Green Bay - Seeking the magic formula to improved health, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy has hired a nutrition expert to make sure the things his players are eating aren't affecting their performance.

The team announced Sunday afternoon that Adam Korzun has been named the director of performance nutrition.

Having also worked with the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association as well as the U.S. Olympic Committee, Korzun joins the Packers after serving as the director of sports nutrition at the University of Oregon. He started with the USOC in '07, moved to the snowboarding association in '09 and joined the Ducks in '12.

The Packers said Korzun has also been a consultant for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Cleveland Indians as well as the Boston Medical Center and several commercial firms.

McCarthy said on Friday that he was bringing in a young man who would "impact our team. We're continuing to try to get better."
