Supplements areeverywhere these days, from ads to influencers, to athletes. Andrea is joined by returning guestJenn Giles (MS, RDN, CSSD) to sort through the myriad of supplements available to runners. Jenn gives us valuable insight on how to find safe and true-to-the-label supplements, which is harder than it may seem. They take a look at the performance benefits (and risks) of things like caffeine, protein powder, and vitamin D, and explore newly popular possible performance enhancers like ketones and sodium bicarbonate.

She sits on the USOC (United States Olympic Committee) dietitian registry and works with Olympic hopefuls, NCAA Student-Athletes, Prep School Athletes, Adult Athletes and Youth Athletes.
