OM DENNE EPISODE
From behind the wheel on a travel day fueled by too little sleep and too much airport food, Dr. Andrew Fix breaks down what it takes to protect your training, nutrition, and sanity when travel throws your routine into chaos.
Two flights, two little ones, and a 2 a.m. wake-up call set the stage for a candid look at what happens when the ideal routine falls apart under the weight of travel. Andrew shares how he and his wife handled beer, pizza, and broken sleep without spiraling, and why he refuses to let his wearable data dictate his mood the morning after a rough travel day. Consistency on the road might be the workouts you squeeze in, the food choices you make at the airport, or how fast you get back to normal once you land.
Between packed protein shakes, two gym sessions squeezed in while visiting family, and an honest take on why he won't stress over a bad recovery score, Andrew makes the case for intuitive movement and eating over rigid rules. He closes with a challenge worth sitting with before your next trip. Are you planning your travel around your goals, or only your itinerary?
Quotes
- "Ate some things that I don't eat every single day, some sweets and whatnot. Had a bunch of pizza last night .I'm not overly concerned about that because we're gonna get back here, we're gonna get back on track." (03:42 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
- “Try to maintain some semblance of a schedule from a fitness perspective. We went for a walk or two and didn't just completely sit around, which is so easy to do when you're home, you're visiting family, you're spending time hanging and talking with relatives.” (04:17 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
- "I'm guessing if I look at my watch app or my Oura Ring app, it's gonna probably tell me that my sleep was low, that my recovery is low. What I'm just gonna try not to do, not that I shouldn't pay attention to that, is I'm just gonna try not to get concerned about it, get worried about it." (05:33 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
- "Can you pack some high fiber, high protein snacks and stay hydrated? That's gonna go a long way to keeping you on track with your goals when it comes to traveling and navigating the food." (07:33 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
- "You don't need to make your trip all about the fitness or all about the food or anything like that. You just need to intuitively eat, intuitively move." (08:28 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
