Do You Need Salt Tablets? With Alan McCubbin

Do You Need Salt Tablets? With Alan McCubbin

When it comes to talking about sodium, there is no better brains trust than Alan McCubbin.

Alan is also an Advanced Sports Dietitian who has spent hours slaving away in the lab during his PhD in the area of sodium and hydration for endurance sport.

In the latest episode of the podcast, we took a dive into what the research currently shows for sodium replacement during exercise.

We discussed:

  • Why do we think sodium is important for endurance sport?
  • If there are any guidelines around sodium replacement to guide us?
  • Alan’s work in the sodium replacement and hydration space
  • What happens if we don’t take on enough sodium?
  • What happens if we overdo our sodium replacement?
  • Does it matter what form sodium replacement comes in?
  • In what situations would he recommend sodium replacement?
  • Where does sweat testing fit in with all of this?

Plus so much more! If you are an endurance athlete, this episode is not one to be missed!
