Learn why you can be "burning fat" during workouts while not losing body fat.Today I break down the difference between fat oxidation (using fat for fuel) and fat loss (reducing stored body fat) that most people misunderstand.You'll discover how the Randle Cycle affects metabolism, why fasted cardio isn't the magic bullet you've been told, and what really determines whether your body sheds fat... regardless of what fuel you're burning in the moment.We clear up some misunderstandings about low-carb diets (keto and carnivore), being fat adapted, and what's actually most important for fat loss.Main Takeaways:Fat oxidation (burning fat for fuel) and fat loss (reducing stored body fat) are completely different physiological processesThe Randle Cycle explains why carbs temporarily suppress fat burning, but this doesn't make low-carb diets superiorLow-carb diets increase fat oxidation but don't produce better fat loss results when calories and protein are equated (in fact, sometimes the opposite is true)For successful fat loss, focus on what directly influences body compositionAdopting an engineering mindset means optimizing for outcomes (fat loss) rather than processes (fat oxidation)Timestamps:0:01 - Why burning fat doesn't always mean losing fat 3:14 - Fat oxidation vs. fat loss 5:09 - The Randle Cycle and fuel selection (glucose vs. fatty acids) 9:36 - Low-carb diets and fat loss 13:42 - Any benefits of fasted cardio (beyond fat burning)? 15:04 - What actually determines fat loss 16:25 - Optimize for outcomes, not processes 17:55 - What you measure vs. what matters = more freedomSupport the show

In today's episode, I had the chance to speak to muscle physiology researcher and science communicator Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple. Together, we unpack the common claims around hormones and training—from whether you should change your workouts based on your cycle, to the real effects of fasted cardio and birth control on performance and muscle growth. We also explore how menopause affects body composition, what the science actually supports when it comes to training differences between men and women, and why some of the most persistent myths about women's physiology are based more on assumption than evidence.What You'll Learn:Why women's physiology is not a limitation for building muscleWhether training around your menstrual cycle or avoiding fasted workouts is necessaryThe truth about oral contraceptives and their impact on performance, hypertrophy, and strengthHow menopause affects body composition—and what you can do about itWhy consistency and progressive overload matter more than hormone fluctuationsHow much protein and resistance training women actually need—and when to eat itThis conversation is for every woman who's been told her physiology is too complicated to train effectively. It's not. The science is finally catching up—and Lauren is helping lead the charge.This episode is brought to you by: Puori – Get 20% off with code DRLYON - https://puori.com/DRLYONCozy Earth – Use code DRLYON for up to 40% off - https://cozyearth.comBONCHARGE – Get 15% off with code DRLYON - https://boncharge.com/DRLYONOneSkin – Get 15% off with code DRLYON - https://oneskin.comFind Dr. Colenso-Semple at: Instagram - @drlaurencs1LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurencolensosemple/ X/Twitter - @drlaurencs1Find me at: Instagram:@drgabriellelyon TikTok: @drgabriellelyonFacebook: facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyonYouTube: youtube.com/@DrGabrielleLyonX (Twitter): x.com/drgabriellelyonApply to become a patient – https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/Join my weekly newsletter – https://institute-for-muscle-centric-medicine.ck.pageGet my book – https://drgabriellelyon.com/forever-strong/Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction to the episode and what it covers: hormones, menstrual cycles, birth control, and muscle growth.01:00:29 – Training volume and progressive overload: what actually matters for hypertrophy.01:02:51 – Fasted training and cortisol: where the

In this myth-busting episode of The Optimal Protein Podcast, host Vanessa Spina is joined once again by Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple — one of the most trusted voices in evidence-based women's health and strength training. Social media is overflowing with advice on what women should and shouldn't do when it comes to building muscle, managing hormones, and training across the menstrual cycle. But how much of it is actually backed by science? Dr. Lauren joins us to expose the truth behind the most persistent myths: from fasted workouts and estrogen “catabolism” to whether you need to sync your training with your cycle. Whether you're navigating menopause, using hormonal contraceptives, or just trying to get stronger and leaner — this conversation is packed with clarity and empowerment.
Morning runners will skip a pre-run snack for many reasons: gut comfort, time constraints, or the belief that running fasted will make them faster. For years, fasted running was trendy and even recommended. However, science and training theory evolve, and so we're here to tell you in 2025: fed is fastest, and that includes during training. We address some common misconceptions around fasted running. Does fasted cardio make you a better fat burner - and does that even matter for running performance? Are there any downsides to running without carbs in the tank? We dive into the research around fasted running and make practical recommendations. Whether you are running for health or marathon training, you will want to listen to this episode! In this episode, you will learn:Understanding reasons why runners train fastedThe research behind why fasted running may be holding you backQuick and easy-on-the-stomach pre-run snacksIs it okay to skip fuel for an easy run?Does eating before a run affect training adaptations?How to train your gut to tolerate pre-run eatingIf you enjoyed this episode, you may also like: Hybrid Training as Health Training wiht Dr. Alyssa Olenick (82)Is Sugar Bad for Runners?

