Four virtual presentations tailored to each phase of a fire academy (fire vs EMS).

Results

Reduced hydration-related injury and rhabdomyolysis incidence.
Favorable body composition changes - including an average loss of 1.5% body fat, 6.1 pounds, and 1.5 inches off the waist.

Goals

Provide tools for flexible, realistic healthy eating throughout the academy.
Empower recruits to become proactive in their own health and wellness.
Encourage rational, evidence-based decisions when it comes to nutrition fads.

The information provided in the lectures was spot on! It was essential for the recruits to hear this information as they are going through the daily grind of the academy. Having Megan's lectures as a part of our programming improved post-academy performance testing results.
