show moreDuring the interview, Dr. Kate and Kacy talk to Meghann about her transition to being a small business owner in owning her own nutrition consulting business, Featherstone Nutrition. As part of her services, she offers one-on-one and group nutrition coaching and regularly posts recipes and fueling tips on her blog and social media channels like Instagram @featherstonenutrition. They also talk about some of her fueling strategies for runners and the timing of this nutrition before, during, and after workouts and races. Meghann regularly tests out fueling strategies within her own training and has been known to put together some interesting combinations of “toast” breakfasts including a recent Instagram post of peanut butter, pickles, veggie sausage, and sriracha hot sauce on toast! She also has a self-professed love of bagels and graham crackers, both to fuel workouts and as carb loading strategies going into a marathon race (checkout her website for a free Carb Load Guide).
Meghann also talks about some “myth busting” that she regularly does in educating clients how to deal with issues such as GI issues, hydration, and timing of nutrition (HINT: not all gels are created equal!). She also talks about some of the misconceptions that arise from some nutrition tactics that are often passed around (but ineffective) in endurance athlete culture. She also talks about some of the research on coffee and caffeine’s influence on performance including the pros and cons of caffeinated energy gels.
