn't quiet a long-standing desire to work with pro athletes. So she took a leap and ended up at a high performance gym owned by former Toronto Maple Leafs player, Gary Roberts. A little while after securing a spot there as a Strength and Conditioning Coach to top NHL players, Sylvie took another leap of faith and followed her passion for nutrition back to school, eventually becoming a holistic nutritionist. We chatted about the fears that come with moving to a big city, how Sylvie handles setbacks (she was sidelined with a severe back injury a few years ago), and some of the myths about strength training and nutrition for females. Sylvie also shares a bit of insights into the podcast she hosts with her partner, Adrian, called Championship Lifestyle. Down to earth and hugely inspirational, Sylvie's commitment to continuing education and pushing herself are proof that with hard work, it's totally possible to make your dreams a reality.
