S2E27: Debbie Potts - Low-Carb Athletes & Adjusting Training and Nutrition Strategies for Female Athletes

Debbie Potts has been in the fitness industry for over twenty-five years. She was a competitive endurance athlete for twenty years and has accomplished many goals along the way. Debbie was nominated as one of the top one-hundred best trainers in the U.S. by Men's Journal in 2004 and 2005 and she's participated in 15 Ironman Triathlons, five of them in the Hawaii World Ironman Championship. Debbie has also owned and operated her own fitness studio and she currently teaches her WHOLESTIC Method Nutritional Therapy program to transform the WHOLE person from the inside out. In this episode, Debbie shares everything she's learned on her 25+ year journey from being a competitive endurance athlete (who also happened to be low-carb) to helping other athletes achieve optimal health, recovery, and longevity. Debbie discusses why health goes beyond just exercise training and nutrition, what other factors play a huge role in health, what it's like to be a low-carb athlete, how she started down that path, and more.
