Unapologetically Fueled: Recent Episodes
Sabrina
A podcast that encourages runners, athletes, and all to embrace food freedom, debunk nutrition myths, learn to thrive in life in and out of their sport, recover from disordered eating, and learn about the psychology behind it all. By digging deep into evidence-based research, we look at nutrition and psychology that enhances physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, especially for athletes. Through interviews with special guests, we hear stories of overcoming disordered eating, finding food freedom, and being confident in their identity.
Today, I have a very special guest, Liz Newcomer on the show! You may know her from the Resiliency in Running podcast and instagram platform, and now YouTube channel! Liz and I have a great conversation about her journey with running, training, social media, and resilience in her recovery from an eating disorder as a runner. Through her journey, Liz shares a story of strength and inspiration. We talk about concerns in the running space related to nutrition, how to navigate training and recovery from disordered eating, why the running space is fixated on body image and eating patterns, and how to thrive as a runner in a culture that demonizes how we SHOULD be fueling. This is a great conversation and you will not want to miss it. Be sure to connect with Liz on her social media pages, and listen to her podcast!

Hello friends!
Today is the highly requested Boston Marathon recap episode - from the process of qualifying, to race weekend, to the race itself! Then, I answer the questions you submitted through Instagram.

Today, I chat live at the Boston Marathon weekend with Holley Samuel, RD, MEd, CSSD, CPT! Holley and I combine our passions to have a great discussion about mindset and fueling during the marathon! We discuss the super cool science about how your nutrition during your runs impacts way more than just your stamina - it impacts your headspace, mindset, and mood too! If you have ever been in a race where your outlook is pessimistic, you start doubting yourself, or you feel upset, listen in to how simple changes in nutrition may actually help turn that mindset around! After our discussion, we then answered some of your questions that you asked through Instagram, such as "What's the deal with pop tarts?" and "Is my energy low due to underfueling or overtraining?" and so many more! This is a great episode you won't want to miss, and it was a pleasure to have Holley on the show again!

From rat studies to human research, we discuss some of the functions and outcomes of exercise addiction, how it relates to underfueling, and how to recover from this cycle.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode! Today's episode was highly requested and talks about all things Boston Marathon cutoff times related. We first talk through the history of the qualification times, the history of cutoff times, and what could have led to the stringent cutoff time this year. I then give you my opinion on the matter, and discuss ways to cope if you qualified and didn't make the cutoff. I emphasize how your worth and success as a runner are INDEPENDENT of the cutoff times (non-controllable), and how to move forward if you feel hopeless or stuck. Finally, I answer some of your questions and elaborate on some of your opinions. I hope this episode gives you some insight into the Boston marathon process and helps you feel less alone if you are navigating a sense of loss if you missed the cutoff time.

Hello and welcome back to another episode! In honor of NEDA week last week, I recorded an episode on a topic many of you requested, answering the question, "why do so many runners have a history of an eating disorder?" I dive into research on personality traits and risk factors that predispose one to develop an eating disorder, including perfectionism. I also look at personality links between endurance athletes and those with disordered eating (hint: there's a lot!). As always, I am not a doctor yet. If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, please reach out to a professional for help. You are worth it!
On another note, I hope you enjoy my new podcast image and introduction! The image was created by the lovely Hannah Marie (lifewithhannahj on instagram). She is super talented - go give her a follow and love!

Today I have a very special guest, Julia Flynn! Julia and I grew up together, and I have gotten to witness her love for running grow and flourish as she grew older. From a young age, I can remember Julia running while my little "sister" (listen for details!) would bike along side of her. Ever since she was little, she has had a passion and low for the sport. This passion and love took her far - she excelled in running during school, won the Junior Olympics, and now runs for Stanford. She is not only speedy, but she is smart! In this episode, we detail her running story, share some memories from our childhood, talk about fueling, and most importantly, talk about injury.

Today's episode is in honor of mental health awareness month. I take a deep dive into some of the recent psychology, neuroscience, and sports medicine literature to talk about the relationship between exercise and mental health. First, I talk about how exercise can enhance mental well-being and help alleviate and prevent symptoms of common mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Then, I go into the "why" behind this relationship. I talk about the neuroscience behind why and how exercise helps our mental health, by looking at brain structure changes, neurotransmitter changes, and metabolic changes. Finally, I take a deep dive into running specifically and how running cultivates overall better mental health. I especially touch on the runner's high and the neuroscience behind it! I wrap up by discussing the opposite effect when exercise can actually hurt our mental health through overtraining or exercise addiction, and how to obtain a healthy relationship with exercise.
Some super cool research in this episode you won't want to miss if you are interested in psychology and exercise!
