In this episode, Jerry talks about a few energy and protein bars he uses to get a quick boost of energy. It's important to store up energy before a workout, and then replenish the energy and protein you lose during a workout after you're done - enough, at least, until you can sit down to a full meal. Jerry runs through a few bars he uses during his pre and post-workout routines.

In the third and final installment of our "Transitions" series, we meet Gabriella. For Gabriella, transitioning from college to the career world had lots of similarities, particularly regarding the need for a disciplined compliance schedule.  Still, one fear lingered over her: what happens when I get sick? Gabriella's fears were realized twice, but she found herself more than pleasantly surprised by the support of her co-workers.

In this second part of a three-part series on transitions, we meet Ryan Randazzo. Like many kids his age, Ryan wanted to go out of state for college. But after weighing his options, he decided on the State University of New York at New Paltz, staying close to a CF center in case of an emergency. Ryan talks about the challenges of transitioning from high school to college, especially as it pertains to adjusting to a new schedule. He says some colleges will be flexible and accommodating to the needs of CF patients, but you should be sure to consult with your college about those options. Soon after getting to SUNY - New Paltz, Ryan was on his own, and very quickly learned the importance of maintaining your own schedule and having self-discipline when it comes to compliance. If you know you can go away to school with cystic fibrosis, he says, you can do anything in life.
