Brrrrrrrr it sure is getting cold here in Rochester, NY!! Despite the cold I am determined to keep up with my running schedule so on this chilly morning I got my butt out of bed and went for a fasted 6.5 mile run in the snow.
After my run my first priority was re-hydrating so I started with 1 tsp of magnesium powder mixed with 12 oz of water. As you know from Nutrition Genius Radio Episode 12: Post-Workout we like to reserve our highest carbohydrate meal for after workouts to replenish our muscle glycogen and help rebuild our tissues.

Now that it is getting colder and we’re spending more time inside it’s important to pay attention to your vitamin D intake!Vitamin D is so freakin’ cool. It is the only vitamin our bodies actually have the ability to make. It also acts differently in the body than the other vitamins and minerals do. It actually has specific target tissues within the body which means it works as a steroid hormone.

As long as I can remember, my family has had big Sunday brunches every week, right after we went to church. However, I was never a huge fan because it was a guarantee that I would end up on the couch with a GIANT stomach ache. My brother will tell you it’s because I did not want to clean up, my mother will say it was because I ate too fast and I would’ve just said it was the turkey bacon (ew!).
Well, lo and behold some 10-15 years later I LOVE breakfast and no longer get those nasty stomach pains and heartburn. How on earth did I make such a drastic change?!?
