Episode 9 - #1 Toxin in the Modern Diet (It's in Your Pantry Right Now)

If you're new to sports nutrition, or performance nutrition, and don't know where to start...this is it! Or, if you've been using sports nutrition for years, but think you may not be doing it as well as you could, or have been misguided somewhere along the way, this is it.

Today, Kelli breaks it down and give you what every athlete needs, the foundation of sports nutrition.

PLUS, Q&A from the Crested Butte Trail Sisters! 

Also mentioned in this episode: Apex Nutrition TV on youtube!

Yes, I've experimented with caffeine AND endurance. Caffeine from coffee, from Yerba Mate, from espresso beans, from pills. From red bull (it's the caffeine that actually gives you wings), from 5 hour energy, from caffeinated sports drinks, and from gels. 

You could say I've had a lot of time on my hands to do so, because I've done a fair amount of endurance adventures and some races. And sometimes, they start in the wee hours of the morning, at midnight (thankful for caffeine on the skimo GT), and go long. Long enough to make me question my life's choices, my running shoes, my ski boots, and my sanity.

This episode was recorded by Ben Welnak and I (www.mountainbikeradio) back in 2015. It's all still true. 

You can find my old post about it, with links to the research, here: https://www.apexnutritionllc.com/blogs/fuel-right-blog/caffeine-pills-and-performance-my-personal-experiment

And, of course, I'd love to hear about your own experiments in caffeine & endurance! podcast@apexnutritionllc.com
