Bonus Q&A- Iron supplements, PopTarts as fuel, and GI distress on summer runs

In this episode we dive into some of the questions answered as a part of my Fueled Masterclass Membership monthly Q&A including: How to make my GI distress in the humidity disappear!!! It doesn’t happen at any other time of the year Even after long runs and working out is anyone having trouble staying asleep? If you take an iron supplement, how important is it to take it on an empty stomach? I take it most morning on an empty stomach, but occasionally I forget. Better take take in close proximity to food or skip for a day? Are foods like poptarts and cheezits okay for carb loading or should you find better alternatives? Why the extra heavy sweaters are a higher risk for low iron? Obviously based on all you shared, this will vary for everyone…but if you have a runner with persistent iron deficiency, how long do you typically recommend cutting back their mileage vs not running at all while they are supplementing/increasing intake in their diet? Is it based on lab response? Do you recommend skipping a run for at least 1 day prior to labs because of the hemolysis?
