In this episode, we sit down with registered dietitian Brooke Czarnecki to unpack the hidden epidemic in the endurance world: under-fueling. Brooke shares her personal story of overcoming disordered eating, why RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) is more common than we think, and how you can start rebuilding trust with your body. From gut issues to burnout, we cover the symptoms you’ve probably normalized and the small shifts that can make a massive difference in how you feel on the run (and off).

In this episode, we cover:

• Why GI issues, fatigue, and injuries aren’t always “just part of running”
• What RED-S is, and why it’s often missed—even in healthy-looking runners
• Tangible signs you’re underfueling (even if you think you’re eating enough)
• Where to start when unlearning toxic nutrition advice
• How to support a friend struggling with disordered eating or underfueling
