Join our Patreon and get access to monthly bonus episodes and more nutriton content!Can fasting really slow aging? Does calorie restriction work for humans, or just for mice and yeast? And how much protein do you actually need to age well? This week on Your Diet Sucks, we break down the evidence behind the most talked-about interventions in the longevity space, what holds up under scrutiny, what doesn't, and why you might not need a supplement stack to live longer, and enjoy life. We dig into:The actual science on calorie restriction, fasting, and supplements—and where the evidence stopsWhat inflammation, oxidative stress, and telomeres have to do with how we ageThe best-researched dietary patterns for living longer (hint: it's not sexy, but it might include red wine)Why protein becomes more important as we ageThe difference between lifespan and healthspan, and why quality of life needs to be part of the conversation

In this episode, Zoë and Kylee discuss blood sugar basics, why fluctuations are normal, and how endurance athletes can make sense of numbers like A1C and glucose spikes without spiraling into diet culture doom.We break down:Why blood sugar goes up (and why that's not a bad thing)What CGMs actually tell you (and what they don't)How stress, sleep, and undereating mess with your blood sugarCommon myths around “spiking,” bonking, and insulinWhether high-carb fueling is risky or actually the pointWhy your oatmeal might be lying to youHow to build more satisfying meals and snacks—without tracking every gramAnd of course, the history of medical professionals tasting pee, becasue, of course.We also unpack the growing trend of CGM use in healthy athletes, the risks of over-optimization, and what your doctor might be missing when they say “pre-diabetic.”

On this week's show we are joined by runner-turned-cyclist Caroline Wreszin. The LA based athlete got started on the bike in highschool when an injury sidelined her from running, and she was hooked from the first ride. As a self described competitor, Caroline found her way into gravel racing, and despite her first race being icy cold, she hasn't looked back. Last year Caroline built up her own privateer program and focussed mainly on gravel racing. This year she has her eyes set on some big goals for LA 2028, and has shifted her focus onto the road. Caroline's main sponsor is Skratch Labs, and she shares what she has learned from working with the company as well as how they have helped her on the path to her goals.

Chef Biju Thomas made a major impact on cycling when he co-founded Skratch Labs with his friend Allen Lim, but these days, you're most likely to find him cooking for cyclists at large events. For example, he was part of the squad that fueled the US cycling team at the Paris Olympics last summer. More recently, he was busy making several thousand meals at Sea Otter. Biju sat down with Payson in Bentonville to chat about the logistics of cooking for Olympic athletes from such different disciplines of the sport, why meal times were so important for the riders to grow as a team, and what it was like watching them win so many medals. He also answers some listener questions, talks about his favorite moment at Sea Otter, and explains why he has Kasia Niewiadoma's Little Sugar trophy on his windowsill.Watch episode 2 of Ride With Pace here: https://youtu.be/3rMbJDoCxeQ?si=-gZU8TtFSrBa46PZGet tickets for the premiere of 'Crossing New Zealand' here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/crossing-new-zealand-film-premier-and-social-ride-tickets-1350916600919?aff=oddtdtcreatorInstagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen

This week on Your Diet Sucks, Zoë and Kylee break down the real science behind organic food, including what “organic” really means for produce, meat, and packaged snacks. We cover nutrition claims, pesticide exposure, antioxidant levels, and whether organic food impacts inflammation, gut health, or performance. We also dive into the environmental trade-offs of organic farming, the high cost of certification, and why that $19 strawberry feels morally superior.

On this episode, Andrea is joined by a very special guest: Dr. Allen Lim, founder of Skratch Labs. Allen gives us a breakdown on everything nutrition and hydration for endurance athletes. How should you fuel before/during the run? How do you measure and apply your sweat rate to how you hydrate? What role does protein play in recovery? And much more! While working as a sport scientist and coach for a professional cycling team, Dr. Allen Lim started making his own training food and sports drinks from scratch for the cyclists because too many of the pre-packaged sports bars and drinks that were marketed or given to them were laden with artificial ingredients and literally making them sick to their stomach. Eventually, he started making a “secret drink mix” in his kitchen using a recipe with less sugar, more sodium, and no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors, with a simple and clean taste created by using real fruit. Soon, word of the "Secret Drink Mix" was spreading fast and it was clear that the demand for our all natural drink mixes extended far beyond cyclists or endurance athletes. To meet the growing demand, Allen put together a team of close friends and they decided to let the secret out by opening a little company in Boulder, Colorado called Skratch Labs.

