🎙️ Just dropped! I had the privilege of joining fellow sports RD, Margaret Downs, on the My Sports Dietitian Eat 2 Win Podcast to share a small glimpse into my personalized approach to fueling endurance athletes. 🥇

I don’t always go back and re-listen to my own episodes… but I did with this one — and it reignited my passion for integrative, personalized sports nutrition.

Even more exciting is that my practice has continued to evolve since recording this, which makes the conversation even more relevant today.

From everyday fueling and hydration to biomarkers and long-term athlete health — this episode is for every runner, triathlete, coach, and parent who cares about performance and longevity.

Hi! I’m honored you are here. Like you, I’m a complex puzzle—and I absolutely love putting the pieces together to support endurance athlete health + performance.

Endurance nutrition advice often stops at macros.
Ours doesn’t.

Endurance performance is built on metabolism, gut health, hydration strategy, stress tolerance, recovery capacity, real-life structure, and nourishing the body — not just calories and carb timing.

If you want to train hard, race strong, and protect your long-term health in the process, we align.

If you’re looking for answers to unexplained fatigue or unresolved gut issues, we align.

If you want a personalized plan to nourish and fuel your next big race, we align.

Here, we prioritize quality > quantity, so there are limited spots available.

Another timely article I had the opportunity to contribute to with Matthew Mace and .uk.

Too often, we view fueling questions through an either/or lens: should you take electrolytes before or after a workout? What about during?

As a sports dietitian specializing in personalized fluid and electrolyte replacement, I combine data (like sweat rate and sodium concentration), athlete experience, practitioner experience, and intuition to help athletes dial in hydration strategies that actually work in the real world.

A recent review offered new insights on this topic, but there’s still more to uncover. At the end of the day, athlete needs are dynamic — not static.

So...should you take electrolytes before or after a workout? Read more to find out!

Labor Day marks the unofficial finish line of summer. ☀️🏁

For endurance athletes, it’s also a checkpoint:

1️⃣ Training Load – Have you built the right foundation heading into fall races?

2️⃣ Fueling – Are your nutrition strategies supporting longer sessions as mileage and intensity increase?

3️⃣ Recovery – Rest days and sleep are just as important as miles logged.

If you’ve got a fall marathon, triathlon, or cross-country season on deck, now is the time to tighten up the details.

Fueling beyond the finish line™ isn’t just about race day—it’s about building the habits now that carry you into a strong season while supporting your health. 💪

Before I say more—NO, electrolytes do not directly give you energy.

Calories from protein, carbs, and fat do that. (And yes—alcohol too, though not the kind of “energy” you want for performance).

But here’s where it gets interesting ⬇️

Electrolytes do play a critical role in unlocking and delivering that energy. They regulate hydration, muscle contraction, and blood flow—helping your body actually use the energy from food.

That means if your electrolyte balance is off, your performance (and recovery) will be too.

I teamed up with fellow sports dietitians and with in this article to break down the facts vs. the hype.

Electrolytes aren’t just in sports drinks—they’re also found in foods. But for endurance athletes, electrolyte products are often an essential part of a smart fueling + hydration plan.

I’ve been reading ’s Outlive on and off, and some (or many) statements just make me say—YES!

While Dr. Attia isn’t a proclaimed functional or integrative practitioner, I love his emphasis on longevity, distinction between lifespan and healthspan, and nuance. CONTEXT IS KING.

Regarding longevity…the goal isn’t to live forever. The goal is to live longer with better quality of life.

YES — integrative thinking! 🚀

🥚 Protein spotlight: Egg whites

I recently shared my take in Health on Egg White Protein Powder—a simple product with just two ingredients: egg whites + sunflower lecithin.

No additives, fillers, or sweeteners. 🙌

Why I like it:
✅ Complete protein that’s low in carbs + calories (though I don’t actively promote ‘low carb/low calorie’ or ‘weight management’ messaging)
✅ Dairy- and gluten-free (great for allergies + intolerances)
✅ A clean option for those avoiding traditional powders with fillers

💡 What is sunflower lecithin? It’s a “blender” in food products, and it provides phospholipids + essential fatty acids that support:

🧠 Brain health
🫀 Heart health
🙂 Gut barrier + digestion
📈 Nutrient absorption

⚠️ One note: this product isn’t , so drug-tested athletes should always double-check supplement safety. (It’s labeled as a food with a Nutrition Facts label, but protein powders should be considered supplements for competitive athletes.)

👉 Do I recommend whole eggs???

YES—absolutely! Egg white protein can be a helpful boost when you need extra protein without extras.

I recently “hit a wall” with regular posting—but behind the scenes, life and business have been full speed ahead.

Here’s a media highlight in another .uk article on fueling for ultra-cycling alongside colleague, , and Matthew Mace.

🚴🏼‍♂️ Ultra-cycling isn’t just about training—it’s about fueling.

You can’t out-train under-fueling. Proper nutrition powers energy, supports mental resilience, and reduces inflammation so you recover faster.

Here are my 3 fueling keys for multi-day ultra-cycling:

1️⃣ Carbs + more → 60–90 g carbs/hr + protein + fat from whole foods + sports nutrition.

2️⃣ Mix it up → Variety of textures + flavors helps beat appetite loss + flavor fatigue + boosts nutrition quality.

3️⃣ Personalize it → Every athlete’s physiology is unique. Work with a sports dietitian to fine-tune your fueling.

It’s certainly a good idea to have a fueling and hydration plan for long-distance races—but also build in flexibility.

Fluid and energy needs are dynamic, and race does not always go as planned. 🥴

On the big day, factors such as your pace, weather, and how you feel will influence your actual needs.

💡 PRO TIP: Start by following your plan, but adjust your intake according to how you feel as the race progresses.

👉🏻 Save or share this post as a reminder for training and race day.
