Bonus Q&A- Iron supplements, PopTarts as fuel, and GI distress on summer runs

Holley Fueled Nutrition Podcast

In this episode we dive into some of the questions answered as a part of my Fueled Masterclass Membership monthly Q&A including:

• How to make my GI distress in the humidity disappear!!! It doesn’t happen at any other time of the year

• Even after long runs and working out is anyone having trouble staying asleep?

• If you take an iron supplement, how important is it to take it on an empty stomach? I take it most morning on an empty stomach, but occasionally I forget. Better take take in close proximity to food or skip for a day?

• Are foods like poptarts and cheezits okay for carb loading or should you find better alternatives?

• Why the extra heavy sweaters are a higher risk for low iron?
• Obviously based on all you shared, this will vary for everyone…but if you have a runner with persistent iron deficiency, how long do you typically recommend cutting back their mileage vs not running at all while they are supplementing/increasing intake in their diet? Is it based on lab response?
• Do you recommend skipping a run for at least 1 day prior to labs because of the hemolysis?
