Happy New Year and welcome to Episode 107 of the Eat for Endurance podcast!
We’re kicking off Season 7 with a bang, featuring two awesome guests: sports dietitian Kylee Van Horn, RDN and journalist and writer Zoë Rom. These two are not only best friends but also trail-running partners, running coaches, Aussie dog moms, and co-hosts of the podcast Your Diet Sucks.
With the New Year in full swing, you're probably seeing an avalanche of marketing nonsense plus a lot of confusing if not harmful advice. That’s why this episode is all about cutting through the nutrition noise.
Kylee, Zoë, and I discuss why athletes are particularly vulnerable to diet BS, and how to identify and reject nutrition misinformation (especially online). We also chat about how to become the best version of yourself without falling into the trap of constant data tracking and optimization.
Speaking of optimization, this is the McSweeney's article that I mention in the show - it's absolutely HILARIOUS and worth a read.
Other highlights from our conversation include:
Why Kylee and Zoë started Your Diet Sucks
Whether trendy supplements like ketones and sodium bicarb are worth the investment
Why sugar is crucial for endurance athletes
Why extremes in the world of nutrition are not the place to be
The importance of working on nutrition basics before chasing after all the "shiny objects"
Kylee's and Zoë's "nutrition hot takes"
What's new and exciting in Kylee's and Zoë's worlds
And so much more!
This episode is packed with loads of info, practical advice, and plenty of laughs. I hope you enjoy it!
