Podcast Episode #64: Dr. Jill Parnell & Dietary Restrictions to Reduce Exercise-Induced GI Issues

In this episode, Dr. Jill Parnell joins me to discuss her recently published research on restricting specific foods in order to mitigate GI distress and symptoms associated with endurance running. If you've ever experienced GI symptoms while running or racing (up to 90% of runners have experienced this sort of thing!), then this is a great episode to move you towards fixing some of these issues.

 

Dr. Parnell is an Associate Professor at Mount Royal University in the Department of Health and Physical Education. She obtained her PhD in medical sciences at the University of Calgary researching novel nutritional therapies for obesity and associated co-morbidities. Presently, she maintains an active research portfolio in the field of performance nutrition, and works with youth athletes, Paralympic athletes, and endurance runners. Her research focuses on diet quality, ergogenic aids, and exercise induced gastrointestinal symptoms.
