    Ask Me Anything: Fat Intake, Soy Protein, Bone Healing & Post-Workout Headaches
    Feb 10 2026

    In this mailbag episode, I answer your real nutrition questions about fueling an active, plant-based lifestyle. We cover how much fat is too little (or too much) for athletes, nutrition tips for perimenopausal women with Hashimoto’s, how to support bone healing after a fracture on a vegetarian diet, and whether relying on soy protein is healthy. Plus, I break down why you might be getting headaches and feeling awful after long endurance workouts—and exactly how to fix it with smarter fueling and electrolytes. If you’re a runner or cyclist trying to feel stronger, recover faster, and stop underfueling, this episode is for you.

    Plant-based diets are experiencing a surge in popularity, particularly among runners and other athletes. But is your plant-based diet lacking in any nutrients, and do you need supplements to fill the gaps?

  • How to Tell If You’re Underfueling Your Runs (Even If You Eat Healthy)

    How to Tell If You’re Underfueling Your Runs (Even If You Eat Healthy)
    Jan 20 2026

    If your runs feel harder than they should, it's probably not your training. You're not fueling enough.

    In this episode, I break down how runners unintentionally underfuel their workouts, the subtle signs to watch for, and why eating “healthy” isn’t always enough to support performance. I’ll also share how my own first marathon taught me this lesson the hard way and how you can tell if underfueling might be affecting your runs.
