The Empower Hour with Katie & Sarah Ep. 9: Olympic gold medalist Gwen Jorgensen on CBD + Registered Dietician Jenn Giles on Fueling Right

The Empower Hour with Katie & Sarah

This episode of The Empower Hour with Katie & Sarah is all about what you do off the bike to make you a better athlete. First, Katie and Sarah catch up on the conclusion of ther 6 Weeks To Speed program, where they crushed their 5K goals, spring allergies, and a fun new joint venture. For Power Up, they bring on Registered Dietician-Nutritionist Jenn Giles, who, aside from being an accomplished triathlete and triathlon coach, has a private practice, Eat 4 Sport, where she helps athletes improve and grow by fueling right. Jenn shares awesome insight on just about everything, from how to become a Registered Dietician, how to fuel before, during, and after workouts, as well as ways to stay hydrated--especially when you're sweating buckets on the Peloton. She also answers listener questions on the spot. Then, our Powerhouse is a true champion: None other than Gwen Jorgensen, the first American to win a gold medal in the sport of triathlon, which she nabbed in 2016. Gwen has since had a son and turned her focus strictly to running and will be competing in the Olympic Trials next month. We chat with Gwen about her recent partnership with Beam, a company focused on providing CBD products tailored to active living. Gwen shares about how she uses CBD products to help her recovery and her wellness, reveals her impressive sleep hygiene routine, and talks candidly about how being a mom has changed her perspective as an athlete. 13:00: Power Up segment with Jenn Giles Join Jenn Giles' free FB Group: THE SPORTS NUTRITION HUB Follow Jenn on Instagram: @jenngilesEat4Sport 49:30 Powerhouse: Powerhouse segment with Gwen Jorgensen Follow Gwen on Instagram:@gwenjorgensen Watch Gwen's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/gwenjorgensen Learn more about Beam: https://beamtlc.com/pages/about-us Follow Beam on Instagram: @beam