Episode 25:9 The REAL Reason Why Jesus Fasted… And You Should Too! Fasting, especially when done for more than 3 days, is good for your health. For example, many people with High Blood Pressure and/or Type 2 Diabetes oftentimes experience dramatic improvement and, at times, a complete HEALING after Fasting. In addition, tumors, skin lesions, joint pains, and brain fog often disappear from a prolonged Fast. Not to mention improved hormone function, decreased autoimmune symptoms and increased energy levels. However, these health benefits… amazing as they are… are NOT the reason why Jesus Fasted. Nor are they the reason why He wants us to Fast. There's another reason. A more powerful reason. A reason I discuss on this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast. Be sure to give this episode a good listen as it will unlock a powerful Biblical principle regarding health and healing. A principle you're NOT going to hear anywhere else.

We bought stock in baking soda before this record-breaking episode! It was a "No Secrets" Q+A, where we lay it all on the line. This one was so fun!The first big question was on the deluge of world records set in the last week. Our theory is that compound gains are being harnessed from nutrition, supplements, and shoes that are changing how athletes can train and adapt across all endurance sports. We break down the shifts in training theory, and predict what comes next.Next was a question about Kilian Jornet's fasted workout and the theory behind it (and why we don't recommend it). One fascinating wrinkle is how he took high-dose probiotics before the session. We use that as an excuse to dive into the wild world of probiotics science, where research breakthroughs are happening all the time. Other Q+A topics: health v. performance, roads v. trails, encouraging a partner to fuel more, heart rate zones, visualization, zone 2 training, and more!We love you all!

We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo Visions Daniel 7-9 A. The Vision of the 4 GREAT BEASTS: 1. There is a COMMON THEME with all apocalyptic writing: · God's people are in CAPTIVITY. · The RULERS are EVIL. · God is in CONTROL. · He will DELIVER US. · God will CRUSH our ENEMIES. 2. Common symbols in apocalyptical writing: · Water was always associated with EVIL. · HYBRID animals were repulsive- remember Lev. 19:19 · Clean and nonclean animals were determined if they were NORMAL to their ENVIRONMENT. · Any animal that took on HUMAN attributes (like STANDING) would be alarming. B. The vision of the RAM and GOAT. · This happened in BELSHAZZAR'S 3rd year. Several years before it Babylon's defeat. · Persia (Iran) and Medes (Kurds) were not POWERFUL NATIONS when Daniel saw the vision. C. Daniel's RESPONSE to these two visions is PRAYER. 1. There was URGENCY in his praying. · First he FASTED - withholding FOOD to PRIORITIZE something else. · SACKCLOTH – a rough material that would IRRITATE the skin, represented the marks of REPENTANCE. · ASHES - symbolize COMPLETE RUIN - Spiritual BANKRUPTCY. 2. Parts of his prayer: · The prayer of CONFESSION. 4-14 · The prayer of RESTORATION & PETITION. 15-18 · The prayer of REPENTANCE. Vs.19

Ever feel like you've hit a wall and can't figure out why your motivation has disappeared? Here's the thing: losing motivation isn't your fault. Motivation isn't some steady, unshakable thing. It changes as we go through life, just like we do. What lit you up in your 20s and 30s might not feel right now, and that's okay. Life throws us curveballs—work, family, caregiving—and sometimes it feels like there's no room left for you. Add in sneaky traps like comparing yourself to others (or your younger self), trying to do everything at once, or waiting for the “perfect” moment, and it's no wonder we feel stuck. But here's the thing: losing motivation isn't failure—it's growth in disguise. In this episode, I'm breaking down why motivation fades, how to stop beating yourself up over it, and what you can do to feel excited again. Spoiler: it doesn't involve drastic changes or all-or-nothing thinking. This episode is for you if you're ready to ditch the guilt and rediscover your spark. Let's talk about what really matters and how small, meaningful steps can make a big difference.

