WE’RE BACK!!! 🎙️ Michael Raynor, MS, RD, LDN and Erika Rathke, our dietetic intern, sit down to discuss the large body of research on creatine, beta-alanine, beetroot juice, and sodium bicarb for sports performance. They break down what types of athletes could benefit from these supplements, their mechanism of action in the body, and the pros and cons of supplementing. Before you listen, remember, no supplement can make up for UNDERFUELING. Make sure you are eating a diet containing adequate calories and carbs for your activity level to gain maximal performance benefits from any supplements you want to add in to the mix.

Kiwis 🥝 are a nutrient powerhouse rich in sleep promoting melatonin, soluble and insoluble fiber 💩, vitamin C, and antioxidants.

If you’re a science lover, check out the full research papers (shown on a later slide).

The takeaways: kiwis could improve sleep and recovery in athletes, and improve regularity in folks struggling with FC or IBS-C with no adverse side effects reported in the study.

A staple in the Raynor household, this Sausage and Potato Hash Recipe has it all: carbs 🥔 protein, color 🫑 and fats 🥑

It works great for meal prep for a cozy breakfast or lunch after training or as dinner for the family! You can easily sub silken tofu scramble or eggs for a vegetarian or vegan protein option. If you’re fueling many people with different needs - don’t mix the russet potato in with everything else! Let everyone customize with the portion they need. For very active folks (1 hour or more of activity per day), consider serving with a side of juice or fruit for additional carbs.
