    Episode 3: Ironman Triathlon Whilst Taking Mounjaro or Ozempic

    In episode three of the Beyond Fear podcast, host Jen Coppock delves into the intricacies of training for an Ironman while using Mounjaro or Ozempic. Jen provides an in-depth look at her personal journey, starting Mounjaro just over a month before a 70.3 triathlon and two months before a full Ironman distance at the Outlaw in Nottingham. She discusses the physiological impacts of these peptides, highlighting their role in slowing digestion and stabilising blood sugars to control insulin, while addressing common side effects like gastrointestinal issues and fatigue. Jen emphasises the critical importance of proper fueling in endurance events, sharing her own challenges with maintaining adequate nutrition due to the appetite suppression caused by Mounjaro. She offers practical advice on adjusting doses to minimise side effects, maintaining hydration, and aligning training schedules with medication regimens. The episode features a "Nerd Alert," where Jen explores a 2019 study on GLP-1 peptides. This study examines their benefits on energy balance, mitochondrial function, and brain health, suggesting that these peptides help regulate energy and reduce oxidative stress and inflammation from intense exercise. Listeners will gain valuable insights into managing the delicate balance between weight loss and athletic performance, with Jen sharing her successes and setbacks. She also touches on the importance of personalising nutrition and hydration strategies, listening to one’s body, and the potential benefits of cycling doses. Whether you're an endurance athlete or someone interested in the effects of GLP-1 peptides on performance, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to navigating these challenges. Join Jen for an engaging and informative discussion that will help you crack on with your training and achieve your athletic goals.
