    Appetite zapped in the heat or after a workout?

    It has been so hot where I live!! Why does our appetite get suppressed or reduced while training? This is really common when we are training, especially in hot weather. What do we do about it? Do we need to worry or care about it? I talk about what is happening in your body that is making your appetite is suppressed or reduced. I give you tips on how to get out of the fight or flight mode and into rest and digest mode.

I share reasons why I sometimes choose the manufactured sports products on my long runs.

    "But I am worried about your hEalTh"

    "But I am worried about your hEalTh"

    I am talking about body shaming. I share about some experiences I have had lately with my Instagram reels. I have a lot to say about this and how it's so unfair that women's bodies are so sexualized and objectified. It sucks. I share how I am processing this and how it's okay to feel two things at once, to be angry at your body and at society for thinking it's okay to comment on others bodies.

Every Episode

Serena Marie RD, you are the real deal. You come each week with an episode full of nutrition wisdom, and authenticity! You share honestly and open and give super informative info for nutrition while running! I am excited each week when a new episode is dropped!

Not just good...real and honest

I love this show because it isn't just full of great information for runners...it's real and honest too. The "body shaming" episode did it for me. Having dealt with this a lot, it was great to hear someone speak so openly about it.

Women are athletes and it’s awesome

I think what’s amazing about Serena is that she really cares about getting her message out to women that it’s not only great but *important* to feul the athlete you are! She is so open and responsive that you that it makes it so easy to interact with and learn from her. Her honesty and vulnerability make it so easy to take her advice and ideas to heart. She helped me move from an underfeuled - and injured - runner to one who is fed and injury free. I can’t recommend Serena more and this podcast is like free liquid running gold! 🏃🏻‍♀️💜
