Questions for today’s episode include: In college I experienced a stress fracture, and since then I’ve been stuck in an injury cycle. Can you talk more about the science behind fueling to help heal injuries? What are your go to meals and snacks for track meets? I don’t have many resources at the meets and I’m someone who often runs 3 distance events. Is there a connection between motivation and energy levels, especially in a race? I notice lower motivation on days I don’t fuel as well, could these be related? You mentioned in a previous podcast that high cholesterol can be a sign of RED-S. What would you recommend for an athlete who tests high in cholesterol? Thanks so much to everyone who has submitted questions so far!
