Episode 93 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast features runner and jewelry designer, Erica Sara Reese, who is the talent behind Erica Sara Designs. 

Erica grew up dancing ballet, dabbled in crew while in college, and eventually discovered her love of running while going through some major life and career changes. She actually completed the same nutrition program at NYU that I did, but then decided to pursue her jewelry business instead. 

Erica has spoken openly about her recent struggles with burnout, breast cancer, and perimenopause, and continues this discussion and where she’s at now in today’s episode. 

Here are some of the other things we explore:

  • How her nutrition and overall self-care routine has evolved, especially in recent years
  • What survival looks like - not in the context of cancer, but relating to the juggling act of everyday life (parenthood, running our own business, preparing food for the family, taking care of yourself, relationships, etc.)
  • The individual nature of nutrition decisions, and how the most important thing is what feels good to you in your unique body

While I asked many of the same questions I often include in my Athlete Nutrition Profiles, this was a far more conversational episode than usual. I think many of you will relate to what we are both experiencing in our own lives, and I hope you enjoy our discussion!
