  • I wish I’d found this sooner!

    The Lane9 podcast is a lifeline for anyone navigating the complexities of training, health, and performance as a female athlete.

Heather normalizes topics that are rarely discussed and brings each guest’s story to life with curiosity, warmth, and compassion. The episodes are honest, informative, and empowering, leaving you both educated and inspired. It’s a rare and necessary resource. Ever... more

  • 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!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fueling Through Injury: Nutrition, Body Image, and Getting Back on the Bike with Shira Evans
Q: What is your favorite snack right now?
Shira talks about savory toast with cottage cheese, avocado, and bagel seasoning as a current favorite, framing it as a practical, energy-dense choice for recovery periods.
Nutrition: Signs You're Actually Eating Enough as an Athlete (and How to do That!), with Dietitian KC Stockmon
Q: What signs indicate you're eating enough?
Signs include consistent energy levels, not thinking about food constantly, stable sleep, good mood and performance, efficient recovery, and a lack of persistent hunger or GI distress between meals.
Nutrition: Signs You're Actually Eating Enough as an Athlete (and How to do That!), with Dietitian KC Stockmon
Q: What role does pre-exercise fueling play and how should it be tested?
Pre-exercise fueling provides an energy reserve and should use simple, fast-digesting carbohydrates; test different options during training runs or easy sessions to observe tolerance and performance without risking a race.
Nutrition: Signs You're Actually Eating Enough as an Athlete (and How to do That!), with Dietitian KC Stockmon
Q: How should athletes start adjusting their fueling to meet needs?
Begin with meeting energy needs through regular meals and snacks, aim for three meals a day with two to three snacks, ensure a balance of food groups, and practice flexibility so fueling can adapt to schedule changes, while gradually testing before/during/after strategies to find what works for the individual gut and training.
Nutrition: Signs You're Actually Eating Enough as an Athlete (and How to do That!), with Dietitian KC Stockmon
Q: What is low energy availability and how does it affect athletes?
Low energy availability is a mismatch between the energy the body needs for activity and the energy consumed through food, which can impair digestion, sleep, mood, and performance over time. It's a spectrum, and identifying early signs helps athletes address it before red-s flags appear.
