In this conversation, Emily Brooks talks about her journey to qualifying for the Boston Marathon, the impact of social media in the fitness space, and the importance of working with a dietitian.

She completed her undergraduate degree at Penn State and is currently pursuing a Master of Science as she works toward becoming a dietitian. As a future dietitian, she uses her own experiences to educate and inspire others to properly fuel both their bodies and minds in pursuit of a healthier, more balanced life. Emily opens up about the importance of stepping away from running in high school to prioritize her mental and physical health.

Throughout the conversation, she highlights her passion for dietetics and emphasizes the importance of blending science with enjoyment in her approach to both running and nutrition.

Although she made the difficult decision to defer running the Boston Marathon this past weekend to prioritize her long-term health, it does not diminish the accomplishment of qualifying or the excitement surrounding what lies ahead in her running journey.
