Eat More, Train Smarter: Why Fueling Female Athletes Is Non-Negotiable w/ Reilly Beatty & Jenna Fisher
Description
🔥 What if your performance plateau, low energy, or missing period isn’t just part of being an athlete, but a red flag? In this episode of Fresh & Fired Up, Dr. Emily Marshall and Hailee Piendl sit down with Reilly Beatty and Jenna Fisher, the powerhouse duo behind Eat More Carbs – A Period Recovery Podcast – to unravel the hidden cost of under-fueling for female athletes.
From body image pressures to the misunderstood role of menstrual health, this conversation goes beyond carbs and calories. You'll hear why recognizing yourself as an athlete (even if you're not competing), prioritizing recovery, and reclaiming your energy could be the real game-changers for your health, performance, and confidence.
If you're tired of confusing messages about what it means to be fit, strong, properly fueled, this one’s for you.

- Signs you’re under-fueling (even if you're eating “healthy”)
- Why losing your period isn’t “just part of training”
- The identity shift no one talks about when you stop competing
- How social media warps female athleticism
