Fueling Active Adults: Training, Recovery, and Real Life with Beth McCall, MS, RD, CSSD (ep – 84)

Calling all active adults, current athletes, and former athletes, we are talking about you! In this episode, Dr. Ginger Hultin is joined once again by sports dietitian Beth McCall, MS, RD, CSSD, to explore what fueling looks like for active adults. Together, Beth and Ginger unpack how recovery, energy needs, and nutrition priorities can change with age, and why adults often need to think beyond simply their workouts to support the stress load of everyday life. The conversation also dives into the emotional side of health and performance, including body changes, identity shifts for former athletes, and the pressure many adults feel to meet expectations around food and fitness. Whether you're getting back into exercise, trying to support your recovery more intentionally, or simply looking for a realistic way to fuel your body, this episode has it all!
