On this episode of Tri This, host Chris Stafford welcomes Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen, functional medicine practitioner, nutrition expert, and endurance athlete, for an honest and practical conversation about getting back to normal training after setbacks, life changes, injury, or a demanding season. Whether you’ve taken time off due to illness, work stress, burnout, or simply the off-season, Dr. Lauritzen breaks down what athletes really need to return to consistent triathlon training in a healthy, sustainable, and confidence-building way. You’ll learn how to rebuild your training foundation without overdoing it, how to tune into stress signals, and why fueling, recovery, and life balance matter more during a comeback than at any other time. Dr. Lauritzen shares science-backed strategies for restoring strength, endurance, and metabolic health, plus mindset tips to help you overcome guilt, comparison, and the pressure to return to peak performance too quickly. This episode is perfect for triathletes of all levels who want to feel empowered, motivated, and informed as they ease back into structured training. If you’re looking for guidance on ramping up safely, preventing injury, and rebuilding confidence, this conversation has everything you need to get moving again—with purpose.
