We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text with your feedback.

Natalie sits down with Kristy Bauman, RDN—aka @marathon.nutritionist—to bust the most common (and confusing!) fueling myths runners encounter every day.

Kristy breaks down why gut training matters, how dehydration (not gels) is often behind stomach problems, and what most runners get wrong about protein, electrolytes, and carb loading. Natalie and Kristy also dig into common misconceptions around fueling frequency, “sloshy stomach,” salt tablets, caffeine, and the idea that you can skip recovery nutrition if you’re not hungry after a run.
