  • A Good Balance!

    I appreciate all this podcast does to promote the health of female athletes. From Q&A episodes (of which I would like to see more) to interviews with both athletes and clinicians, this podcast encourages fueling for the long run and provides hope that there is health after conditions like REDs, eating disorders, and hypothalamic amenorrhea. Keep up the good work, Team!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Athlete Perfectionism & Exploring Self-Worth in Sports with Dr. Savannah Landis
Q: What is self-worth, and how does it differ from self-esteem in athletes?
Self-worth is a stable sense of being enough as you are, not dependent on performance. Self-esteem fluctuates with how well you perform or meet goals, leading to emotional highs and lows; stable self-worth can weather ups and downs without personal worth feeling tied to outcomes.
Pro Runner Gabi Rooker on Fibroids, Fertility Treatments, and Training for Boston 2026
Q: How did your first marathon experience set you up for future races and your training intensity?
I learned to fuel effectively, manage energy availability, and gradually increase weekly mileage while prioritizing sleep and recovery, which prepared me for faster second and third marathons.
Pro Runner Gabi Rooker on Fibroids, Fertility Treatments, and Training for Boston 2026
Q: What were some things you thought about when you got the Nike contract and considered starting a family at the same time?
I weighed how family planning would fit with a potential peak running window, and the contract's maternity provisions helped me feel there was room to plan without sacrificing my career.
A Connection Between Perimenopause, Disordered Eating, and REDs with researcher and clinician Meghan Vogt
Q: What is Meghan Vogt researching regarding perimenopause and athletes?
She is examining how disordered eating and REDs present in female endurance athletes during perimenopause, aiming to improve recognition, screening, and support across athletic development.
Carbohydrates: What athletes need to know, with dietitian Brooke Czarnecki
Q: What is our body using all those carbs for?
Carbohydrates provide the body's primary energy source for movement and support brain, hormone, and overall function; during endurance work and high training loads, glucose availability supports performance, recovery, and health.
