How to Adjust Your Training When You're Sick with Dr. Abigail Bideaux, MD

Holley Fueled Nutrition Podcast

In this episode I am joined by Dr. Abigail Bideaux, MD to cover the topic of how to adjust your training, return to training, and navigate sickness as an athlete. We cover everything from preventing illness, why runners may be more susceptible to illness, how to return to training after being sick, when to rest vs when to train, whether or not you should take medications like Advil when sick and navigating potential side effects from chronic use, improving immune function through sound nutrition, training, and rest, and so much more.

Dr. Abigail Bideaux is currently in her third year of residency at the University of Virginia where she is able to care for patients in a variety of settings including runners at their running clinic. She received her undergraduate degree in Biology with a nutrition concentration at Cornell University and graduated from medical school at SUNY Upstate in Syracuse, NY. She is originally from upstate New York, competed in XC and on the track in high school and ran D1 at Cornell. She has been able to continue running throughout medical school including running her marathon PR of 3:24:31. She will be doing her fellowship in Sports Medicine to specialize so she can continue to work with athletes and emphasizes the importance of nutrition.
