That’s exactly why I’m doing a 3-part podcast series all about GLP-1 medications, with athletes in mind . In this series, you’ll hear from three dietitians who regularly work with GLP-1 agonists and each bring a unique clinical and personal perspective to the conversation. Together, these episodes explore how GLP-1 medicat

What happens when your identity as an athlete evolves, but your passion for movement, innovation, and challenge stays the same? In episode 134 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast , I’m joined by Jennifer Maxwell , co-founder of PowerBar and creator of J AMBAR , for a conversation about running, entrepreneurship , fueling a large, active family, and finding new passions later in life.

Together, they run The Unconventional Collaborative , a virtual mastermind focused on supporting practitioners, coaches, and trainers looking to elevate their work (I'm a member myself).   In this episode, we dive into a topic that’s often ove

When it comes to nutrition for athletes, body image may not be the first thing that comes to mind. You might focus on things like carbs , hydration , and recovery , not the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs you have about your body. However, body image is extremely important for athletes. The way you view your physical self impacts mindset as well as key behaviors, such as how you fuel and train every day . As a longtime endurance athlete and sports dietitian, I’ve seen how

Emily is the co-founder of Wild Poppy Creative Consulting , where she helps small business owners and creatives increase their impact.
