Fueling Life's Challenges: Erica Sara Reese on Health, Resilience, and Self-Care


Runner and jewelry designer Erica Sara Reese of Erica Sara Designs

Welcome to Episode 93 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring runner and jewelry designer, Erica Sara Reese. Erica is the talent behind Erica Sara Designs, which is an official partner and jewelry of the NYC Marathon as well as other NYRR races.


Erica grew up dancing ballet, dabbled in crew while in college, and eventually discovered her love of running while going through some major life and career changes. She actually completed the same nutrition program at NYU that I did, but then decided to pursue her jewelry business instead. 


Erica has spoken openly about her recent struggles with burnout, breast cancer, and perimenopause. She continues this discussion and where she’s at now in today’s episode.


Here are some of the other things we explore:


  • How her nutrition and overall self-care routine has evolved, especially in recent years

  • What survival looks like - not in the context of cancer, but relating to the juggling act of everyday life (parenthood, running our own business, preparing food for the family, taking care of yourself, relationships, etc.)

  • The individual nature of nutrition decisions, and how the most important thing is what feels good to you in your unique body


While I asked many of the same questions that I usually include in my Athlete Nutrition Profiles, just a heads up that this was a far more conversational episode than some of my other interviews. I hope you enjoy our discussion!
