Episode 53: Performance Nutrition with Chef and Registered Dietitian Megan Chacosky
Oct 24, 202400:57:05Tap to summarizeIn this week’s episode, Elena and Katie welcome Megan Chacosky to the show. Megan is a performance dietitian and chef extraordinaire who has built a career blending her expertise in sports nutrition with her love of cooking and her passion for supporting athletes as humans. Megan served as a Performance Chef and Sports Dietician for the US Olympic and Paralympic committee before moving to Vermont to do the same at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center for the Green Racing Project’s athletes. We cover Megan’s journey into her current position, common nutrition struggles for endurance athletes, how athletes can make fueling both easy and enjoyable, how nailing the more mundane elements is the best path to longevity in sport, how athletes can build healthier relationships with food, and a whole lot more.

Transcribe →Episode 51: Cultivating Self-Belief in Sport and Life
Oct 10, 202400:49:43Tap to summarizeIn this week’s episode, we crowdsourced yet again and asked our community to share their thoughts on self-belief. As always, we are so impressed by the wisdom, vulnerability, and insights of our listeners. Thank you all! Katie and Elena summarize the findings and dive deeper into how self-belief helps our performance, how it translates into life, how we build it, how we lose it, and the tools our community members are using to maintain it. We also have our own spiritual tangents and fair share of musings on this very important yet complex topic. Whether you are feeling on the top of your game, faking it 'til you make it, or struggling to cultivate your own self-belief right now, this episode is for you!