Angela is joined by fitness guru Vince Sant, to talk about the complexities of women's fitness, particularly as they approach perimenopause and beyond. The discussion emphasises the importance of resistance training, clarifying the benefits of lifting heavier weights versus higher repetition ranges for body composition and muscle definition KEY TAKEAWAYS Muscle vs. Fat: Muscle is denser than fat, so building muscle while burning fat results in a leaner, toned appearance. Optimal Rep Ranges: For strength, use low reps (5x5). For body composition, prioritize 8-15 reps to maximize muscle fiber engagement and metabolism. Intensity Matters: Challenge muscles during workouts for better results. Proper effort is crucial, regardless of weight range. Debunking Myths: Women won’t “bulk up” by lifting heavier weights due to hormonal differences. Resistance training builds lean muscle and boosts metabolism. Fasted vs. Pre-Fueled Training: The best approach depends on your schedule and personal preference. Consistency and enjoyment are key for long-term adherence. Progress is Nonlinear: Everyone has off days. The focus should be on discipline and maintaining habits, even when motivation wanes.

Coach Charlotte is back and this week she sits down to discuss why you SHOULDN'T—under any circumstance—be training fasted. Hot take? Stay with us. Despite its popularity, she makes a compelling case for why training on an empty stomach may actually be doing more harm than good. Training fasted inhibits muscle growth and there is actually data showing that this can lead to dropping lean mass first when in a caloric deficit. In this episode, Charlotte breaks down the advantages of fueling your workouts with a pre-workout meal and shares practical strategies to make it work even when training early in the morning. Your meal doesn't have to be extravagant, it just needs to be enough to fuel your session. As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought.

If you workout as a woman, I'm sure you've wondered this exact thing! I get asked on a weekly basis from my clients and followers if we should workout FASTED (without a pre-workout meal) as women. There is LOTS of confusing information out there on this subject, and I pray this doesn't confuse you more! But more than ANYTHING, I want you to hear the truth that this is an INDIVIDUAL case by case basis. Prolonged periods of intense workouts without food CAN damage your hormone and your health and lead to fat gain. But periodic and healthy cardio exercise in a fasted state is NOT damaging to most women. Here my FULL thoughts and the science behind my thoughts in this episode.

In this hilarious and informative episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast (formerly The Key Nutrition Podcast), cohost Craig Smith and I take a trip down memory lane to revisit all the ridiculous things we used to believe and do in the name of health and fitness. From waking up in the middle of the night to slam a protein shake to believing in the mythical anabolic window, we share our missteps, lessons learned, and some good laughs along the way. Other highlights include: The infamous velocity diet. Avoiding carbs at night because “science.” Overcomplicating the simple stuff. Believing the more supplements, the better. We share these stories not just to entertain, but to help you avoid the same traps we fell into. If you're looking to simplify your health and fitness journey while having a good laugh, this is the episode for you.
In this first episode of 2025, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down the powerful combination of fasting and exercise for optimal health outcomes.

Angela presents a special compilation episode, dedicated to exploring the critical role of skeletal muscle health, mastering fat loss, metabolism and blood sugar in optimising longevity and metabolic resilience. Featuring insights from experts Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart, Danielle Hamilton and Barielle Lyon, the discussion covers the science behind metabolic flexibility, reverse dieting, and the common pitfalls of traditional fat loss approaches. Hear practical strategies for maintaining a healthy metabolism, especially after the holiday season, and how to navigate indulgences without sacrificing your health goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Muscle is the key to longevity: Skeletal muscle is essential for metabolic health, resilience, and optimal aging. Protein intake is critical: Aim for 1g of protein per pound of ideal body weight to support muscle and overall health. Avoid common fat loss mistakes: Calorie-cutting without strategy can harm metabolism; focus on building muscle and metabolic flexibility instead. Reverse dieting prevents weight regain: Gradually increasing calories after weight loss helps maintain results. Circadian rhythms impact glucose control: Morning light exposure and meal timing are crucial for balancing blood sugar. Fasted training considerations: While it works for some, post-training refueling is key for muscle maintenance, especially in older adults. Perimenopause requires a tailored approach: Resistance training and protein intake are pivotal for managing body composition changes.

