450: Debbie Potts, Low Carb Athlete

Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Mullen, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners.

Our guest this week is fellow FNTP Debbie Potts – Debbie is NASM Trainer, Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, health detective, athlete, and fellow podcaster.

In this episode, Debbie shares her insights and personal experiences as we discuss how low-carb and high-fat diets impact athletic performance, especially when it comes to endurance athletes.

Keeping with the athletic theme, we move on to talking about when and how to eat to fuel a workout. With so much “general” advice out there, we talk about the importance of bio-individuality and how listening to your body is the only way to find out the “right” way for you and your body needs.

This episode is for the occasional exerciser and the gym rat alike. Enjoy!
