In another episode of our series on how real athletes eat in the real world, Josh Everett talks to the camera about his food choices over a 24 hour period. Josh’s food intake includes oatmeal with fruit, a turkey sandwich, apples, a paleo kit, macadamia nuts, avocado, grilled meat and veggies.

But Josh also consumes lots of supplements: protein powder, liver powder, fish oil, digestin, creatine monohydrate, beta alamine, cod liver oil, vitamins C and D, seriphos, calcium and magnesium, zinc, and multivitamins. Josh says he consulted with a naturopathic doctor who diagnosed adrenal fatigue and recommended the supplements. Josh says he doesn’t recommend this approach for everyone. He’s simply found something that works for him and fits his lifestyle.

Josh has been the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at the University of California Riverside since 2001. Prior to that he served as an Assistant Strength Coach at UCLA & Ohio University. Josh is a competitive weightlifter who has trained under the tutelage of CrossFit Coach Mike Burgener since 1999.

In addition to his Collegiate coaching and competitive weightlifting Josh is also deeply involved in the CrossFit community. He serves frequently as an instructor at CrossFit Level 1 certs and as a CrossFit athlete has twice finished in the top 3 at the CrossFit Games.
