This week's episode is a Q&A with me, your host, Maddie Alm, registered dietitian and former professional runner. In honor of it being National Nutrition Month and RD day, I start the episode by talking about the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist, and my journey to becoming a dietitian.

I also answer questions submitted by listeners, and the questions I cover in this episode include:

1. Why should I fuel on runs over 70 minutes? Is there really a difference between types of gels and which option is best?
2. Do you have any ideas for lunches that are easy to pack?
3. What should new parents eat as a middle of the night snack when feeding a new bay every 3-4 hours?
4. Is over fueling a thing? Should I eat if I don't feel hungry?
5. I have been without my period for over a year and worry about my bone health, especially with going off to college next year. What should I do?
