Cindy Dallow, Phd, RD | July 2026 If you’ve ever stood in your kitchen at 9:00 p.m. debating whether that bowl of Greek yogurt is “recovery fuel”… or a “bad decision,” you’re not alone. For years, we’ve been told that eating before bed is a one-way ticket to fat gain and poor sleep. But newer research, especially from Dr. Michael J. Ormsbee and his team at Florida State University, suggests the story is a lot more interesting. And for active people (especially cyclists loggin

Dr. Aaron C. Castonguay DPT, OCS, CSCS | June 2026 When most people think about longevity, they think about exercise, nutrition, sleep, and perhaps genetics. They’re not wrong. Strength training helps preserve muscle mass. Aerobic fitness improves cardiovascular health. Nutrition fuels adaptation and recovery. Sleep allows the body and brain to repair. But there is another pillar of longevity that often gets overlooked because it doesn’t fit neatly into a fitness tracker, blo

Duncan Koehn MS | May 2026 The 2026 edition of the London Marathon was a particularly exciting moment for endurance sport. The two-hour barrier has been the rabbit of the elite running community for many years, with programs like Nike’s Breaking2 pulling out all the stops to bridge the gap.

Duncan Koehn, MS 11/15/25 I recently had the privilege of serving as a guest coach with the National Training Group for the U.S. Ski Team. This camp brings together the nation’s top athletes aged 16 to 22 to gain experience, refine their skills, and learn from both peers and seasoned coaches. This year’s camp coincided with the National Team Training Camp, creating a unique opportunity for collaboration and knowledge sharing among athletes and coaches at the highest levels of

Dr. Cindy Dallow PhD, RD 11/3/2025 One of the most common questions I get as a dietitian is, “How can I prevent gaining weight during the holidays?” Let’s be honest, the stretch between Halloween and New Year’s can be tough, even for the most dedicated fitness enthusiasts. Candy bowls at work, big family dinners, endless parties, and travel all make it easy to consume extra calories and skip workouts. Research shows that the average adult gains about two pounds during this ti

By: Duncan Koehn MS Ski mountaineering (AKA Skimo) is one of the fastest growing winter sports in the world. With more resorts opening their slopes for uphill access and its official inclusion in the 2026 Olympics, participation is skyrocketing. But with growth comes a sobering reality: Skimo athletes face high rates of injury, often tied to training behaviors, equipment choices, and resilience. As Aaron highlighted in last month’s blog post, preparation can make the differe
