In today's episode of The Fuel Run Recover Podcast, I'm breaking down why runners need to be oh so extra careful about where they get their nutrition advice from. This isn't because people are trying to give bad information or share advice that might be harmful to others, but because we all have a deeply personal relationship with food that can cause some folks to feel a stronger emotional connection to their chosen way of eating. Not to mention that many folks in the diet realm have a lot of money invested in selling a certain book, product, or program. This passion for a certain way of eating can lead to a lot of defensiveness at times, and manipulating of things like science or evidence to support a specific belief system.

So, today we're talking about why what works for one person won't necessarily work for everyone, and how even within the running community we can sometimes support some pretty 'bad' behaviours or advice just because people doing very extreme things with their diet or training endeavors tend to get a lot of attention on social media.

And finally, I'm sharing some key things you can be looking out for when getting connected with a nutrition professional to help ensure you have a great experience and receive the personalized information and strategy you need to get the best possible results that you deserve.
