In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interviewed bariatric athlete, trail runner, and licensed marriage and family therapist, Charise Spencer, also known as @bariinspiredliving on IG. We discussed:

• Why Charise got into trail running and what a typical race might look like
• How to train for trail running including a typical training week and strength training
• The biggest nutrition changes Charise implemented to fuel for endurance trail races
• How Charise coped with injury and her advice to clients when facing setbacks along the bariatric journey
• Key mindset changes during major life changes like bariatric surgery
• How Charise advices her clients on keeping balance with nutrition and fitness goals
