Show Notes
You train for months. You nail the big day. You finish on top of the world... and three days later you're flat on your back with a stinking cold, wondering what you did wrong. The answer? Probably nothing. This is one of the most predictable things in sports science, and it doesn't just happen to athletes. The wedding, the charity walk, the brutal week at work... any big push can do it. This week's question came from a listener whose daughter placed second in her first Olympic-distance triathlon, then got knocked sideways within 36 hours. We use it to unpack the "open window," the one nutrition mistake that quietly wrecks your immunity, and the simple things that actually help you bounce back.

YOUR FREE MEAL DEAL CHEAT RESOURCE Intermittent fasting is either praised as a miracle cure for fat loss or dragged as a glorified eating disorder. Most of what you’re being fed is complete marketing garbage. In this episode: Intermittent Fasting: Science vs. Bullsh*t we explore whether you swear by the 16:8 method, think OMAD is life-changing, or think the entire fasting world is a cult- you are probably doing it wrong. No bias. No corporate sponsors. Just raw, evidence-based nutrition cutting through the noise to tell you exactly what fasting does to your body, what it doesn't do, and who is lying to you for profit. Drop the ego, and get the facts. @paulthenutritionist 🍅
