Today's episode is a MUST listen.
You will learn the surprising science of women’s exercise and nutrition, the mistakes you’re making, and the simple changes that lead to better health and longevity.
For way too long, fitness and nutrition have been based on research done almost exclusively on men, and the women who have been following those strategies are left wondering why the fitness and nutrition guidelines don’t work for their bodies.
That changes today. In this firecracker of an episode, Mel sits down with Dr. Stacy Sims, a world-renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, to break down exactly how you, as a woman, should be eating, training, and recovering for your hormones, metabolism, and overall health.
Dr. Sims reveals why traditional fitness advice is failing women.
She talks about how intermittent fasting drains your energy and why your workouts leave you exhausted instead of strong.
She explains why fasted workouts, calorie restriction, and extreme cardio can actually make it harder to lose weight and what you should be doing instead to build muscle, burn fat, and feel amazing at every stage of life.
Ever wonder why men seem to drop weight faster than you? Or why your workouts feel great one week and awful the next? There’s a reason for that.
Dr. Sims will tell you, it’s all in your hormones.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
-Why women should NEVER train like men (and what to do instead)
-The #1 mistake you’re making in the gym—and how to fix it
-The truth about fasted workouts (spoiler: they might be wrecking your metabolism)
-Why eating too little could be making you gain fat—not lose it
-How to work with your cycle for better energy, results, and recovery
-What every woman needs to know about perimenopause and menopause training
If you’ve ever felt like your diet and workout plan isn’t working, this episode will change the way you approach fitness and nutrition forever.
