***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS November 19th, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In today's episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling examine a comprehensive 2025 meta-analysis revealing how combining exercise with intermittent fasting produces superior fat loss, waist reduction, and metabolic improvements compared to fasting alone. They challenge the "Biggest Loser" mentality of extreme workouts, instead advocating for sustainable movement strategies that complement your fasting lifestyle without requiring gym memberships or complicated routines. The hosts provide a practical beginner framework that starts with simple daily walks and bodyweight exercises, emphasizing that consistency and frequency matter more than intensity when building lasting habits. They explore how muscle cells serve as metabolic powerhouses for blood sugar management and fat burning, making movement essential for long-term weight maintenance and cardiovascular health. Whether you're currently sedentary or looking to optimize your existing fasting practice, this episode delivers actionable strategies to integrate movement into your routine and unlock the synergistic benefits of exercise combined with intermittent fasting. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Yes, you can lose weight by reducing calories whether through a calorie-cutting diet, bariatric procedure, or pharmaceutical. But the effect is almost always temporary and followed by a return of weight followed by significant downturn in health. You were also likely not advised that losing weight by cutting calories, we now know through tracking of large numbers of people over many years, likely abbreviates your life by several years. In this and future podcasts, I will be introducing concepts that block these effects, concepts that I shall be exploring in even greater depth in my new book, Super Body. **Disclaimer:**The information presented in my books, blog posts, YouTube videos, podcasts, and other content is for informational and educational purposes only.