Health is our only true wealth on earth. In this message, Pastor Lewis teaches us how to live a fasted lifestyle. Support This Ministry
Our stance: Flipping 50 believes each woman is unique. That said, we favor fed exercise over fasted exercise when it is intense. That is, high intensity interval training, or strength training with the intent of preserving lean muscle mass and avoiding frailty or fragility occur within the eating window and ideally bookended by protein consumption if for muscle or bone mass. We do acknowledge that exercise may “feel hard” when exercise is performed fasted giving the perception of “working hard.” However, we suggest based on research and 4 decades of primary observation, women actually exercise harder related to their capacity for exercise when fueled. That is, they will go faster if being timed, go further within a timed test, lift more weight or perform more reps to muscular fatigue. Fasted Exercise Pros and Cons During Perimenopause A 27% muscle loss has been reported between early and late stage perimenopause. This is most likely due to multifactors: insomnia disrupting anabolic hormones and together with other signs and symptoms of menopause interfering with desire to workout, as well as a drop in estrogen, testosterone and growth hormone levels, and an increase in cortisol levels. This is an important consideration when looking at fat loss vs lean muscle gain and priorities. Mitigating potential loss of muscle is a critical factor in aging well and overall metabolic health. What Science Says Some studies (review of literature) suggest that before prolonged exercise, fueling provides more benefit but before short exercise, results are inconclusive. A 2013 study on sumo wrestlers eating a ultra high calorie, 50% fat diet burned more fat after exercise done fasted. However, we've got to consider…. How like you are that? Extremely high calorie and 50% fat? In almost the same time frame, college women were fed vs fasted in exercise and showed no difference. Their diets probably reflected at least a little closer to yours and their hormone profiles also at least slightly more like you. The problem is, few studies about fasting and exercise exist on midlife or postmenopausal women. Women who are at risk for accelerated muscle and strength losses. In studies for the last 10 years, fasted vs fed with the same hypocaloric diet there was no difference in increased fat loss due to fasted vs fed. I hear comments from women who believe they are burning fat for fuel when they've fat-adapted, however, without measuring this, we don't know it to be true. The crossover is only visible when you're measuring in a lab. It would mean that at the same speed and intensity previously (watts) you were burning fat vs carbs for fuel. We can see that in clinical lab testing during progressive exercise testing using stages. Your cardiovascular fitness level may also improve meaning for the same speed your heart rate isn't as elevated. That's another way to hypothesize you're burning more fat for fuel at higher levels. I want to remind you that at a certain point we all cross over. If you're “working hard” in high intensity interval training you are NOT burning fat during. You're burning a lower percent of fat for fuel during. Because you're burning calories - that is your energy expenditure is higher - you are still burning more fat. Your goal is not to burn a high percent of fat for fuel during.. Or you're doing that best at rest. The data is not there to support higher fat burning during HIIT fasted. It's not there to support higher fat burning after HIIT if fasted. What seems most important is a hypocaloric diet, performing optimal exercise intensity for energy expenditure. And resistance training improves post workout FFA circulation most compared to HIIT. To support anabolic response to strength training, especially for women when more prone to anabolic resistance, fed exercise makes the most sense. Fasted Exercise Pros and Cons with Obese Women For women who can't seem to lose fat weight, and are in good adrenal health, after employing a foundation of high protein, 3 meals no snacks, fasting at least 12 hours overnight, extending the fast and testing can help shake a plateau. The approach needs to be unique to individual needs and goals to lose fat weight and gain lean muscle mass. It may need to be addressed step by step to first improve metabolic health (blood lipids, blood pressure, insulin, glucose), with close observations on skeletal muscle to determine success. For other women though, recomposition is best addressed by focus on gaining lean muscle mass and not slowing progress. We do know strength can be gained during fasting, at least in the beginning. Muscle mass doesn't improve during fasted exercise. Again, important to remember, the research featuring women in menopause and post, with anabolic resistance is minimal. Anabolic resistance is the resistance to gaining lean muscle mass. Basically, the older we get the more you have to work for it. So, if you focus on losing fat, you may also lose lean muscle if you're doing it by fasting. Like many things including exercise, the solution may be cycling fasting duration with alternating periods of time (weeks/months) with primary focus on muscle gains vs fat loss. But the one constant should be monitoring your personal results. Is your lean muscle mass going up or down? Is your body fat going up or down? Is your gut health/digestion/elimination improving? To Unpack Your Personal Fasted Exercise Pros and Cons, Prioritize Prioritize goals: Longevity (autophagy) Avoidance of frailty, fragility Improvement of balance and stability Increase in bone density Gut health Emotional eating/relationship with food Consuming inadequate fuel can make women store more fat. It may depend on whether you are in perimenopause vs postmenopause. According to Stacy Sims, it's the hypothalamus related to the kisspeptin hormone. Thyroid hormone gets down-regulated within a short period of a few days. You feel like you're exercising “hard.” But you're not necessarily exercising to your capacity. You're simply struggling. It's not the same as a quality intensity workout. If you're more athletic, you want to do more endurance or more peak performance, the more you have low calories while taxing your system. Increasing protein without changing anything, even without exercise, body fat loss will be facilitated within 3 months. For women who struggle with dieting or a history restrictive eating or binge-purging, using a time restricted eating window can be complicated by the desire to also restrict calories. The low fuel intake means low micronutrient intake. Frequent testing would be extremely beneficial for women who also ideally will monitor their skeletal muscle mass, body fat percent and blood glucose levels on a daily/weekly basis. For extremely active women, fasted exercise reflects poorer performance: Slower walking pace Lower endurance Longer recovery periods Less muscle mass gains Less fat loss (compared to fed exercise at higher intensity) Resources: Smart Scales: https://www.amazon.com/shop/flipping50/list/GFTU3QXMJ07G?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfflipping50_7CD0CBB5VP0Q08ZGZ7JF Dr. Mindy Pelz: https://www.youtube.com/@DrMindyPelz 5 Day Flip: https://www.flippingfifty.com/5-day-challenge-new/ References: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29315892/#:~:text=Fasted exercise increased post-exercise,mitochondrial adaptation and substrate utilization. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0301369 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4242477/ Other Episodes You Might Like: How to Pair Intermittent Fasting and Exercise After 40: https://www.flippingfifty.com/intermittent-fasting-and-exercise/ How Emotional Eating Can Be the Hidden Reason for Weight Gain: https://www.flippingfifty.com/reason-for-weight-gain/ End Diets, Food Rules, and Emotional Eating: https://www.flippingfifty.com/freedom/

