{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Perform from the Inside Out","slug":"performfromtheinsideout","podcastDescription":"

Welcome to Perform from the Inside Out, the podcast where functional nutrition, movement science, and nervous system regulation come together to help active individuals and high performers build the metabolic and nervous system capacity their bodies need to sustain performance long term without burning out.

Hosted by Meli Kirkwood, CNS, LDN, CPT, a clinical nutritionist and movement educator, and a Doctor of Science candidate in Integrative Health, each episode translates cutting-edge science into practical tools you can use today for fueling, recovery, hormones, stress, and the gut-brain connection that ties it all together.

The missing piece? It's almost always the nervous system.

Foundation. Capacity. Performance. In that order.

Science-backed. Clinically grounded. Always from the heart.
