Most hydration advice for athletes falls into one of two categories: drink a certain number of ounces per day, or follow your thirst. Both have their place. Neither one accounts for the fact that sweat rate and sweat sodium concentration vary enormously between individuals — and that those individual differences are exactly what determines whether

GLP-1 receptor agonists — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound — are the most talked-about development in weight management in decades. The clinical results are real and significant. The interest is understandable. And the questions coming into dietitian offices have shifted accordingly: Should I be on one of these? What should I eat while I’m taking it?

Low energy is one of the most common complaints people bring to their doctors, their dietitians, and their own internet searches. It is also one of the most consistently misattributed symptoms in health and wellness — pointed at sleep, stress, thyroid function, or simply being busy — when the actual driver is frequently more straightforward

“His vs. hers weight loss” is one of the most searched comparisons in fitness, and it almost always comes from the same frustrating place: two people start the same diet, put in comparable effort, and end up nowhere near the same result. He drops weight without trying very hard. She does everything by the book,

Sports nutrition gets reduced to a handful of familiar images: protein shakes, carb-loading pasta dinners, energy gels taped to someone’s race belt. It’s become shorthand for the stuff athletes do around the edges of their training — the products they take, the pre-workout rituals they follow, the post-run recovery drinks they pour. The actual discipline

Intuitive eating might be the most misunderstood framework in nutrition right now. Depending on where you encounter it, it’s either a revolutionary approach to dismantling diet culture or a naive idea that ignores the reality of athletic performance. It gets dismissed as “just eating whatever you want” by people who haven’t looked closely at it,

Most people who end up in a dietitian’s office have already been somewhere else first. They’ve had labs run. They’ve been told everything looks normal. They’ve been given general healthy eating advice that technically isn’t wrong but also hasn’t moved the needle on whatever they came in with — fatigue, GI problems, hormonal irregularity, inflammation,

Rest days are one of the most misunderstood parts of marathon training — and not just in terms of how many to take or what to do on them. The nutrition question that comes up most consistently from runners in the middle of a training block is some version of this: since I am not

Most runners know they are supposed to think about electrolytes. Fewer know why. The conversation tends to get collapsed into hydration in a general sense — drink enough water, maybe grab a sports drink on a long run, and you have covered it. The reality is more specific and more interesting than that, and understanding

Hormonal imbalance is one of those terms that gets used so broadly it can start to feel meaningless. Bloated, tired, moody, irregular periods, unexplained weight changes, poor sleep, hair falling out, all of it gets attributed to hormones, often without a clear picture of which hormones, why they are out of balance, or what can
