Had my friend and fellow Dietitian - Katie Lounsberry - on the show to talk all things HYROX and fueling for performance. Topics discussed:

-What HYROX is and why it's become so popular

-Why carbs are important for high-intensity exercise/performance

-Fueling strategies leading up to competition, on race day and during recovery

-What "training low" means, potential benefits, drawbacks + who it might be appropriate for

-Snack/food ideas for traveling, competing or long training days

-Supplements worth considering for athletes

-Improving athletes' relationships with carbohydrates and sugar

-Why processed foods and simple sugars aren't inherently 'bad'

+ so much more in-between.

I loved this chat and I know you will too!!

Convinced my wife to hop back on the show for episode 200. Had a blast chopping it up with her again and catching you guys up on life as parents and business owners.

We talked about her experience with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, what motherhood has taught her, and what it’s looked like to run a business while raising our daughter. Lots of honest reflections on what we expected, what surprised us + what we’re still figuring out along the way.

Always special getting to share this side of our lives with you guys. Appreciate you being here for 200 episodes!
