À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Welcome back to the Running Strong Mind-Body Connection podcast! In this episode, host Karen welcomes returning guest Stacy Ann Bistak, a nutritionist and wellness advocate with a passion for exploring holistic health. This time around, Stacy dives into the world of electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs)—those invisible forces all around us, from our phones, WiFi, and Bluetooth devices, to the ever-present cell towers and even the lighting in our homes.
Together, Karen and Stacy unpack the ways EMFs might impact our bodies, especially when it comes to sleep, cellular health, and energy levels. They touch on the unique challenges faced by endurance runners, from tackling sleep deprivation in ultramarathons like the Badwater 135, to sharing practical tips for recovery, nutrition, and safeguarding yourself against modern environmental stressors.
They also celebrate the restorative power of nature—think forest bathing, grounding, and the subtle yet powerful benefits of being surrounded by trees and natural essential oils. Plus, they explore healthy fueling strategies for runners, the role of whole foods like root vegetables and honey, and even cover the debate around sun exposure and sunscreen.
Whether you're an ultrarunner, a wellness enthusiast, or just curious about how everyday technology may be affecting your performance and recovery, this conversation brings fresh insights, actionable strategies, and a reminder that tuning in to your mind-body connection is key to running—and living—strong.
