Listener Questions Part 2

Listener Questions Part 2

Author: Pete Jacobs April 21, 2020 Duration: 53:55
Jaimie and Pete co host another great episode of listener questions on a wide variety of health and performance topics. Topics covered. Mental strategies when training with no race goal, how to aid immune system, how to quench cravings, approaches to get through the session when motivation and energy is lacking, eating pre and post big training sessions, pre-run food and intermittent fasting, aiding immune system with diet and how to alter training when feeling run down, MAF training, and how to practice being more present and build mental strength.   Thanks again to Modex for bringing the questions in and supplying all those listeners with some free Modex. Great to have you onboard ! I’ve been using @modexnatural for months, & training the best I’ve trained in years. Very happy to announce we are working together in 2020. . Sure, I’ve changed lots of things that have helped get me back, not simply added Modex, but all the things I’ve changed are focused on improving energy production in one way or another, as is Modex. . Reducing free radicals & increasing nitric oxide are two major factors for better energy production via increased oxygen use in mitochondria. Modex targets these pathways. . Daily routines of ☀️, electrolytes, deep 😴, 🏊‍♂️ 🚲 🏃🏽,& @modexnatural, are a few things I’m prioritizing, & I’m feeling better than ever. #domorenaturally #modexnatural

Finding a sustainable path to better health often feels like navigating a maze of conflicting advice. Live Your Own Fit | LYF Performance cuts through that noise with grounded conversations led by Pete Jacobs, a World Ironman Triathlon Champion, and his wife Jaimielle. This isn't just about extreme athleticism; it's about the practical, balanced choices that build a resilient life. You'll hear discussions that connect the dots between nutrition, daily movement, and the mental frameworks needed to stick with it. Pete naturally draws from his own journey to the pinnacle of endurance sports, not to prescribe a champion's regimen, but to share the broader lessons on mindset and perseverance that apply to anyone. The podcast operates on the principle that true fitness is deeply personal-it's the energy to keep up with your kids, the clarity to focus at work, and the vitality to enjoy your days. Each episode offers a blend of personal anecdotes, actionable lifestyle tips, and thoughtful dialogue aimed at helping you define what performance means in your own life. Tune in for a refreshingly honest take on building health from the ground up, where the goal is lasting well-being, not just a temporary fix.
