Eating When Rehabbing from an Injury

How should your diet change when injured?


Do you eat less to offset training less? Do you eat more to give
your body extra nutrients to aid in the recovery process? What
about antiinflammatory foods - do they help or hinder? And are
there any supplements that can help? 


In today’s episode, we’re bringing you a never published episode
we recorded with the late professor Kevin Tipton. 


Kevin was a Senior Lecturer in Exercise Metabolism in the School
of Sport and Exercise Sciences at The University of Birmingham
and an Assistant Professor, Department of Surgery, at the
University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. 


Sadly, Kevin passed away last year but we still wanted to share
this episode with you since it’s so helpful and packed with
valuable information all runners can use when they are injured.


Kevin’s passion for his work, his dedication to science and
research, and most importantly his compassion and caring for
others shines through in this interview. 


We hope that you enjoy and walk away with some actionable advice
so that food can be an asset and a source of pleasure—rather than
a source of stress—during an already trying time.


You’ll learn…

recovery and maintain muscle mass during injury.
