  • What is this about?

    I’m confused? I thought you were going to talk about/ maybe interview athletes competing in Paris? This is just Kelly giving her opinion on random topics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What is 'intuitive eating'? And why you should try it with Eden Morris MS, RD, LD
Q: Why is the idea that intuitive eating means ignoring training needs a myth?
Because intuitive eating includes honoring hunger and fueling before, during, and after workouts; it emphasizes adequate energy and carbohydrates to support performance, not neglecting training needs.
Cannabis isn't what you think anymore with Dr. LaTisha Bader
Q: What is the best way to approach cannabis use for sleep and recovery?
Recognize that while cannabis can help with sleep latency, it may disrupt REM sleep and recovery; evaluate on an individual basis, monitor with wearables, and consider a controlled tolerance/withdrawal plan.
Cannabis isn't what you think anymore with Dr. LaTisha Bader
Q: What are the key physiological differences in how women process cannabis compared to men?
Women experience a telescoping effect, processing cannabis more slowly due to fat-soluble properties, leading to longer-lasting effects and greater potential impact on sleep, recovery, and hormonal systems.
Cannabis isn't what you think anymore with Dr. LaTisha Bader
Q: How has cannabis landscape changed over the past two decades, especially for female athletes?
Potency has increased dramatically, with new delivery methods and products that deliver high THC levels; marketing has targeted women, and product labeling is often misleading or incomplete, making independent testing crucial for informed choices.
Bone Health Secrets Every Female Athlete Needs with Dr. Stephanie Mundt
Q: What do you tell athletes about imaging decisions, especially when X-rays are negative but symptoms persist?
If a bone stress injury is suspected, X-rays are often unhelpful; MRI is the gold standard for diagnosis, though some sites may still be tricky and require CT; clinical history and training load are critical in decision-making.
