OHANA YOUTH- “Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind.”

 Practical support for real athletes and real families 

A successful youth nutrition plan must work beyond the consultation room. It must fit early mornings, school lunches, long practices, game-day travel, family schedules, food preferences, and the household budget.

Our youth nutrition coaching may include:

• Comprehensive nutrition and lifestyle assessment
• Personalized meal and snack guidance
• School-day fueling strategies
• Pre-practice and post-practice nutrition
• Game-day and competition fueling
• Hydration and electrolyte education
• Healthy weight-gain support
• Lean-mass development strategies
• Supplement review and education
• Sleep and routine coaching
• Weekly accountability
• Parent education and grocery guidance
• Progress monitoring and plan adjustments
• Coordination with coaches or trainers when appropriate

Parents remain an important part of the process. We help families understand what the athlete needs, how to stock the kitchen, and how to support progress without creating unnecessary pressure around food or weight.

 Training creates the demand. Recovery helps the body adapt.  

More training isn’t always the answer.

Young athletes need consistent sleep, hydration, balanced nutrition, mobility, rest, and recovery habits. Without those foundations, they may struggle with persistent fatigue, declining performance, poor concentration, soreness, and inconsistent motivation.

Ohana Youth Recovery focuses on:

• Post-training nutrition
• Hydration and electrolyte replacement
• Sleep habits and evening routines
• Rest-day fueling
• Mobility and flexibility education
• Warm-up and cool-down habits
• Recovery tracking
• Schedule and workload awareness
• Stress-management education
• Communication between the athlete, parent, and performance team

When movement and recovery services are included, our nutrition and recovery professionals work together to support the whole athlete.

The goal isn’t to push young athletes harder. The goal is to help them train, recover, grow, and perform responsibly.

 Ohana doesn’t support crash diets, prolonged fasting, severe food restriction, intentional dehydration, or extreme weight-cutting practices for youth athletes.

For young combat-sport athletes, wrestlers, and other weight-class competitors, we focus on:

• Appropriate weight-class selection
• Gradual and responsible body-composition development
• Consistent nutrition throughout the season
• Hydration education
• Competition-week fueling
• Post-competition recovery
• Parent and coach communication

The health and development of the athlete come before a number on the scale.
