This is a common complaint I hear as athletes build mileage. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but important to remember the more we are training, the less we are getting into the parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) state. There’s more bringing oxygen away from the GI system to working muscles, leaving the gut to be a relatively hypoxic place.

However, while this may be common, it doesn’t make it normal! Reach out if you are noticing GI function changing as a result of more training. This is especially important if you are experiencing suboptimal labs, micronutrient levels.

While there’s quite the body of evidence indicating that electrolyte supplementation during activity DOES NOT improve performance, I’ve just never been able to get on board with that as a sports RD that works with endurance athletes (especially have lived in humid Florida and now at altitude).

A few months back suffered heat exhaustion during a half marathon in Hawaii (her residence) and I hated that. We got her a .tech (this isn’t sponsored), to see what we could find and I’ve found it pretty valuable in helping her to gather data and apply it into her hydration strategy.

Of course Kelli is n=1, but with personalized during run hydration strategies I can’t help but to think if you avoid heat exhaustion (or stroke), maintain core temperature better, have less GI issues, etc that it doesn’t translate to better performance? Call me crazy. Research is cool but is so limited. I know there’s sports RDs that will fight me on this.

It’s worth mentioning we did alter Kelli’s hyper hydration strategy the day before, but I truly feel that her having several long runs now that have gone better the during run nutrition changed the most.

some of the conversations I have been having with my college bound athletes this week!

✅ the dining hall has performance plates that will be FINE, I promise. It won’t be the best tasting and you’ll probably get bored but it does the job and embrace this temporary time in your life

✅ not where you want to be at? fuel like you are. As a freshman in college I wanted to play a lot more minutes than I got, and always think back and wonder if I had a dietitian that pushed me to fuel like I was playing all 90 minutes if that would have changed things! Fuel into existence.

✅ it’s easy to get lost with social media and nutrition. aim to focus on the variables that will give ya the majority of your results

also, I dEFiNEtely didn’t have a lil Wayne poster in my dorm room in college 💀😅

I didn’t think we were prescribing OCs anymore to (attempt to) address FHA anymore, but last week I had THREE conversations with parents of a high-school and a collegiate athlete sharing why this is not a solution. It’s always hard to be a provider other than a physician going against medical advice, but I truly feel confident about this one, especially when we haven’t ruled out any other potential causes of secondary amenorrhea.

I have worked with an abundant amount of athletes that in their teens/ 20s were given OCs, and they are suffering consequences of REDs later in life that weren’t dealt with originally. Please share this post if you are in direct care of female athletes as a physician, physical therapist, dietitian, coach, or parent 💕

So many student athletes (high-school and collegiate) getting back into the grind next week! Here’s some ideas you could pack on the go we put together for you to keep the performance plates flowing.

Also, which the Trader Joe’s quesadilla you don’t have to buy that exact one but a bean and cheese dilla with a little side of salsa or individual pack of guac would be 💯. You could even cook peppers and/or spinach into!

Let me know, which of these options would you pack with you👇🏻. More to come with this back to routine theme in coming week.

That’s the tweet, thank you for so many things you did by winning including making the morning after vacation’s social post so easy😂.

In another interview, I also heard her say she uses ChatGPT to help her count carbs to 550 g/day on her bigger training days and I’ll let you know that math likely maths based off of calculations for training at her level (please note she didn’t say she had AI tell her what to eat, just to simply check her work).

There’s several other examples I know of athletes on the world stage focused on their energy availability and nutritional density, but ’s race paired with her interview was just so crystal clear! Thanks Emily 🥹❤️🥇

I literally cut my run short this morning because yesterday life was life-ing and I didn’t get in enough nutrition- this was probably extra just for one day, but we know even acute LEA increases inflammation (specifically ROS or reactive oxygen species) and coming back from injury/sickness I was like NO THANKS✌️.

The study I’m referencing in the last slide, “LEA increases immune cell formation of reactive oxygen species and impairs exercise performance in female endurance athletes”, they took 12 female athletes and divided them into either optimal energy availability (52+ 2 kcal/kg FFM) or LEA (22 + 2 kcal/ kg FFM) x 14 days followed by 3 days of refueling. Exercise performance was assessed by 20 minute TT to time of exhaustion at an intensity corresponding to 110% V02 max.

The LEA group was associated with 94% increase in PBMC NADH oxidase 2 protein content (peripheral blood mononuclear cells which tells us valuable information of what’s going on with immune function). Also, there was a 22% increase in systemic cortisol levels. If this isn’t what excites you, they also found performance decrements even after 3 days of proper refueling in the LEA group.

All of that to say 14 days of LEA in female endurance athletes had a pronounced impact on immune system as evidenced by ROS production, altered plasma inflammatory proteome, and induced mobilization of leukocytes.

It’s a vibey post because I’ve started seeing more success scrapping expectations and plans and just seeing what life has planned for me lately 🥰

mondays are the best days for sass, obviously

no, it’s 100000% true, both of these things did happen.

the little girl that heard my presentation and heard me talking about how important pre run snacks are asks what the heck is she supposed to eat if her doctor just told her she’s allergic to all these foods. from the sounds of it, this was an IgG test which is not a reliable indicator of food allergies/intolerances. they often create false-positives. also, these are NEW, unusual symptoms for her after starting a sport that increases her demands during a period of growth and development. with a few more questions, it was obvious her intake and meal patterns were inadequate likely most contributing to belly aches. WOOF🤬

secondly, my sweet college girly who has been battling getting back to sport with irregular menstrual symptoms and recovering from a femoral stress fx. with under fueling, another compromise that can occur (I’ve posted about this in the past), that the body stops making bile acids that helps to manage the cholesterol in our body in which can lead to elevated cholesterol. if anything, seed oils in the right balance can actual be beneficial for cholesterol in conjunction with sufficient omega-3 intake.

it just doesn’t sit right with me to tell athletes (or people in general) to cut out foods for inaccurate reasons. it’s ok to not know the answers, but refer to someone that may.

I’ve been a dietitian since 2016 and still dietary restrictions as an athlete scares me 😂. This may be excessive, but I wanted to share because I think it highlights how much I respect how much food does for our bodies. This therapeutic diet does remove a lot of nutritious foods that are a big part of my usual intake, so I just wanted to be extra cognizant to replace /substitute the best I could. I’m unsure if the therapeutic diet will be beneficial and create the desired outcome, so also being mindful of that!

I’ll share more as I learn more, but now keeping the post of all the precautions that are taken with a dietary change❤️.

**also, to be clear I don’t think supplements (multivitamin) is the same as food- food works synergistically is our bodies but is an extra precautionary step while I figure this thing out
