Valley to Peak Nutrition Podcast

How to tell if you’re UNDERfueling- RED-S, what we ’should’ weigh, and consequences of not fueling properly (Ep. 40, listener Q&A).

"I heard about something called 'RED-S'- can you outline what that is and talk more about how to know if you have it?"
 
RED-S is an acronym used to describe a complicated issue that arrises when we have ALOT of training and not enough fuel.
 
We answer that and look at how to know what we 'should' weigh if we really can't trust the coveted BMI charts at healthcare office.

Episode 34: How ’low carb’ foods could be hurting your progress (net carb intake, sugar alcohols, labeling, and you).

Where some is good, more has to be better- right?  Maybe if it's pizza and time outside, but not when it comes to fiber and 'low carb' products.  In fact, the more you eat could sabotage your progress (performance, weight, and stomach issues).  
 
Lindsay and I tackle why in the episode the sweek.
I also referenced an article I wrote on the topic that you can find linked here if you'd like to dive in deeper.

Episode 33: Managing Backcountry Blood Sugars with The Wild Diabetic (w/ Paul Kemper)

You may have never thought about how to manage the situation if you get low blood sugars in the backcountry, but you probably should.  For example:
What if you train with someone who is?  Do you know how to treat them if you’re far away from help and they need it?
What if you yourself have problems with low blood sugars during an event- do you know how to take care of yourself if you’re far away from help
What if you run into someone else who needs help?
Paul and I talk through all of these things plus a resources he’s built called Wild Diabetic. 
It’s a great conversation and I think you’ll find several great take-a-ways that will serve as an asset in your personal skills as someone who enjoys time outdoors whether your a diabetic or not.