In this episode, we're doing something special. We're rewinding the clock to one of the most powerful masterclass episodes I've ever recorded — and if you're serious about losing fat, feeling better, and performing at your best, this one is a must‑listen.You've probably heard “work harder” or “eat cleaner” a thousand times. But what if you're already grinding in the gym, watching what you eat, and still not seeing results? What if the real secret sauce for fat loss isn't another workout or another diet hack… but something you're probably neglecting every single night?That's exactly what we're diving into today. In this episode, we break down:Why lack of sleep sabotages your hormones, your hunger, and your ability to recover.How one simple change in your nightly routine can literally shift your body from storing fat to burning fat.The overlooked science shows that you can work out less and lose more if your sleep is dialed in.This isn't fluffy theory. It's backed by real studies and real stories — and it's exactly the kind of game‑changing info my clients use to unlock the progress they've been chasing.So if you've ever wondered why you're “doing everything right” but your results aren't showing up… buckle up. This episode is going to reframe the way you think about fat loss forever.Alright Dream Team — let's hit play on this throwback masterclass: “The importance of SLEEP on Your Fat Loss Goals.”Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog When I go to Fitness Edge, the place I have worked out with weights twice a week for 38 years, I know I am increasing my muscle mass and my metabolism for the next 72 hours…that's right, after just an hour of lifting weights, my body burns more calories over the next 3 days.  Lifting weights not only increases muscle mass, strength and is the key element in weight loss, because it raises resting metabolism throughout the day, even while you are sleeping. As long as I have been a physician, we always knew that exercise was important to health, but not until recently did medicine did not know WHY exercise is so important, and WHAT type of exercise is the most important to healthy aging. Recently the research has exploded with research that supports the metabolic truth that muscle mass, and resistance exercise (weight training, training with bands, calisthenics) is necessary for health and longevity! Even though this is a complicated science that is primarily addressed to professional athletes, there are several discoveries that everyone can understand and employ in their quest for a long and healthy life. Muscle Mass, Percent Body fat and Exercising Your total weight doesn't matter as much as your total muscle mass and percent body fat.  So, the amount of muscle you have compared to the amount of fat is the key to metabolic health. Muscle burns calories and decreases blood sugar, while fat is metabolically inactive.  However, the amount of muscle you have isn't as important as how often you use your muscles against gravity.  That is what weight training is: lifting weights against gravity, using barbells, free weights, resistance bands or Nautilus-type machines. Muscle Is the Major Site of Glucose uptake The more muscle you have, and the more you exercise them the more blood sugar is metabolized into energy. Your muscles soak up glucose from the blood for 120 minutes after weight training, and insulin sensitivity increases for 16 hours after exercise. Metabolic stimulation continues for 72 hours. Those people with less muscle who don't exercise use extra glucose to make fat. Body Composition is Improved with Weight Training Body composition can be measured with our InBody Machine.  We follow each of our patient's body composition instead of just getting a weight. We find that when measuring our patient's progress, the percent body fat inversely relates to their Basal Metabolic Rate.  In other words, the lower the body fat percentage, the higher the metabolic rate. The higher the body fat %, the lower the number of calories that patient burns at rest. For example, a woman with 40% body fat, depending on her height, burns about 1,100 calories over 24 hours when at rest.  If the same woman achieves the ideal percent body fat with medical dieting and achieves less than 26% body fat, she will increase her BMI to over 1,400 calories/ day at rest. Weight training alone will increase muscle mass and decrease fat with the outcome of increasing basal metabolic rate, so she will burn her calories instead of storing them as fat. In short, weight training to increase muscle mass will decrease body fat and improve metabolic health. Weight Training Can Reverse the Loss of Muscle that Comes with Aging The above statement is a tricky statement.  Women can exercise with weights their whole life and maintain a healthy body composition until they turn 45, then weight training just can't do the job without adding testosterone pellets.  It is the magic of testosterone pellets—Testosterone PLUS Weight Training increases and sustains muscle mass. “I have worked out with weights since my residency when I was 28 yo.  I realized that because I was 5-3 and 118 lbs, I would not be strong enough to do my job, delivering babies, operating and lifting patients on and off the table.  I began with a Nautilus circuit followed by 10 minutes on the treadmill 2-3 times a week. After I delivered my daughter, Rachel, I was 31 and I started training with a trainer because to get y body and strength back, I needed someone to make me accountable and to guide me to gaining strength where I needed it.  I have lifted weights 2-3 times a week ever since at my training facility, Fitness Edge, across the street from my current medical office. As of last week my body fat is 19%, and my weight is now 113.  I have shrunk a bit and am now 5-2. When I go to the Fitness Edge with my husband, John, I notice that many of the hardest working “fellow exercisers” never change their body composition. I would love to tell my fellow lifters that working out with weights is only part of the program to becoming strong and building good muscle mass.   The fact is they need to increase their testosterone level if they are over 40 for females and 50 for males, to improve their muscle mass and decrease body fat, and their hard work will be repaid with visible, stronger muscles, Fat loss and improved and metabolism.” Dr. Maupin's Formula for Building Muscle after age 40: Weight Training 2-3 times a week Testosterone Pellet treatment in women over 40 and men over 50 Diet must include the number of grams of protein equal to your weight Low carb high protein/healthy fat diet Eliminate food with preservatives, canned food and processed food. Eat whole/fresh foods. Supplement with Creatine (if your kidneys are healthy), Arginine, Vitamin D, E, K and Vitamin C, multi vitamin with Methyl B12 and Methyl Folate, Probiotics, Magnesium 400-800 mg/day, Protein powder without Soy. Water consumption in oz = to ½-1x your weight in pounds If I have convinced you to start using weights regularly, here are the variety of types of resistance training that will build muscle and improve metabolism. Must exercise for 50 minutes at one time per day. Resistance Band Work Outs- you can do anywhere even at home. Body weight exercises like squats, push-ups, lunges, planks Free weights using dumbbells, kettle balls, bars Weight Machines that target one muscle group at a time.   Now I Can Almost Hear Half of You Asking What About Aerobic Exercise? My best friend is a runner, and she has run marathons for decades, and now in her 60s, she is still fit and healthy without joint damage.  Most of her fellow runners don't know that she also lifts weights to keep her in the running game…and she takes testosterone pellets. Most runners are fit and have strong hearts, but their muscle mass is not always robust. Cardio-exercises can improve cardiovascular health and burn calories during the activity itself. Strength Training builds muscle mass which has a long-term effect on the metabolism.If nothing else, I hope you are inspired to initiate a resistance training program to benefit your metabolism now and for your longevity in the future.  YOU CAN DO IT!

A major scientific review looked at the best available evidence on apple cider vinegar (ACV) and its effects on body weight. Researchers combined the results from 9 different studies that included adults who were overweight, obese, or had type 2 diabetes.Here's what they found:• Taking ACV daily was linked to a significant drop in body weight, BMI, and waist size.• The authors calculated this could amount to an average weight loss of about 7.4 kg (over 16 pounds).• The most effective approach seemed to be taking about two tablespoons (30 mL) per day for up to 12 weeks.The main takeaway is that science suggests ACV may be a helpful tool for short-term weight management.Disclaimers:"This information is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as medical advice.""The study discussed is a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials conducted on adult humans who were overweight, obese, or had type 2 diabetes. The intervention periods in the included studies were relatively short, ranging from 4 to 12 weeks.""Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet, supplement regimen, or treatment plan, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medications.""This channel does not provide medical advice."#AppleCiderVinegar #WeightLoss #BodyComposition #MetaAnalysis #ObesityResearchSource Article Citation:Castagna, A.; Ferro, Y.; Noto, F.R.; et al.

