In this week’s Q+A, we’re tackling your wide-ranging questions—from performance nutrition to endurance training quirks. Whether you're trying to elevate your recovery, improve your running, or level up your smoothie game, this episode delivers real answers with zero fluff.

We cover: ✔️ Plant-based smoothie boosters — beyond spirulina and chlorella: what other greens, roots, and functional plants can help you get more nutrient diversity in your day? ✔️ Why your legs feel heavy during slow runs — the science behind why Zone 2 training can feel harder than tempo running, and what to do about it ✔️ Creatine powder vs. gummy — does the form matter? We break down the absorption, quality, and what to watch out for before picking your supplement

This is the episode for anyone wanting smarter strategies in training, recovery, and everyday habits—without getting lost in the noise.
