Real Fuel with SLS

By: Stevie Lyn Smith MS RDN CSSD CDN
  • Summary

  • Welcome to Real FUEL with SLS: real food, real training, real talk where we push past the finish line and surface level stuff and dive into the real world of endurance sports– where we’re both an athlete, and human. I'm your host, Stevie Lyn, and I'm here to tell you this isn’t going to be a lighthearted small talk kind of show. We're talking sweat, tears, and the honest truth about what it takes to conquer mountains, both literal and metaphorical without losing sight on having fun and finding joy along the way. We'll get up close and personal with incredible humans and athletes, crack the code on cutting-edge nutrition, and expose the BS so you can fuel your body and mind for the long haul. This is where vulnerability meets victory, where science meets the soul, and where every bite, every stride, every struggle shapes the best version of us within. So, if you're ready to embrace the imperfections, the doubts, and the raw determination of human potential, join me on this unfiltered exploration of endurance. This is Real Fuel with SLS, and it's about time we get a little... honest.
