In this episode, Susan Lopez, a registered dietitian, joins me in discussing the importance of nutrition for both hunters and tactical athletes and the common misconceptions surrounding nutrition. Susan highlights the negative effects of chronic under-eating and the importance of fueling the body properly for optimal performance and longevity. The conversation covers topics such as intermittent fasting, supplementation, and the role of digestion in metabolism. We also discuss various topics related to performance, including caffeine intake, pre-workout nutrition, hydration, and nutrition for backcountry hunts. Additionally, we explore the nutritional considerations for extended periods of physical activity, such as backcountry hunts, and the importance of fueling adequately before such events.
