In this episode, we’re joined by Renee McGregor, a leading sports dietitian, ultra-runner, and expert in eating disorders, particularly in athletes. Renee has spent years bridging the gap between nutrition and endurance sports, working with Olympians and amateur athletes alike to help them fuel their bodies for peak performance. In today’s conversation, we’ll dive deep into her journey—how she became a dietitian, the lessons she's learned from her own running experiences, and how she helps others avoid common pitfalls in nutrition, like underfueling and the dangers of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). We’ll also explore how to balance proper nutrition with the high demands of endurance training, her thoughts on the rise of personalised nutrition through tech, and why mental health plays such a crucial role in an athlete’s well-being. Whether you’re an endurance athlete or just someone looking to optimise your health, this episode will provide you with actionable insights on longevity, performance, and finding balance.Highlights:Rini's Running JourneyPinnacle Moments in RunningTransition to DieteticsClinical Training and Career PathDietitian vs. NutritionistUnderstanding REDSUnderstanding Recovery TimelinesThe Role of Social Media in Nutrition TrendsThe Impact of Technology on Athletic PerformanceCritique of Glucose Monitoring and AI in NutritionChallenges with Popular Nutrition ProgramsMental Health and Eating Disorders Post-COVIDNutrition Strategies for UltramarathonsRecommended Reads for Better HealthThe Importance of Innovation in NutritionWhere to Find More InformationLinks:Click here for additional helpful content mentioned in this episode.Connect with Renee McGregor on Instagram & Web.Explore The Limitless Life Workshop:We are living in a time of abundance, where entrepreneurs have more opportunities than ever before.
