Summary
Firefighting doesn't fit a standard 9-to-5 mold, and standard dietary advice often fails on shift. On this episode of Perspectives on Leadership, host Stephen Shaw welcomes registered dietician Megan Lautz to talk about tackling real-world nutritional challenges first responders face. They emphasize smart, actionable habits, such as learning how caffeine affects fluid levels, why targeted sugar in an oral rehydration solution speeds recovery, and how simple swaps can replace heavy pre-workout supplements.
