In The Flow

Winter is upon us and with it the specific nutrition and hydration demands of pushing hard in cold temps. I'm thrilled to have Registered Dietitian Kylee Van Horn on the pod this week to discuss all things fueling, hydration, and strategies for winter endurance sport, plus nutrition philosophies, plant-based and vegan endurance considerations, and more. You can find Kylee at flynutrition.org or on Instagram @flynutrition3. 

My guest today is ultra-endurance cyclist and filmmaker, Josh Reid. Hailing from the UK, Josh has completed many incredible expeditions by bike, including a multi-month trip from China to England, and more recently competing in the Transcontinental race across Europe.  Josh joins In The Flow to share stories from the road, how he fuels as a primarily plant-based athlete, and his approach to filmmaking.

Winter is here in the Mountain West and that means SKIING! For those of us lucky enough to live near snow and skiable slopes, we must consider the nutrition demands of such activities. Particularly when it comes to backcountry ski touring or ski mountaineering (AKA skimo), there are legitimate safety and performance considerations. So, today on the podcast I re-hash a previous episode that covers everything you might need to know about eating and fueling for backcountry skiing and skimo.

In The Flow is back - after a summer away from the podcast I'm settling back into the groove (ahem, flow) of creativity and motivation to educate and inspire athletes to live and eat better in pursuit of performance. This episode updates the listener on my summer endeavors, future goals for the show and my coaching services, and more. Visit intheflownutrition.com to connect and learn more. Cheers to more podcast and video content to come.

This week I'm back with a wide-ranging conversation on performance, the mental side of sport, coaching insights, and more with Matt Whitcomb, the current head coach of the U.S. Ski Team on the cross-country side. Matt has played a pivotal coaching role in the last 3 winter Olympic games, including helping Jessie Diggins to her historical silver medal performance this year. Matt and I dive into the behind the scenes of what makes young and elite athletes alike thrive, and how he approaches his coaching practice. Be sure to follow him on Twitter @matt_whitcomb.  Connect with me for performance nutrition consulting services at intheflownutrition.com.

A blast from the past. My previous co-host from the Thought For Food days Aaron Stuber returns to the show for a random conversation covering ADHD, writing books, mortality, and more. Visit intheflownutrition.com to connect and sign up for nutrition consulting services.

In this episode, I discuss the connections between over-reaching and overtraining, low energy availability, and RED-S and how athletes should balance training hard with recovering harder. For more info, resources, and references visit intheflownutrition.com/blog.
