Summary

We've rounded up an all-female cast for this episode! Host Vanessa Ronksley chats with nutritional expert Dr. Krista Austin and professional triathlete and coach Elizabeth James about fueling the female triathlete. When it comes to proper nutrition, what differs for male versus female athletes? Do those needs change with the phases of the menstrual cycle? Listen in as Dr. Austin discusses the type and amount of protein recommendations for different female age groups, periodization of carbohydrates, signs to ensure you are fueling properly, and much more!
