	Description:		In this episode of the MTA Podcast we bring you an in-depth and fascinating conversation with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella on the subject of nutrition for runners. And in the quick tip segment we share a mantra for your first marathon that takes the pressure off your finishing time. Nutrition Interview with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella Dr. Mark Cucuzzella is a board-certified physician in Family Medicine and Professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine. He is a two-time winner of the Air Force Marathon and has run a sub-3-hour marathon for 30 consecutive years. Dr. Mark has partnered up with SteadyMD, which provides online primary care doctors for runners, and he owns a running shoe store in Ranson, West Virginia. This is the longest podcast episode we have ever released and the first episode we’ve recorded on site with our guest. Let us know what you think! Dr. Mark invited me to visit the store after hearing that we live about 90 miles away. He’s a pretty cool dude who jumps on treadmills to give live demos and answers text messages from patients while wearing haunches sandals, shorts and a backwards hat. He looks like he just came back from a trail run. It was interesting to see the running culture that has built up in Ranson -which is a town I’d never heard of previously. I got a tour of the store and then we went in to the back office to record. You might hear some background noise, since we were recording during business hours.

Mark is very passionate about nutrition and keeps up with the latest research and the conversation that is going on in the science community so it was fun to pick his brain. Additionally, he works through his local hospital to help patients get off medications and lose weight through diet and lifestyle change. In this extended conversation you will hear why he changed his mind about diet and the science behind low carb eating along with the difference between insulin resistance versus insulin sensitivity. You will also hear questions sent in by listeners regarding weight loss, fueling for marathons, when to go the traditional route for medical care, healthy snacks, knowing what diet works for you, and more.