@transformxrubyMany women often have specific concerns and fears when it comes to maintenance periods in their fitness journey. These concerns can be influenced by various factors, including societal pressures, personal experiences, and misconceptions. Here are some common fears that females may have regarding maintenance periods:Fear of Weight Gain: One of the most common fears is that taking a break from a calorie deficit will lead to significant weight gain. Women may worry that their hard-earned progress will be lost during a maintenance phase.Loss of Control: Some women fear that they'll lose control over their eating habits during maintenance and may struggle with overeating or emotional eating.Body Image Concerns: Maintenance periods can trigger body image concerns. Women might worry that they won't look as lean or fit during this phase, which can be emotionally challenging.Slower Progress: There's often a fear that taking a maintenance break will slow down their overall progress toward their fitness goals, especially if they're in a hurry to see results.Comparison to Others: Women may compare themselves to others who appear to stay in a perpetual state of dieting or weight loss, which can create pressure to do the same.Negative Feedback: Concerns about receiving negative feedback or criticism from peers or social circles can also play a role in these fears.Unrealistic Expectations: Unrealistic expectations about how quickly they should achieve their fitness goals can lead to fears about maintenance periods.the intense focus on the body in the realm of health and fitness can sometimes hold us back in various ways. Here are some of the ways this singular focus can be limiting:Self-Worth Tied to Appearance: When our self-worth becomes closely tied to our physical appearance, it can lead to low self-esteem and body dissatisfaction. This can be emotionally taxing and hinder personal growth.Extreme Dieting and Exercise: The desire for a certain body image can drive people to extreme dieting and exercise routines that may not be sustainable or healthy in the long term. This can lead to burnout and health issues.Comparison and Competition: Constant comparison to others and striving to meet societal beauty standards can create a sense of competition and jealousy rather than collaboration and support within the fitness community.Neglecting Overall Well-being: An obsession with the body can cause people to neglect other aspects of their well-being, such as mental health, emotional balance, and social connections.Yo-Yo Dieting: The pursuit of a particular body often leads to yo-yo dieting, where individuals go through cycles of weight loss and regain, which can have negative effects on metabolism and overall health.Exclusion and Inclusivity: It can sometimes lead to exclusivity within fitness communities, making some individuals feel unwelcome or inadequate if they don't fit a certain mold.Overemphasis on Quick Fixes: The desire for rapid body transformations can lead to the overuse of supplements, extreme diets, and even unhealthy practices like crash dieting or excessive use of weight loss pills.To overcome these limitations, it's crucial to shift the focus in health and fitness towards holistic well-being. This means considering not only physical health but also mental, emotional, and social well-being. Encouraging self-acceptance, body positivity, and setting realistic, sustainable goals can promote a healthier and more balanced approach to fitness. Remember that the ultimate goal should be overall health and happiness, not just a specific body shape or size.

Join Patreon for a bonus episode where I share more details about my journey here.Forget tracking your food, I dropped 55 pounds postpartum by focusing on the basics.Instead of obsessing over the scale, I treated weight gain and loss as signals, clues about stress, thyroid health, circadian rhythm, and whether my body was fueled for energy and milk supply. Two pregnancies taught me that workouts, light exposure, and small daily practices matter far more than numbers. The biggest shift wasn't physical, it was staying grounded, cutting the obsession, and focusing on being the mom and woman I wanted to be.You'll Learn:Why weight gain or loss is just a symptom, not a verdict on your healthThe basic things to focus on that will support your body in being healthy and losing excess weightThe link between circadian rhythm, light exposure, and thyroid healthWhat snacking all day can do to your blood sugarThe damage of constant stress on milk supply, cycles, and body compositionPractical nutrition adjustments that supported milk supply during pregnancy and postpartumTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[03:32] Seeing weight as a symptom and not a measure of worth[06:41] Entering the first pregnancy with a soft mindset and focusing on health over the scale[17:13] Focusing on circadian rhythm and light exposure to support thyroid and blood sugar health[24:48] Switching to kettlebell training and discovering its impact on strength, stress, and postpartum fitness[34:16] Struggling with childcare decisions and choosing to make working from home with kids the only option[37:53] Balancing postpartum stress, nutrition, and slow sustainable weight loss while prioritizing motherhood and healthResources Mentioned:Mama Stay Fit Training | WebsiteKettlebell Program by Adina Rubin | WebsiteHormone Healing RD Podcast episode with Carrie Bennett | PodcastMother Wildflowers Course | WebsiteThe Feminine Periodical Newsletter | WebsiteFind more from Amanda:Hormone Healing RD | InstagramHormone Healing RD | WebsiteHormone Healing RD | FacebookHormone Healing RD | YouTubeHormone Healing RD | TikTok

