Brynna Bergman, Cenegenics Performance Health Coach This week we are joined by Brynna Bergman, Cenegenics performance health coach and former multi-sport athlete. She brings over 20 years of experience to the pod, and has great insights into what is needed to live a long, healthy life. Brynna discussed a myriad of topics in regards to longevity and feeling good, including the importance of low glycemic foods, the impact of nutrition on performance and health, and the challenges faced by young athletes.

I worked in the post-rehab strength and conditioning setting for a local healthcare system (Dallas, TX) for the majority of my career, and also coached competitive swimming for a local school district and club team (San Antonio, TX) with swimmers elementary through high-school.
