Ep 54: Does your nutrition approach feel fuzzy? "It's time for a vibe check"

For something as simple as eating, the amount of conflicting (and scientifically unfounded) advice out there is astounding. In a quick Google search, you could find 5001 things in your diet that are "going to kill you" or "give you cancer" or "make you fat".  On this podcast, we like to cut through that noise. And Caitlin has TWO amazing new resources coming for you (and they're way better than a wayward, chaotic web search -- trust me).  In this episode, we discuss:
- the basics many climbers are missing- how to use the ROCK Map to do a quick evaluation of your nutrition- the most cost-effective way to work with Caitlin (under $50 for personalized coaching? YES PLEASE)  MEGA BETA BAG: www.getmegabeta.com
