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.

In this solo episode, Natalie takes you behind the scenes of her Philly Half Marathon—her 20th half and one of her most meaningful yet. She opens up about setting a bold goal of breaking two hours, the six months of training that led her there, and how becoming a mom reshaped her relationship with running.

Natalie shares exactly how she built speed in her 40s, the fueling mistakes she finally corrected, the hill she did not see coming, and why proper hydration and electrolytes completely changed her post-run recovery.

Plus, Natalie reveals what she’s already signed up for next (hello, Brooklyn Half!) and the tweaks she’s making to finally nail that sub-2.

Tune in, lace up, and let’s chase big goals together.

In this energizing episode, Natalie talks with the always-vibrant Dawn Jackson Blatner, RDN—dietitian, author, and self-proclaimed joy scientist—about why joy is a skill you can practice, not a personality trait. Dawn shares how hitting her own rock bottom led her to study the science of joy and create a simple daily “Joy GPS” that’s helped her and her clients feel more energized and motivated.

They dive into how joy directly supports fueling and fitness—from making nutrition more fun to finding motivation for tough workouts to letting go of the “shoulds” that drain excitement. Whether you’re a runner or just want to feel better day to day, Dawn’s playful, practical strategies will help you reframe habits, boost consistency, and bring the fun back.
