Nutritional Revolution Podcast
Nutritional Revolution (NR) was created when owner Kyla Channell saw that there was a true disconnect between daily nutrition and nutrition for athletes. Specifically on when and how to use specific fueling methods to achieve optimal performance as well as health in their sport. NR believes that any one person no matter their age, weight, or current struggle can make healthy changes to improve their well being and get closer to their goals through education, motivation, support, encouragement, and the right guidance. In this podcast, we go beyond food & nutrition; we also explore the best practices for better living.

SPECIAL SERIES: Real Coaching Sessions with Sarah Sturm, Part 5
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What you're about to listen to is something a little different.
This is not a traditional episode — it's an edited recording of an actual one-on-one coaching check-in with my client, Sarah Sturm, a professional athlete who recently found out she was pregnant.
After getting the news, Sarah approached me with an idea: she wanted to document her experience navigating pregnancy as a competitive athlete in real time, and she wanted to share it. So over five sessions, we hit record.
With Sarah's full approval and participation, we've taken those check-ins and edited them down into a 5 part series of ~20-minute mini episodes so you can follow along with her journey as it actually unfolded — unscripted and unfiltered.
In this series, you'll hear us cover:
- Nutrition adjustments during early pregnancy for an active athlete
- Managing performance, energy, and body changes
- The mental and emotional side of pregnancy as a competitor
- Real-time problem solving between coach and client
Please note: some portions of the original recordings have been removed for time or privacy. What you're hearing is a curated but authentic look at what real coaching support looks like during one of the most significant transitions an athlete can go through.
Thank you to Sarah for her openness and trust in sharing this with our community. 🤍
