Fuel with Erin
Welcome to Fuel with Erin—the podcast for women looking to level up their physical and mental fitness in midlife. Hosted by hybrid athlete, ultra runner and working mom Erin Martin, this show is built on a fundamental truth: knowing your body is no longer optional. To show up for yourself and your loved ones, you need a strong foundation. And although the old playbook we relied on for years has changed, midlife is not a decline; it's a peak performance era.
By combining relatable, real-life stories from women who have been in the trenches with the latest evidence-based research, this show delivers the exact playbook you need to optimize your health, your energy and fuel for a life well-lived.