In this week's episode: Sara dives into the top 3 reasons why speed workouts are essential for long-distance runners. If you're preparing for a marathon or just looking to improve your running performance, this episode is packed with insights on how speed training can make a significant difference. Today's episode discusses: Muscle Power Recruitment: Speed workouts engage more muscle power, which is crucial during the latter stages of a marathon when fatigue sets in. High-intensity running improves stride length, pace, and cadence, leading to a better-running economy and efficiency. Building muscle power through track workouts can lead to significant improvements in running form and performance over time. Cardiovascular Benefits: Speed training strengthens the heart and lungs, enhancing the body's ability to process lactate and improving overall cardiovascular health. High-intensity intervals, such as 200-meter repeats, help the body adapt to increased levels of intensity and improve endurance. Consistent speed training can create a faster runner, making your previous 5K pace your new 10K pace, Boosting Metabolism: High-intensity workouts boost metabolism, which helps in getting fitter faster, especially beneficial for shorter marathon training builds. Enhanced metabolism aids in better energy production, making runners more efficient. DOWNLOAD A TRAINING PLAN: The ⁠Elevate Your Running Training Plans⁠⁠ ⁠are now available.

Welcome to Episode 87 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring Colette Vartanian (MS RD), a sports dietitian and the Athlete Care Manager over at Skratch Labs. Today, Colette and I are chatting about personalized hydration. It's been awhile since I did a dedicated hydration episode, so I figured it was time to revisit this important topic, especially as the weather warms up. We discuss key hydration concepts and strategies, including how to identify fluid and sodium needs during exercise, the role of thirst, prehydration vs hyperhydration/preloading, various methods of sweat rate and sweat composition testing, how to adjust your hydration plan for different weather conditions, and SO much more. If you're fairly new to my podcast or you just happened to miss it, Episode 52 with Andy Blow, the co-founder of Precision Hydration, is another great episode that deep dives into hydration. There's some overlap with today's show, but we also cover many other aspects of hydration, including a more in depth discussion of hydration basics, so it's a great starting point if you're looking to gain a better understanding of this topic. FYI, this episode is NOT sponsored by Skratch, but I really like their products and always enjoy connecting with my dietitian colleagues.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP In this episode of Life in the Peloton I get to have a chat with one of the most interesting (and interested) people I've met in the world of cycling, co-founder of Skratch Labs, Allen Lim. Dr Lim… Allen… or Al (as you can call him) may not be the first person who springs to mind when we think of the transformation of the sport over the past couple of decades. However, as he explains in this pod, his thinking and approach to the sport helped cycling move forward beyond a very traditional world to a much healthier and professional sport, from the use of power meters at Phonak to the development of the bio-passport at Garmin - Slipstream. I first met Allen whilst riding for EF Pro Cycling after a huge day in the saddle at training camp. I was blown away by how he managed to stand in front of a bunch of tired bike riders and an hour later have the whole room wide-eyed listening to his story. He is so passionate about helping athletes improve. What is more his own story is genuinely fascinating and includes some of the most important characters and periods in the sport in recent times. Allen is a guy who has made a career from listening to people and finding ways to solve what he calls the ‘bottlenecks' to performance. I love chatting with Allen because he asks questions that others don't seem to be able to ask, and his philosophies around nutrition are based on real food and supplying what athletes really need.  This is pretty much the exact reason that he ended up making sports nutrition after spending one race in Ireland having to feed the riders with only boiled potatoes! As well as discussing his background with me, Allen also took the time to answer some of your questions at the end, and - as you'll hear, his answers as always are worth a listen! There is a lot in this one: whether you love the details of sports science & nutrition, the history of cycling, or even just a great story. Sit back relax and enjoy. Cheers! Mitch

This episode is with Skratch Labs founder, coach, and exercise physiologist Allen Lim. In his mind, Allen is no different from most people: a complicated person with very simple needs. After a long career in the professional cycling industry, Allen applied his sports science skills to founding and growing Skratch Labs, a sports nutrition company and Boulder-based cafe. When he's not wrestling with emails, Allen prioritizes taking care of himself, his family, and friends.
