    ABOUT JACQUIE MANNHARD
    Jacquie Mannhard is a mom, coach, and trail runner based in Boulder, Colorado. She has been an athlete through all chapters of life: as a competitive swimmer in childhood, to an NCAA All-American in cross country and track, to dabbling in triathlon, pushing the baby jogger, and now racing ultra-distances on trails. Since her 50K debut in 2018, Jacquie has tackled some of the most beautiful, challenging, and competitive races including the Leadville Trail 100, Highlonesome 100, Canyons 100, Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, Black Canyons, Bandera, and Javelina. Her breakthrough win at the 2023 Leadville Trail 100 surprised almost everyone, except herself. Just last month she returned to Leadville, finishing the 100 mile race one hour faster than before, and landing on the overall podium again, this time in second place.
    Jacquie loves supporting the running community through coaching all ages of athletes. Now entering her 8th season of coaching youth cross country and track, she aspires to be the coach that helps kids fall in love with running for a lifetime.
    Outside of running, Jacquie tries to keep pace with her adventurous hubby and two kids while skiing, biking, rock climbing, swimming, and playing four square on the driveway. She hopes to be moving joyfully in the outdoors for many decades to come

    Know Your Sweat: The Science of Personalized Hydration for Athletes with hDrop's Adria Abella

    08/09/2026 | 51 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    In episode #198 host Kyla Channell talks with Adria Abella, the founder behind hDrop, the first reusable sweat-testing sensor. They break down how the device works, what it measures, and why sweat sodium, fluid loss, temperature, altitude, and intensity all matter for athletes trying to dial in hydration.
    They discuss practical hydration targets, what the validation data says about accuracy and reliability, and how individualized sweat testing can help athletes avoid both underdrinking and overdrinking. Adria also shares real-world examples from UTMB, seasonal changes, and even one unexpected horse use case.
    If you’ve ever struggled with cramps, guessed how much to drink during training, or wondered whether your hydration plan is actually working, this conversation offers practical insight into using sweat data to make better decisions.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Adria shares the origin story of hDrop
    How hDrop makes sweat testing more practical
    How the device measures key hydration markers, including fluid loss, sweat rate, sodium concentration, sodium loss, potassium, and skin temperature.
    How they tested it for accuracy and reliability. Adria cites 92% accuracy for sweat loss and 87% accuracy for sodium loss over one hour of exercise.
    Sweat data is highly individual. humidity, altitude, intensity, heat adaptation, season, and clothing can all affect results.
    Running and cycling produce different sweat profiles 
    Could replacing 80% of losses may be more effective than replacing 100%? 
    Personalized testing can improve race-day decisions

    Whey, Leucine & the Science of Staying Strong with Dr. Emily Lantz

    01/09/2026 | 50 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    In episode #197 host Kyla Channell is joined by Dr. Emily Lantz, assistant professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch, for a practical conversation about how muscle responds to age, disuse, sleep loss, and protein intake. The episode focuses on what actually helps preserve or rebuild muscle, especially in middle-aged and older adults, aging women, and athletes recovering from inactivity or injury.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Muscle loss can happen quickly during inactivity, especially in older adults.
    Whey protein appears useful in disuse situations because of its high quality and easy absorption.
    Protein quality matters, not just total grams.
    Plant-based eating can absolutely work, but it often requires more planning to hit protein and amino acid needs.
    25 to 30 grams of protein per meal is a practical target for many active adults.
    Leucine is helpful, but not a stand-alone solution.
    Resistance training remains the strongest signal for building or maintaining muscle.
    Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.
    ABOUT DR. EMILY LANTZ:
    Dr. Emily Lantz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition Sciences and Health Behavior in the School of Health Professions at the University of Texas Medical Branch. She has a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Biochemistry from Iowa State University, a PhD in Nutrition Science from Purdue University. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in skeletal muscle metabolism from the Division of Rehabilitation Science University of Texas Medical Branch.
    Dr. Lantz’s research interest broadly focuses on two main themes: i). the effects of physical inactivity on skeletal muscle mass and functional capacity in middle-aged and older adults, with an emphasis on aging women and ii). the application and mechanism of action of amino acid and protein consumption on acute markers of anabolism e.g., muscle protein synthesis.

About Nutritional Revolution Podcast with Kyla Channell, MSc
The Nutritional Revolution (NR) podcast was created by founder Kyla Channell to bridge the gap between everyday nutrition advice and the specialized fueling strategies endurance athletes need to perform at their best. Recognizing the confusion surrounding when, what, and how to fuel, Kyla set out to cut through the noise, exploring the science behind nutrition and hydration for athletes straight from the researchers themselves, as well as through the real-world experience of elite and professional athletes across a wide range of endurance sports. Kyla believes that anyone, regardless of age, weight, or current challenges, can make meaningful changes to improve their health, enhance performance, and move closer to their goals with the right education, support, encouragement, and guidance.On this podcast, we go beyond food and nutrition to uncover the evidence-based strategies that help athletes perform, recover, and live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