In Episode 124 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, I'm joined by sports dietitian and multi-sport athlete, Alex Larson, RD LD, to explore two important topics: triathlon nutrition and body composition for endurance athletes. We dive into questions like what makes fueling for triathlon uniquely challenging, and whether or not endurance athletes should directly work on body composition goals during a training cycle (or, ever). Key timestamps:8:53: Triathlon nutrition34:20: Body composition and endurance trainingAlex and I discuss:How fueling strategies differ across swimming, cycling, and runningCommon nutrition mistakes triathletes makeHow to build a solid pre-race meal, why fueling on the bike should be a “mobile buffet," and other race-day logisticsTroubleshooting fueling and other challenges during long-course triathlonsWhether or not endurance athletes should pursue body comp goals during training (Alex has a slightly different take on this one)Which types of athletes should not be working on body comp changes Why a performance and health-first approach should guide nutrition decisionsHeads up – we talk a lot about body comp for athletes in this episode, and it is a very nuanced topic. While "getting leaner" is a common goal for many active people, I want to be clear: your health, performance, and worth do NOT depend on you being "lean," however you define that. It's okay to want to change your body composition, and for some athletes, this can be done safely in certain situations. It's also okay (and for some athletes, very necessary) to NOT chase body comp goals, ever. So please take care of yourself, and remember - your body is meant to change over time.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons welcomes Dr. Ashley Lucas, a former professional ballerina turned PhD nutritionist and founder of PhD Weight Loss. Dr. Lucas shares her remarkable journey from struggling with under-eating and injury in the ballet world to helping over 11,000 people lose nearly 500,000 pounds by addressing the real root of weight issues: metabolic health.Together, Dr. Jenn and Dr. Ashley expose the myths of “eat less, move more,” unpack the dangers of visceral fat, and explain why true, lasting weight loss is more about hormones and mindset than willpower. They also dive into hot topics like GLP-1 weight loss drugs, protein and macro balance, over-exercise, sleep, and the misunderstood role of fat in our diets.Whether you've battled weight loss plateaus, wondered why BMI is misleading, or want to protect your long-term metabolic health, this conversation offers a science-backed roadmap for sustainable change.In This Episode, You Will Learn:How Dr. Ashley's ballet career and health collapse led her to study metabolismWhy “eat less, move more” fails most peopleThe unique dangers of visceral (belly) fat and how it drives diseaseWhy GLP-1 drugs may create more problems than they solveHow protein, fat, and carb balance impacts weight loss and metabolic healthWhy BMI is outdated—and better tools for measuring healthThe role of sleep, stress, and mindset in weight managementWhy over-exercising can sabotage fat lossPractical steps to reset metabolism and protect muscle mass

This episode breaks down groundbreaking research on hyper-caloric 16:8 time-restricted eating during 8 weeks of resistance training, proving you can build muscle and get stronger while maintaining an intermittent fasting lifestyle. Dr. Scott and Tommy analyze a study comparing fasted vs fed workout groups, revealing that the time-restricted eating group gained 50% more muscle mass (2.67kg vs 1.82kg) while gaining significantly less fat (0.26kg vs 1.67kg) even in a caloric surplus. Discover why fasted training leads to superior body composition changes - more muscle growth with minimal fat gain - making it ideal for physique-focused goals and maintenance phases. Learn the trade-offs: while the fed group showed slightly better strength gains (particularly in squat performance), the fasted group achieved the same total weight lifted with fewer reps, suggesting greater training efficiency. The hosts explain why this matters for long-term fasting lifestyle success, especially for those reaching maintenance goals who want to continue improving body composition without regaining weight. Get practical strategies for timing workouts with eating windows, understanding the adaptation period for fasted training, and choosing between performance-focused vs body composition-focused approaches. This episode provides evidence-based guidance for combining resistance training with intermittent fasting, showing that you don't have to sacrifice muscle building for fat loss - you can optimize both simultaneously with proper timing and nutrition strategies. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

