269: What’s the Latest and Greatest in Nutrition for Athletes
Serena Marie, RD is back! If you’re not familiar with Serena, she was the go-to dietician for The Running Lifestyle Show (now called The Flourishing Experiment). Serena and I ran multiple marathons together, took on some big goals, fell down a lot, had some big challenges in our lives, and much more while we podcasted together from 2014 to 2019.
Today is Serena’s first time back since The Running Lifestyle Show crossed the finish line in Episode 250. It felt so good to be back “on air” together and talking about nutrition, mindset and goals.
During our wide-ranging conversation, we discuss:
Nutrition trends since 2014 including keto, low-carb, If It Fits Your Macros, ROAR, the Game Changers diet and more
Common errors runners, Peloton enthusiasts, and athletes make when it comes to nutrition
Serena’s recommendation for carb to protein ratio
The right Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio and where to get it from
Gluten-free diets for people with Hashimoto’s and thyroid conditions
Does craft beer count as a carb?
What Snacking for Hungry Runners: Stop Sugar Cravings + RUNger During Training is all about
Serena’s upcoming races
Mine and Serena’s themes for 2020
I also discuss my struggles with nighttime eating in front of the TV and how I’m taking action to stop that unwanted habit.
