Today we are talking with Tony Castillo registered dietitian, dad, husband, Instagram extraordinaire. 

He has led a passionate life in the nutrition space and spent time as a sports nutritionist at the University of Florida and for the Toronto Blue Jays. 

I get the honor of chatting with him today as we ask What’s the Hype! We are covering hydrating powders, creatine, pre-work out supplements, green powders and probiotics. 

Tony joined us just three episodes ago on episode 83 to talk about sports nutrition for kids and teens. You’ll definitely want to check that out.  

I could not wait to have him back to for this fun episode as we dive into trending hyped up topics in the world of sports nutrition. 

We are asking WHAT’S THE HYPE!?! Reminder we are now on You Tube with our episodes if you prefer to watch. 

Just quick disclaimer, always check with your family doctor before making any changes in your health care.