If I could go back and start my fitness journey all over again? I'd do a lot less spinning my wheels, and a lot more of what actually works.In this Q&A episode, I'm breaking down exactly what I'd do differently if I were starting from scratch today. No fake motivation. No shiny routines. Just the five shifts that would've saved me years of burnout, frustration, and wasted energy.We're talking about why lifting weights (intentionally, not endlessly) would be my day one move, why soreness and sweat mean less than you think, and how protein and walking changed everything for me, but not in the way Instagram makes it seem.I'm also getting into the habits I used to skip that now feel non-negotiable and why I wish I'd stopped treating under-eating like a flex.If you're in your start-over era, or just tired of doing the most and feeling the least, this one's for you.What's Discussed:  (00:00) If I could start my fitness journey over…(05:08) Why strength training would be my day one(08:03) The truth about soreness and sweat(13:56) How under-eating held me back(17:33) Walking for recovery, not just rings(20:11) The warm-up I used to skip (and now swear by)(24:14) You don't need more, you need the right thingsThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads: Ready to ditch the BS and start feeling strong in your body?

In this episode of the Bacon, Bibles, and Barbells Podcast, some of the High Calling Fitness coaches Justin, Amanda, and Emily cover WHY WE DON'T DO CROSSFIT. People ask us this frequently. "I'm doing CrossFit, isn't that enough?" We talk through why we think CrossFit is not the ideal method for most people. We are thankful to CrossFit for popularizing lifting and barbells and handing that to the culture at large. Strength Training is more popular than ever before, largely due to their influence. We talk about the expense, the culture, the injury risk, the burnout, and the sustainability (or lack there-of) of the CrossFit way. There are several reasons why we just don't recommend it for anyone trying to make a sustainable lifestyle change, especially if you are over 30! Most people benefit WAY more from a personalized approach, aimed at muscle mass and overall health for the long run. Give it a listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!

For the longest time, endurance athletes avoided the weight room, afraid unwanted muscles would weigh them down, while strength athletes all but kicked cardio to the curb. Now we know that no matter if you're running an ultra or competing in a CrossFit competition, the right blend of cardio and strength is the secret sauce for success–especially once you hit midlife and menopause. This week, renowned exercise physiologist Dr. Alyssa Olenick dives in on how our hormones impact our muscles, metabolism, and general physiology, and how the right blend of hybrid training can help you stay strong, fit, healthy, and injury free during and beyond the menopause transition.This episode originally dropped on January 8, 2025. Dr. Alyssa Olenick holds a PhD in exercise physiology and is a certified sports nutritionist and CrossFit Level 2 Trainer. Alyssa completed her doctoral training in exercise and human metabolism, sex differences, and menstrual cycle physiology. She also completed a postdoctoral research fellow investigating the areas of menopause and metabolism. As a coach she specializes in the areas of endurance, strength, and hybrid training. She runs her online business ‘Doc Lyss Fitness' and training programs ‘The Lyss Method'. She is also a strength athlete, ultra-marathon runner, and all-around fitness lover who is passionate about educating people on science-based fitness to get them into the gyms and on the roads/trails — or often, doing both at the same time!

On episode 706 of the 40+ Fitness, we're diving deep into the world of GLP-1 agonist medications—those buzzy drugs you've likely seen in the headlines helping people tackle obesity and type 2 diabetes. Joining Coach Allan is David Knapp, a leading voice in the GLP-1 community and author of Decoding GLP1: A Guide for Friends and Family of Those on the Pen. David opens up about his own weight loss journey, struggles with type 2 diabetes, and why traditional "eat less, move more" advice often isn't enough. He demystifies the science behind GLP-1 medications, shares the fascinating history of their development (think lizard venom, not snake oils!), and breaks down the latest options and future innovations in this rapidly evolving space. Whether you're considering these medications, supporting a loved one who is, or just curious about the hype, this episode will give you clear, compassionate, and evidence-backed insights. Plus, you'll hear candid discussions about stigma, navigating the world of compounded versus branded medications, and practical advice on achieving lasting wellness—no matter where you're starting from.
