As temperatures climb, an overwhelming number of female athletes notice their appetite completely vanish. If you’ve ever wondered why hot weather or intense training in a warm environment leaves you feeling entirely averse to food, and whether it means your body suddenly requires less energy, this episode is a non negotiable listen. Lilly and Jenna break down the internal mechanics of what happens to the body when core temperatures rise. They expose the reasons why your natural hunger cues become highly unreliable during the summer months, and why trying to use intuitive eating during a July or August heatwave is a direct trap for anyone navigating hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) recovery. The conversation highlights the red flags that signal a temporary drop in appetite has morphed into a dangerous slip back into Low Energy Availability (LEA). Lilly and Jenna share their absolute favorite fueling hacks that are easy on the stomach when it is hot out, allowing you to continue your recovery journey even in the heat of summer. Tune in to find out if your summer habits are accidentally stalling your cycle, and learn how to keep your metabolism, hormones, and athletic performance thriving all season long. The Eat More Carbs Podcast is the go-to podcast for the GIRLIES who want to fuel their body properly with easy, fun, and simple nutrition! Hosted by Reilly Beatty and Jenna Fisher, two registered dietitians who bring you weekly episodes to help you meet your goals while breaking free of diet culture.
