Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E110 Nutrition research for athletes with spinal cord injury with Ann Hertig-Godeschalk
Q: What have you found about the effectiveness of natural supplements for UTI prevention?
While cranberry and D-Manose are frequently used, the evidence is not strong, and some data suggest that those using preventive measures may have more UTIs, possibly due to prior infection history; ongoing research aims to clarify causality.
E110 Nutrition research for athletes with spinal cord injury with Ann Hertig-Godeschalk
Q: Should we start with urinary tract infections and their prevention in SCI athletes?
UTIs are very common due to neurogenic bladder; prevention strategies like hydration and careful catheter hygiene are discussed, but evidence for cranberry or D-Manose is inconclusive and more prospective work is planned.
E105 Dietary Supplements Pt 2 with Jill Parnell
Q: What are the key considerations for para-athletes when using supplements?
Key considerations include the potential for variable absorption and response in para-athletes, the need to test nutrient levels (e.g., vitamin D, iron) before supplementation, managing side effects (like caffeine anxiety or GI issues with buffers), and ensuring products are legal, high-quality, and free of doping concerns.
E105 Dietary Supplements Pt 2 with Jill Parnell
Q: Could you summarize the main focus of the chapter and its practical takeaways for athletes?
The chapter divides supplements into health-promoting and performance-enhancing categories, discusses the evidence base (with caffeine, creatine as top performers), and provides a decision tree emphasizing starting with a healthy diet, confirming deficiencies via lab tests, evaluating evidence, and re-evaluating impact over time.
