Deciphering between different nutrition models, diets, etc can be overwhelming and we may not be sure where to begin. 

The goal of this episode was to get two different experts together and help break down some popular trends. We are joined by Erin Butler, MTN RDY Nutrition Therapist and Shannon O'Grady Ph.D. who is the Director of Product Development at Gnarly Nutrition and this will be her third time joining us. We are obviously a fan.

Boxing is a very difficult sport with high consequences. How do you train your brain to take a step back and approach such a difficult endeavor with ease? We sit down with New Zealand Olympic Boxer, Alexis Pritchard. Placing 5th in the RIO Olympics, Alexis took up this sport at age 19 and never looked back. 

Now retired from the sport, Alexis travels around New Zealand teaching workshops on setting positive intentions and putting yourself into a flow state before high-pressure situations.

Conversations that only occur in echo chambers don’t always spur growth. Divisiveness occurs when we think we need to go left or right. I am interested in having conversations on the MTN RDY podcast that propel us forward. How can we bridge this gap? How can we understand one another? This doesn’t mean we have to change our personal ethics or lifestyle. It means we can listen to understand one another. This is sometimes easier said than done.

We are back with the Director of the Utah Avalanche Center, Chad Brackelsberg. If you didn't listen to our first episode with Chad, we highly recommend you go back and listen to Episode Utah Avy Center Podcast #21 

This helps build a base of the avalanche safety and awareness protocol for athletes. We dive a little deeper in this episode reflecting back on the 2017 season, updated learning modules to keep us educated and field questions from the backcountry skiing (and running) communities.
