Joshua Rowe: Maurten Hydrogel, Gut Training & Oxidizing Carbohydrates

On the first episode of the new year, I jump back into the performance side of things with sports scientist, reacher and PhD, Joshua Rowe. I was connected with Josh through Maurten who has been supporting my triathlon journey with their gels and drink mixes and when I wanted to get some guidance on fueling plans and to learn more about their Hydrogel technology, they linked me up with Josh. We dive into his experience with running and fueling, diving into his own performance research studies on fueling, gut training and thresholds and why the hydrogel technology works so well to minimize GI distress while oxidizing really efficiently. Carbs have been the enemy for me the last few years, but as I get into proper endurance training, they're becoming my friend and I got to ask Josh a ton of questions that have bolstered this relationship with his guidance as an expert in the field.

Emotional Eating & State Change

When stress creeps up into normal life or during a global pandemic, I usually find myself quickly falling into emotional eating. It began when I was a child; I watched my dad do it, I ate to avoid studying in high school, and now financial stress can drive me to it. Cookies, ice cream and popcorn have always there for me. But eating these foods isn’t really the worst part, it’s how we tend to beat ourselves up about it afterwards.

Finding Balance with Ginger

I like to talk a lot about finding balance and living in harmony, in my life that’s been challenging as I’ve put most of the emphasis on doing, rather than being. That ties into the essential idea of recovery and nurturing ourselves in a supportive way, and ginger is one of the magic ingredients that can help us in a natural way.
