This week's episode is the first of my May series, Mother Runners, where runners who are also moms share their experiences navigating this time in their life. Today's guest is Reilly Beatty, a registered dietitian, owner of Reilly Beatty Sports Nutrition, and new mom to her first daughter who was born just over a year ago. Reilly played D1 soccer at NC State, and found her way to running after college. She has recently gotten into longer distances like the half marathon, and will be racing the 2025 New York City Marathon this fall!
In today's episode, we talk about:
- How sports can create a toxic culture around health and body image, making athletes feel like they need to look a certain way to be successful
- Reilly's experience struggling with food and body image as it related to sport, leading her to lose her period and experience a major injury her senior season
- How Reilly was able to get her period back and find a healthy relationship with running
- What her journey has looked like postpartum and how she has learned to appreciate her body
If you want to keep up with Reilly, you can find her on Instagram at @easy.sports.nutrition or head to her website (https://reillybeatty.com/) to learn more about RBSN and their period recovery program!
