  • Are Protein Sodas Worth The Hype? A Dietitian's Review
    May 5 2026

    Protein sodas are popping up everywhere right now. You can't miss their bright cans, fruity flavors, and impressive labels showcasing up to 30g of protein… all in a fizzy, sugar-free drink. But is this actually a smart addition to your routine, or just another trendy product dressed up as “healthy”?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about protein sodas, from the taste and cost to what’s really inside that can and how it compares to other protein sources.

    Because while they might taste great (honestly… most of them do), there’s a bit more going on under the surface when it comes to the type and quality of protein you’re getting.

    We’re talking:

    • The different types of proteins that companies are using, and why it matters for your protein goals.
    • How to read the ingredient list to figure out what you’re actually getting
    • My Dietitian perspective on how protein soda stacks up nutritionally against whole foods
    • When a protein soda might be a convenient option… and when it’s not

    I also share my honest take: when I’d personally reach for one, and why it’s not replacing real food in my day-to-day nutrition.

    If you’ve been curious about protein sodas, or wondering if they’re actually worth the price tag, this episode will help you make a confident, informed choice.

  • How to Nail Your Race Week Nutrition

    Race week nutrition can make or break your performance—and too many runners sabotage it by eating less just because training volume is down. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to fuel in the final week before your race so you arrive at the start line recovered, carb-loaded, and ready to perform.

    We cover when to start your carb load for a half or full marathon, how to adjust if you’re traveling or racing multiple days, common mistakes runners make the night before, and what to eat on race morning. Plus, how to stay calm when things don’t go perfectly (because they rarely do).

    If you want to feel strong, steady, and confident on race day—this episode is for you.

    Electrolytes are absolutely everywhere right now, being marketed as a requirement for good hydration whether you're running 15 miles or just sitting at your desk all day.

    But do you actually need electrolytes daily… or is this just smart marketing?

    In this episode, I break down what electrolytes really are, when they matter for runners, and when plain water plus regular meals is more than enough. We’ll cover sweat loss, sodium replacement, hyponatremia risk, hot weather training, and why many runners are spending money on products they likely don’t need.

    If you've been sipping on electrolytes daily thinking it's a necessity for your health and performance, this episode is for you.
