Anna Titcomb: How to Fuel Your Outdoor Adventures | Ep 38
What we eat can have a bigger impact on our outdoor experiences than we might realize.
In Episode 38 of the More Than Outdoors Podcast, Austin French sits down with Anna Titcomb, a registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator, and founder of Growing Wild Wellness in Ellsworth, Maine, to talk about the role nutrition plays in helping people feel their best while spending time outside.
A seventh-generation Mainer with more than 11 years of clinical experience, Anna has combined her background in nutrition with her passion for outdoor recreation to help people better fuel their adventures. Through Growing Wild Wellness, she provides individualized nutrition counseling and works with outdoor guides, outfitters, and brands to make nutrition a more intentional part of the outdoor experience.
Throughout the conversation, Austin and Anna explore how to approach nutrition before, during, and after outdoor activities, from a casual day hike to a multiday backpacking trip or ultramarathon. Anna shares practical advice on planning meals and snacks, staying hydrated, understanding your body's needs, and making better nutrition choices without overcomplicating the process.
They also dive into some of the unique challenges of fueling outdoor adventures in Maine, particularly during the winter months when cold temperatures can change how we experience hunger, thirst, and hydration.
One of the most important themes of the episode is that nutrition is incredibly individual. What works for one person might not work for another, and finding the right approach often comes down to paying attention to your body, experimenting with different foods, and making small adjustments along the way.
Whether you're an experienced endurance athlete, someone trying to spend more time outside, or simply looking for ways to improve your everyday nutrition, Anna offers plenty of approachable advice that can help you feel more prepared and confident for whatever adventure comes next.
Because at the end of the day, eating well isn't just about performance. It's about giving yourself the energy and opportunity to enjoy more of the experiences that make life outdoors so rewarding.
