Ep. 22: Patient Perspective: Randi Zuckerberg on Running 250 Miles, Redefining Midlife, and the Functional Medicine Approach That Made It Possible
Description
What happens when a woman in her 40s decides she’s not done—not physically, not mentally, not in the story she’s writing for herself? In this powerful episode, Randi Zuckerberg shares how a postpartum low point became the catalyst for one of the most remarkable midlife athletic transformations ever documented.
Once unable to run a single mile, Randi is now an elite ultramarathoner completing 100–250 mile races, breaking barriers, rewriting the playbook for perimenopausal athletes, and proving that women in midlife are just getting started.
Elizabeth and Randi dive into:
• How functional medicine uncovered the root causes holding her back
• The peptides, recovery tools, and mitochondrial support that changed everything
• Why women’s endurance research is decades behind—and how athletes like Randi are pioneering a new era
• Navigating hormones, recovery, injury, mindset, and the mental toughness unique to women
• What it really takes to train for a 250-mile ultra as a 40-something mom
This is an inspiring, deeply human conversation about resilience, reinvention, and what becomes possible when women stop accepting limitations.
