In this episode:

The Medical Mailbag features a discussion of a supplement derived from New Zealand black currant; CurraNZ. It is being marketed as a solution for training and racing in the heat and as a means to improve recovery. What does the evidence say? Plus, an interview with confessed "slow-pro" Carolyn Carter. Carolyn, a professional triathlete and social media influencer, shares her journey from competitive swimming to the world of triathlon, emphasizing the importance of community and support in the sport. As she navigates the challenges of training while working full-time and maintaining her online presence, Carolyn opens up about the negative comments she receives and how she chooses to respond to them with grace and humor. Through her experience, she highlights the need for a more inclusive and approachable atmosphere in triathlon, encouraging others to join the sport without fear of judgment. The conversation also touches on the significance of goal-setting, whether it’s for race times or personal achievements, and the joy that comes from small victories. Carolyn's story is not just about competition; it's about fostering a positive environment and lifting each other up in a sport that can often feel intimidating.
