      If you haven't already, I would recommend listening to Part One for a general overview of how to eat right while training for a long distance running event, such as a marathon.

    • #13: Nutrition for Marathon Training (Part One - The Basics)

      It's the start of a new year, and if you're planning to run a marathon this year it's probably already at the forefront of your mind. Completing a marathon is no easy feat, and if you're going for it this year, you are amazing! However, fuelling right is such a fundamental part of performance. I'm here to break down what you need to know to make sure you're getting the right nutrition to get the most out of your training.

      This is part one of two, where we focus on the basics - macros, micros, supplements and hydration. In part two, I'll talk more specifically around pre- , during and post-run fuelling strategies for long runs.

      Hope you enjoy this episode and find it useful in your training journey. Good luck and happy running!

    • #11: The Weight of Diet Culture | Why Diet's Don't Work

      Diet culture has become so entrenched in our society and daily lives that we often don't even notice it. For many, to spend the six months between Christmas and summer on a diet or working to achieve a "bikini body" is just a regular part of our year. But despite our obsession with dieting and weight loss, obesity rates continue to climb, alongside rates of depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and eating disorders. 

      In this episode I discuss:

      • What is diet culture
      • How diet culture impacts us as individuals, and as a population
      • The harm caused by diet culture
      • Why diets don't work
      • How to focus on health, not weight

      • #10: How to Eat Well and Live Healthily for PCOS - with Fertility Dietitian @AlexTalksDiet

        Without a doubt, the most common question that pings up in my DMs is about what diet someone should be on if they are struggling with PCOS. This population group often really struggles with weight, or difficulty losing weight. Thanks to our weight-obsessed culture, this has a huge impact on body image and self-esteem. Women are also concerned about the impact PCOS can have on the rest of their health, including fertility. The internet is a wealth of information but unfortunately is also rampant with fad diets and misinformation - so it's extremely overwhelming trying to decipher fact from fiction.  

        Today I speak with fertility dietitian, Alex Ballard (@AlexTalksDiet) who gives us a look into what is PCOS, how it can impact individuals, and most importantly for all those who have been waiting on this episode - what actionable steps someone with PCOS can implement into their diet and lifestyle to treat their PCOS, minimize symptoms and maximise their health. 

        This episode was recorded virtually, so there were some lags during our discussion (we all know the deal by now!) - I've tried to minimise any weird cuts, but please excuse any that remain!
