In this episode, Dr. Gemma Sampson speaks with professional triathlete Cody Beals about the complexities of nutrition for endurance athletes. Now in his 11th pro season, Cody shares his journey from under-fueling and dealing with health issues like low testosterone and bone density loss, to finding an optimal nutrition strategy that supports peak performance, health, and body composition. They discuss the myths and challenges around fueling, the differences between various training and daily nutrition needs, and the importance of a balanced approach—eschewing rigid dietary rules in favour of flexibility and adequate fueling. Cody emphasises that nutrition is a moving target, influenced by the athlete's training phase and individual needs, and underscores the value of community and professional guidance in this journey.
