Reclaiming Your Energy — Why Sleep Isn't Always the Answer
Time: 12pm-1pm
For women who run, pushing through fatigue can feel like a badge of honor. But chronic tiredness isn't a character flaw to overcome — it's a message worth decoding. This session invites women to trade the "overcome" mentality for a curiosity-first approach, exploring the real reasons behind depleted energy: inflammation, hormonal imbalance, under-fueling, and a body that's been asked to perform without being given what it needs to replenish. For many active women, the fatigue-food guilt cycle is itself a drain — restriction and overtraining create a loop that no amount of sleep can fix. Together, we'll look at how to actively meet your body where it is and build the kind of sustainable, topped-up energy that supports better output for the long haul.

The Other Side of Performance — Fueling Repair and Recovery
Time: 3pm-4pm
We track our pace, protect our PR's, and push our limits — but how intentional are we about what happens after the run? This session reframes recovery not as the absence of training, but as training itself. Drawing on sports medicine, cycle-aware nutrition, and mindful eating principles, we'll explore how women at every stage of life can build a recovery practice as strategic as their performance goals. That includes understanding how menstrual cycle phases shape fueling needs, how to protect against the under-eating patterns common in endurance athletes, and how the definition of performance itself evolves as we age — shifting toward strength, balance, and longevity alongside the finish line.

Meet our Speakers

Raechel Halbert

Raechel Halbert is the co-owner of Savannah Age Management Medicine — a regenerative medicine clinic recognized as Savannah's Best Hormone Clinic and Best Menopause Specialist. Her role at SAMM sits at the intersection of patient education, community outreach, and making complex medical science accessible to everyday women.

Raechel's path to regenerative medicine was a decade-long education. Her career began in brand marketing in Chicago before pivoting toward the frontier of functional and integrative health, where she led marketing for a national medical cannabis brand and worked alongside clinicians in low-dose naltrexone, therapeutic ketamine, and nutraceutical spaces. What she discovered in each of those worlds was the same gap: brilliant medicine, undereducated patients.
That gap is what drives her now. At SAMM, Raechel champions a new kind of health literacy — one that puts women in the driver's seat of their own data, their own symptoms, and their own care. She believes that too many women have been handed a diagnosis of normal when what they were really handed was a shrug, and she's on a mission to change that.
Her current focus includes raising public awareness around PCOS — a condition that doesn't expire at the end of a woman's reproductive years and is far more common, and far more complex, than most women are ever told.
Raechel serves as a liaison between the clinical world and the women it too often leaves behind — translating complex science into conversations that actually meet women where they are, and creating spaces where being curious about your own health isn't just encouraged, it's the whole point. Raechel's own fitness routine focuses on High Intensity Interval Training, blending strength with endurance and stability-maintaining exercise. She recently completed her first HYROX challenge back in her beloved town of Chicago!

Jayme Limbaugh

Jayme has earned her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science, Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, and Master of Science in Sports Medicine. Additionally, she is certified as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist, Registered Dietitian, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and Clinical Cancer Exercise Specialist. She specializes in nutrition for Bariatrics, pre and post menopause, sports nutrition and food aversions. When not working with clients, you can likely find Jayme running, knitting, gardening, or raising her two boys. She recently finished the second Dopey Challenge at Disney Marathon Weekend and her fourth marathon! If you’re lucky, you will spot her lifting to 90’s R&B with frequent dance breaks.

Danielle Southern

Danielle Southern, MS, RD, LD is a non-diet dietitian who helps runners and other adults who feel stuck in the cycle of dieting, food guilt, and body image frustration who want a more peaceful and sustainable relationship with food and movement.
Her career has largely been focused on eating disorders and disordered eating. Currently she is the owner of Southern Nutrition, a virtual private practice where she provides nutrition counseling and cooking demonstrations with a focus on mindful eating. She is also the co-host of the MentoRD Podcast, a career mentorship podcast for dietitians.
Danielle has been running since 2012 and founded Southern Running Collective in 2025 to increase inclusivity of middle and back of the pack runners. As a firm believer that runners who take longer to cover a distance deserve the same support as fast runners, the Collective connects runners to resources and race training cohorts in Georgia.
When she’s not talking about food and running, she’s traveling, reading, or trying new coffee shops.
