Intuitive Eating, Weight, and Athletes – A Discussion with Registered Dietitian Heather Caplan

Meet Heather Caplan – a D.C. based Registered Dietitian, freelance writer, running coach, yoga teacher, podcast host, and mother. Heather and I connected back in 2015 at the SCAN (Sports Cardiovascular and Wellness Nutrition) Symposium in Portland OR, and I thought she would be a wonderful first guest on the Eat for Endurance Podcast!

Here are some of the topics that we cover: 

• What is Intuitive Eating? (Hint - it's more than simply eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're full!)
• Intuitive eating and sports nutrition - reconciling the two
• What is HAES (health at every size)?
• Weight and sports performance - significance of “racing weight” and lowering weight during training (but at what cost?)
• Weight and health
• Pre-natal and Postpartum running
