GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now, but the conversation around them often lacks nuance and is rarely discussed through the lens of active people. 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 if your low energy or stubborn performance plateau have little to do with your training and everything to do with your thyroid?  In episode 133 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast , I’m joined by Katie Morra, MS, RD, LDN, IFMCP to break down thyroid health for athletes. Katie is a Registered Dietitian and Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner who specializes in complex chronic illness. Through her practice, Gut Honest Truth , she focuses on the identi

As a working parent, it often feels like a daily scramble to get meals on the table while also making sure I’m fueling myself well during busy days. Between work, school pickups, activities, my own training, and everything else, there isn’t always time to cook completely  from scratch. That’s where having a few strategic meal prep shortcuts on hand can make a huge  difference. Meal planning also helps, if nothing else to eliminate the dreaded "what's for dinner" question. Me

Wondering what you can realistically do to stay healthy during training, travel, and sick season? That's what Laura Ligos (AKA, The Sassy Dietitian ) and I discuss in Episode 130  of The Eat for Endurance Podcast. This episode is not about immune “hacks” or doing more. Instead, we break down what actually supports immune health from a nutrition and lifestyle perspective, and explore where athletes often get tripped up when training, underfueling, poor sleep, and life stress

The holiday season can be joyful and meaningful, but let’s be honest, it also presents its fair share of challenges. Work and school schedules shift. Travel may enter the picture. Cookies and sweets appear in every direction. Emotions (both positive and negative) run high. And many people start wondering how to navigate holiday nutrition without feeling out of control. You might notice some of these normalized behaviors creeping in: “Saving up” calories before big meals Viewi

I don’t know about you, but the combo of Halloween and Daylight Savings Time really kicked my butt last week. Add in the fact that my youngest got sick with pneumonia that weekend (and stayed home from school all week), and I needed all  the help I could get!  I knew that if we didn't map out a meal plan, I'd be hit with the dreaded "what's for dinner" question every night and subsequent panic would follow. Even as a sports dietitian who helps athletes plan meals for a living

In Episode 125 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast,  I’m joined by running coach and podcaster Lindsey Hein . Lindsey is the founder of SandyBoy Productions , host of the popular I’ll Have Another Podcast , and co-host of The Relay Podcast . She's also a longtime distance runner, certified running coach, race announcer, and mom to four young boys. In this episode, we go behind the mic to talk about Lindsey’s personal journey through running, motherhood, and nutrition. From navig

Do you have an active family that is often on-the-go? Between work schedules, after school activities, and homework, getting a nutritious dinner on the table can be a challenge. You may not have the time (or energy) to whip up a fancy dinner, but you probably also don't want to always get takeout or rely on leftovers alone.  In this blog post, I’m sharing 5 easy dinner ideas for families  that are actually  doable on busy nights. These recipes are simple, quick to prep, and k

As a busy athlete, your day is likely jam-packed with work, training, and other responsibilities (parenting, running errands, etc). When it comes to lunch, maybe you're in the habit of eating the leftovers off of your kids’ lunch plates, grabbing a random snack plate between meetings, relying on whatever is leftover in the fridge (if anything), or worse… skipping it all together. As an athlete, skipping or skimping on lunch can seriously impact your energy, recovery, and perf
