Healthy Charleston

In this episode, Hannah (@made2movept) sits down with sports dietitian Alaine Mills, MS, RD, CSSD to talk about what athletes get wrong about nutrition versus what actually drives performance. They cover the biggest surprises Alaine sees with her athletes: chronic under-fueling, carb fear, protein obsession, and how meal timing can make or break energy and recovery, along with practical strategies for fueling before, during, and after workouts, the 30–60g/hour carb rule for endurance athletes, and what to eat on game day. They also dig into youth athlete nutrition, injury recovery fueling, and how parents can help kids build healthy food relationships without labels or restriction.Links:Website: https://muschealth.org/IG: @chssportsrd Want real, no-BS advice on health, training, and living pain-free?
