On April 27, 2024, I hosted the third event in a wellness series for entrepreneurs. This wellness series is designed to help busy entrepreneurs take a break to focus on their health and wellness while learning about a wellness focused topic. These are purpose designed to be less formal and highly accessible. Most events I host respectfully request that all attendees attend for the entire duration. In this Entrepreneur’s Wellness series, I did not want time commitment to be a hindrance to enjoying the parts that people could access. If someone wanted to come just to hear the speaker, that was fine. If they wanted to come just for the workout, that was fine. If they wanted to come for the entire time and linger afterwards to deepen connections, that was also amazing. My main ask : Show-up because when you make yourself accountable to improving your own health, good things happen. Health and wellness does not need to complicated. Move | Nourish | Learn | Connect on a regular basis and you’re most of the way there.
We started the event with all levels movement done in nature by the pool. Afterwards, we enjoyed some nourishing food from local healthy food provider, Dish Society. Then everyone gathered indoors to listen to our speaker.
Our speaker for this event was Nick Barringer. Nick most recently served as the Program Director for the Army-Baylor Master’s Program in Nutrition. He also served as an assistant professor at the United States Military Academy. Previously while working at the United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine he researched Warfighter nutritional requirements in differing environments to include deployed Special Operators. Prior to that, he taught performance nutrition at the Army-Baylor Graduate Program in Nutrition. Nick served in the 75th Ranger Regiment as a member of the Ranger Athlete Warrior (RAW) program where he oversaw the nutrition and aspects of the physical training of Rangers.
Nick received his undergraduate degree in dietetics from the University of Georgia, his master of science in exercise science from California University of Pennsylvania and his doctorate in kinesiology from Texas A&M.
Nick is passionate about improving nutrition and performance in tactical athletes and has the unique perspective of a researcher, teacher, and practitioner who has gone through physically demanding courses such as Ranger School, Survival Evasion Resistance Escape (SERE), Airborne, Air Assault as well as having deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan so he best understands both the academic and applied demands of the tactical athlete. Nick has presented at both national and international conferences on tactical athlete nutrition and performance and his research has appeared in multiple media outlets such as Science Daily and Men’s Journal.
Nick spoke on the topic : From the Battlefield to the Boardroom : Lessons learned from special operations that can help you perform your best in business and in life
Want to learn nutrition and health habits and tactics for high performance? On Saturday, April 27 Special Forces Operator and Program Director for the Army-Baylor Master’s Program in Nutrition Nick Barringer will teach us how to optimize nutrition to perform when the stakes are high. Nick draws from decades of experience in the military, first as an special forces operator in the 75th Ranger Regiment a.k.a. Army Rangers, and now designing and instructing nutrition programs at the highest levels of the military.
Nick will share :
