In this episode, we dive into the essentials of nutrition for fitness, breaking down how to eat based on your specific goals—whether that's fat loss, muscle gain, athletic performance, or simply maintaining overall health. We cover the importance of aligning your nutrition with your training, emphasizing that fat loss requires a calorie deficit with high protein intake, while muscle gain demands a slight calorie surplus with adequate protein and carbs. For endurance athletes, proper fueling and recovery are key, and for general health, focusing on whole foods and balanced macronutrients is crucial. We also discuss how metabolic health, hormone balance, and inflammation play a role in optimizing your body's performance. Ultimately, sustainable habits—not extreme diets—lead to long-term success!Key Topics:Understanding Your Fitness Goal – Aligning nutrition with fat loss, muscle gain, performance, or general health.Fat Loss Nutrition – Sustainable calorie deficit, high protein intake, and metabolic adaptation considerations.Muscle Gain Nutrition – Caloric surplus, protein for muscle repair, and carbohydrate support for training.Athletic Performance Nutrition – Carbs as primary fuel, hydration and electrolytes, and recovery nutrition.General Health & Maintenance – Whole foods focus, balanced macronutrients, and reducing processed foods.Metabolic & Hormonal Health – Supporting thyroid function, hormone balance, and reducing inflammation.Liver Function & Detoxification – Liver's role in metabolism and strategies to optimize detoxification.Blood Sugar & Insulin Resistance – Pairing carbs with protein, choosing low-glycemic foods, and meal timing.Sustainable Eating Habits – Prioritizing long-term flexibility over restrictive dieting.Pre- and Post-Workout Nutrition – Fueling workouts with proper macronutrients for energy and recovery.Practical Strategies – Meal timing, structuring balanced meals, and small, sustainable lifestyle tweaks.For next level fat loss strategies, hormone/gut health help, serious performance goals and unparalleled support, apply for Mountain Metabolic coaching.

In this episode, we take a critical look at High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and whether it truly lives up to the hype as the "ultimate fat-loss tool". While HIIT has gained massive popularity for its quick, calorie-burning potential, recent research suggests it may not be the most effective or sustainable method for long-term fat loss—especially for women.We explore eight key considerations:Calories In vs. Calories Out – While HIIT burns a lot of calories quickly, steady-state cardio may actually lead to greater overall energy expenditure without elevating hunger hormones.Muscle Mass Impact – Too much HIIT can be catabolic, leading to muscle breakdown, which is counterproductive for maintaining a high metabolic rate.Sustainability & Adherence – HIIT is intense, and many people struggle to maintain it long-term, making consistency a challenge.Recovery & Overtraining – Excessive HIIT can lead to burnout, increased injury risk, and slower fat loss due to overtraining.Nutrition's Role – No workout can out-exercise a poor diet; fat loss is primarily driven by maintaining a calorie deficit through proper nutrition.Cortisol & Stress Impact – Chronic stress and elevated cortisol from too much HIIT can lead to fat storage, hormone imbalances, and metabolic disruption.Hormonal Considerations – Women's bodies respond differently to intense exercise, and too much HIIT can negatively impact the menstrual cycle, fertility, thyroid function, and overall hormone balance.For next level fat loss strategies, hormone/gut health help, serious performance goals and unparalleled support, apply for Mountain Metabolic coaching.