In this episode, you'll get to explore how you can reap the benefits of fasting (without actually having to fast), thanks to Dr. Chris Rhodes and his groundbreaking supplement, Mimio. If you're dealing with low energy, sluggish metabolism, or premature aging, Dr. Rhodes explains how Mimio mimics the effects of fasting to boost cellular health and longevity. You'll get to discover how this innovative approach can address common health issues, enhance your well-being, and help optimize your body and mind (without dealing with some of the less-than-favorable side effects of fasting, such as irritability, headaches, fatigue, and hunger pangs). Dr. Chris Rhodes received his Ph.D. in nutritional biochemistry from UC Davis and is an expert on human fasting as a health and longevity intervention. Over the course of his research, he and his team comprehensively mapped the biochemical changes that happen in the human body during prolonged periods of fasting. Dr. Rhodes discovered that the body produces multiple unique bioactive metabolites during a 36-hour fast, and when these metabolites are given as a supplement, they could recreate the cellular health and longevity benefits of fasting, including extending lifespan in model organisms by 96%. Dr. Rhodes is now the founder and CEO of Mimio Health a nutri-technology company creating first-of-their-kind biomimetic supplements designed from human biology to recreate the body's natural regenerative states. Mimio Health's first product, Mimio, is a fasting mimetic designed from over seven years of clinical fasting research at UC Davis to provide the same cellular health and longevity benefits as a 36-hour fast in a simple daily pill. Mimio has been clinically shown to produce the same anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardioprotective effects as fasting, even during a meal, extend lifespan in model organisms by 96%, and reduce biological age (DNAMet) in humans. Whether you're a fasting enthusiast, new to fasting, or simply curious about how fasting can enhance your health, this episode is packed with actionable insights and groundbreaking information!
