How often do you feel bloated and uncomfortable after eating? Have you been told to just "eat more fiber,” but you still don't feel any better. 

Kate Cline is a registered dietitian and functional nutritionist who specializes in helping athletes with inflammatory and GI related issues. Kate is also the host of the Gut Check podcast.

Kate Cline had always been an active person, but after a series of injuries, she was starting to feel demotivated. She had a back injury that led to four years of pain, a meniscus tear, a dislocated shoulder, and arthritis. She was finally able to start running again. But then she severely sprained her ankle. Kate was starting to feel like she would never catch a break. Her boyfriend told her that she didn't know how to quit, and she realized that he was right. She had always been a fighter, and she wasn't going to let her injuries stop her. Kate was determined to recover.

She and host Sean Corvelle talk about:

1. The magic of food and nutrition

2. The importance of gut health

3. The power of the mind in healing the body

When Mark Macy is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he and his son Travis decide to take on the challenge of Eco Challenge Fiji together, proving that anything is possible with family by your side.

We discuss Mark’s Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2018, how he felt leading up to it, and how he feels now. Travis reads some of his father’s inspiring and optimistic journal entries. Mace may have some new limitations, but that doesn’t stop him from living life to the fullest. Travis goes into detail on his own response to his father’s diagnosis and how he deals with the anxiety and panic attacks. 

Travis and Mark chat about their love for outdoor activities and their OCR history, including Mace being the first person with Alzheimer's to participate in the Eco-Challenge Race. 

Travis speaks about his book, “A Mile at a Time,” which brings light to taking a moment to stop, breathe, and be present while you tackle one thing at a time. He also has a podcast, “The Travis Macy Show.”

Kevin Betts, Director at Run Things. Kev lost his dad to suicide in 2003 after years of battling depression, and sadly it wasn’t a shock. This changed Kevin and the course of his life.

Kevin took up running as a way to cope, changing both his mental and physical health. He went from never running, to running 52 marathons in a year. We talk about how exercise can help those suffering with mental health. Preventing suicide is about educating people from a young age that there are not only other options, but other opportunities… Things can and do get better. Not being here anymore stops you from ever seeing that future.

Run Things focuses on the relationship between mental and physical health to positively impact people’s lives. Among other things, Run Things has a virtual running club that is inclusive, welcoming and open to all. They currently have over 700 members worldwide.
