NEW Gymnastics Nutrition Book

Betsy McNally Laouar just published her 4th book.

You Can’t Flip on Empty: Fueling the Fifth Event of Gymnastics.

Through powerful stories from nearly 300 clubs, backed by current sports science and her own lived experience as an athlete, mother of two special needs children, and coach, Betsy reveals why athletes stall, parents struggle, and coaches feel stuck when fueling is left out of the training plan.

  • Why under-fueling is the silent performance killer (RED-S and beyond).
  • How small cultural shifts in gyms transform athlete confidence and endurance.
  • Practical fueling strategies for busy households that actually work.
  • A fresh, compassionate approach to food that prioritizes both performance and joy.

… Betsy McNally Laouar is a NSCA-certified personal trainer, certified sports nutritionist, professional bodybuilder, author, podcaster, and former gymnast.
