About this episode
This week, we're calling out the biggest myths in women's fitness and performance nutrition with Dr. Briana Botsford, a naturopathic doctor and Ironman triathlete who’s making evidence-based performance advice approachable. We get into: -Why fatigue, hormone issues, and injuries could actually be a fueling problem -The real deal on fasted workouts, high-sodium electrolyte drinks, and greens powders -How under-eating even accidentally, can mess with your thyroid, period, and iron levels -Why carbs are not the enemy (and can literally help you get your period back) -Whether you should train around your cycle… or not -Creatine, caffeine, BCAAs: what’s worth it and what’s just hype Spoiler: You don’t need to quit HIIT, ditch your boyfriend’s creatine, or live off ‘vibes and coffee’ to feel strong, balanced, and well-fueled.
