Sports nutrition & performance fueling isn't just for elite athletes; anyone with any goal of feeling good and improving performance (WHATEVER those goals are for you!) should be understanding their body's fueling & nutrition needs. Sports Dietitian Natalie Robertello, MS, RD, CSSD, CDN (@befueledsportsnutrition) joins the show to discuss the mindset and belief systems we have around fueling & nutrition as recreational athletes including...


  • What is "diet culture" and how does it influence our approach to performance fueling?
  • "Discipline" versus balance
  • Recognizing common obstacles to appropriate fueling
  • "Dieting" culture
  • Fear of carbs/fear of "too much"
  • When liquid calories have a place (sometimes a mandatory one!)
  • What happens when you feel like you can't carb load, i.e. eat the recommended carbohydrates per day?
  • Tips for planning your pre-race carb-load 
  • Generational and gender differences in common obstacles to performance nutrition
  • The stories we tell ourselves about how the way we eat defines who we are
  • How to dis-entangle our beliefs around running more & eating less when we originally started running as a way to lose weight
  • Weird "internet" diet trends
  • The way certain sports nutrition products are marketed using "diet culture" talking points
    • Natalie Robertello, MS, RD, CSSD, CDN, is a Sports Dietitian & owner of BeFueled Sports Nutrition, as well as an endurance athlete.
