I ate out 5 times last week (here’s what happened)

What really happens to your body when you eat out more than usual? In this episode of The Athlete with Asthma Show, I share how going from 1–2 meals out per week to eating out 5 times in just 7 days wrecked my sleep, spiked my anxiety, and triggered heartburn and food cravings I hadn’t felt in years.

If you're trying to live a high-performance lifestyle—especially with asthma—your nutrition choices matter more than you think. I break down the physiological domino effect that happens when you prioritize convenience over clean eating, how it tanked my sleep and hydration, and why even fast food cravings can become a self-reinforcing cycle.
