When Pushing Harder Stops Working (ep 160)

<p>In this episode of the Pain Free Athlete Podcast, I’m joined by Joanna Chodorowska, holistic sports nutrition coach, Ironman finisher, and founder of Nutrition in Motion, for a conversation about fueling, recovery, and learning to listen to your body instead of constantly asking more of it. </p><p>Joanna shares how overwhelming exhaustion during endurance training changed her approach to food, stress, and taking care of herself. We explore her approach to everyday nutrition, starting with manageable changes rather than overhauling everything at once. We also talk about what happens when exercise becomes your only way to manage stress. </p><p>We get into the realities of endurance training, experimenting with nutrition before race day, and the mindset that food is something you have to “earn” through exercise. I also share my own experience of training without fueling properly—and continuing to push through anyway.</p><p><br></p><p>About Joanna:</p><p><a href="">Joanna Chodorowska  (HOTERASKA) </a>is a holistic sports nutrition coach, an expert on Gastro-Intestinal issues, inflammation, arthritis and chronic pain, and all things athlete because she is one herself! She is also a prayer minister, certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach, and owner of Nutrition in Motion.</p><p> </p><p>Joanna discovered through her own healing journey from adrenal exhaustion and arthritic hips, that the body can heal given the right tools.   The keys to better health are going back to the basics:  eat more real food, balance the blood sugar, and managing stress better.  Get those down pat and  you can enjoy more of your body and your life!</p><p> </p><p>She provides more than hope for you to get back to your active life better than you thought possible.  Fuel your whole body, mind, spirit and sport and discover the power of real food nutrition and anti-inflammatory diet.</p><p><strong>Joanna&#39;s Links:</strong><br>Nutrition in Motion: www.nutritioninmotion.net<br></p><p>Enjoyed this conversation?
