This is a special episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast celebrating 200 episodes and our 4 year anniversary! For the first time, Lindsey Cortes is the guest rather than the host. Instead, podcast producer Ruby Wyles is behind the mic leading this conversation. This episode has it all: reflections on 200 episodes, family updates, future projects, dream guests, sports nutrition trivia, myth busting and much more! We are so grateful to you, our audience, for tuning in each and every week, and we want to hear from you! Check out all the topic timestamps and links below for everything we mentioned and ways to get in touch. Here’s to 200 more!
