Can a Daily Greens Powder Support Your Rehab and Performance?

Adam Russell Director & Principal Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist

As a Sports Exercise Physiotherapist, I’m always looking for simple, sustainable ways my patients can support their recovery, performance, and overall health outside the clinic.

While targeted exercise is the foundation, nutrition plays a powerful supporting role - especially when life gets busy.

That’s where a high-quality greens supplement, like Switch Nutrition Greens, can be a

helpful addition for many people.

Why Nutrition Matters in Recovery

When your body is recovering from injury - or adapting to training - it needs the right

building blocks. Micronutrients like vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients

support:

• Energy production

• Tissue repair

• Immune function

• Gut health

• Inflammation regulation

In an ideal world, we’d all get everything we need from a wide variety of whole foods every

day. In the real world? Time, appetite, stress, and convenience often get in the way.

What Are “Greens” Supplements?

Greens powders are concentrated blends of vegetables, fruits, grasses, algae, and plant

extracts. Switch Nutrition Greens combines ingredients such as leafy greens, spirulina,

chlorella, digestive enzymes, and antioxidants into one easy daily serve.

Think of it as nutritional insurance—not a replacement for whole foods, but a way to help

cover some gaps.

How Switch Nutrition Greens May Help My Patients

1. Supporting Energy and Consistency

Many patients report feeling flatter or more fatigued during rehab. While no supplement

replaces sleep and good food, a greens powder can help support baseline nutrient

intake - especially on busy days when meals aren’t ideal.

2. Gut Health = Better Recovery

Gut health plays a role in nutrient absorption, inflammation, and immune function.

Ingredients like prebiotics and digestive enzymes may help support digestion, which can

indirectly support recovery and training tolerance.

3. Convenience That Actually Sticks

One of the biggest barriers to good nutrition is consistency. A scoop of greens in water or a

smoothie takes under a minute - making it easier to maintain supportive habits alongside

your exercise program.

4. Supporting an Active Lifestyle

For active individuals, athletes, or anyone increasing their training load, greens supplements

can be a practical way to support overall health during periods of higher physical stress.

Greens powders:

✅ Support good nutrition habits

❌ Do not replace vegetables, protein, or a balanced diet

❌ Do not “fix” injuries on their own

Your rehab success still comes down to doing your exercises, managing load, sleeping well,

and fueling your body appropriately.

My Take as a Physio

I recommend products like Switch Nutrition Greens when they:

• Fit easily into someone’s routine

• Complement (not replace) whole food nutrition

• Help patients stay consistent with healthy habits

  
  

If adding a daily greens helps you feel better, eat better overall, and support your

recovery - then it can be a worthwhile addition.

If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, feel free to ask during your next session. Nutrition

doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be practical and sustainable.
