In Episode 89 of the NVDM Triathlon Team Podcast, we're going beyond your splits, power numbers, heart rate, and training load to talk about the health signals your training app can't show you.

As endurance athletes, it's easy to focus almost entirely on performance metrics. But understanding your baseline health markers can provide valuable context for how you're feeling, recovering, fueling, and performing — especially during periods of high training volume.

In this episode, we cover:

🩸 Energy & Fatigue: Why iron stores can decline before hemoglobin does and what athletes should consider when they're feeling unusually run down.

🍽️ Fueling & Hormones: How underfueling can impact thyroid and hormonal health, and why lab results need to be considered alongside training load, symptoms, and cycle history.

❤️ The Long Game: Why cholesterol and metabolic health still matter even when you're training consistently and performing well.

🧪 Testing Done Right: How to collect at-home samples and properly time testing so you can get results that are more useful and comparable over time.

Your training data tells you how you're performing. Your health data can help tell you why.

Whether you're a high-volume endurance athlete, training for your next Ironman, or simply trying to stay healthy for the long term, this episode is all about looking at the bigger picture.
