EP 222: Toxic jobs, fertility and why moving your body can’t be your only coping mechanism
Carli Davis is a functional sports dietitian who helps active women fuel smarter, prevent burnout (aka REDs), and support hormone health—without fad diets or pseudoscience. A lifelong runner and former collegiate athlete, she’s especially passionate about working with endurance athletes, but enjoys helping anyone who values their health and wants to feel their best. Carli began her career in clinical nutrition in 2017, specializing in nutrition support in the ICU and for those undergoing bone marrow transplants. In 2021, she transitioned to preventive health and launched her own private practice in 2024 after relocating to Austin. Her approach is deeply integrative and personalized—combining functional lab testing with root-cause exploration to go beyond the “everything looks normal” response when the body is clearly asking for more. She’s on a mission to help women avoid the pitfalls of underfueling and return to a thriving state—where performance, hormone balance, and day-to-day energy align. Carli also values collaboration and often partners with other providers, such as physicians and therapists, to ensure her clients receive well-rounded support. You can connect with Carli or book a free discovery call at , or check out her popular Meal Planning Guide at . In this episode we chat about: Toxicity of running to lose weight Dieting is crushing your performance goals What is RED-s and why you should know about it Why you need to strive to be fertile (even if you don’t want a baby) Why carbs are so important Your toxic job is literally killing you Its okay to not train for a race Moving your body shouldn’t be your ONLY coping mechanism Why intermittent fasting is trashing your performance

Kaitlyn Franken is a Board Certified Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Nutrition Specialist with a Master’s in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine and a Bachelor’s in Health Education and Behavior. What truly sets her apart is her personal experience. She understands how frustrating it is to feel like something is wrong in your body and not have the answers. Kaitlyn was able to navigate and solve her own health issues after seeing doctor after doctor and was repeatedly dismissed being told that everything looked “normal.” That’s when she discovered functional lab testing and finally found the answers she had been seeking. She was dealing with undiagnosed SIBO, hypothyroidism, gallbladder dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, mold toxicity, and more. With the right data, she was able to piece together a plan and, slowly but surely, reclaim her health and her life. Today, Kaitlyn uses that same data-driven and compassionate approach to support her clients. Whether they’re navigating gut issues, hormone imbalances, mood or behavior concerns in their children, or simply trying to feel like themselves again, Kaitlyn is committed to helping uncover the root causes and build a clear, personalized path toward healing.
