Sparing muscle loss during fat loss is what every midlife woman needs to hear before trying another fasting trend.  Whether intermittent fasting truly delivers fat loss benefits — or if it quietly costs you the very muscle that protects your metabolism, we'll talk about the latest 2025 research reveals about protein-sparing modified fasting, autophagy, ketones, and why calorie deficit alone isn't the full story.  In this episode, know if fasting fits your body or not — if you're in perimenopause or postmenopause and want better body composition without wrecking recovery. Sparing muscle loss during fat loss isn't about eating less and hoping for the best — it's about using science strategically to protect strength, metabolism, and longevity. If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

What if inflammation isn't the enemy? For decades we've been told to suppress it, silence it, and eliminate it as quickly as possible. Anti-inflammatory diets. Anti-inflammatory drugs. Anti-inflammatory supplements. But what if the body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do? In this powerful solo episode, Darin breaks down the biology of inflammation and challenges the modern narrative that inflammation itself is the disease. Instead, he reveals a deeper truth: inflammation is a signal — an intelligent response to disruption in the body's environment. From gut health and modern diet to stress, sleep deprivation, environmental toxins, and movement deprivation, this episode uncovers the real drivers behind chronic inflammation and why suppressing the signal without addressing the cause may actually delay healing. This isn't about rejecting modern medicine. It's about asking a better question. Why is the fire there in the first place?     In This Episode Why inflammation is the body's emergency response system The difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation The chemical cascade that activates the immune response How the body naturally turns inflammation off through resolution molecules Why chronic inflammation is often a signal that the trigger hasn't been removed The gut microbiome and the connection between leaky gut and systemic inflammation Why Western diets dramatically alter inflammatory signaling The omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance in modern food systems How refined sugar activates inflammatory pathways in the body Chronic psychological stress and the HPA axis inflammatory response The gut-brain-inflammation connection and mental health Sleep disruption and the immune-sleep "crosstalk" cycle Why skeletal muscle acts as an anti-inflammatory organ Environmental toxins, PFAS, pesticides, and microplastics as immune triggers What ancient systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine understood about inflammation thousands of years ago The global reliance on NSAIDs and the culture of suppressing symptoms Research showing anti-inflammatory drugs may delay healing The cycle of gut damage and chronic inflammation created by long-term NSAID use Why removing triggers is the real path to resolving inflammation     Chapters 00:00:03 – Opening: Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of building health sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Manna 00:02:16 – Introducing the topic: Why inflammation may be widely misunderstood 00:03:00 – The modern obsession with "anti-inflammatory everything" 00:04:14 – Reframing inflammation: the body's emergency response system 00:05:30 – What actually happens inside the body during inflammation 00:07:00 – Breakthrough research on the body's natural inflammation resolution system 00:08:01 – Acute inflammation vs chronic inflammation explained 00:09:14 – Chronic inflammation and its link to major diseases 00:09:45 – Why inflammation is often a symptom rather than the root cause 00:10:40 – The gut microbiome and its role in regulating inflammation 00:11:40 – How ultra-processed foods damage the gut and trigger inflammatory signals 00:12:23 – Sponsor: Our Place 00:14:53 – Omega-3 vs omega-6 fats and their influence on inflammatory pathways 00:15:48 – Sugar, insulin signaling, and metabolic inflammation 00:16:09 – Chronic stress and the inflammatory cascade 00:17:06 – The gut-brain-inflammation connection 00:18:00 – Sleep and the body's nightly inflammatory reset 00:18:31 – Muscle contraction and the release of anti-inflammatory myokines 00:19:16 – Environmental toxins and why the immune system responds with inflammation 00:20:04 – Ancient perspectives on inflammation, including Ayurveda's concept of "Pitta" 00:22:48 – The widespread use of NSAIDs and anti-inflammatory medications 00:23:50 – Research showing suppressing inflammation may delay healing 00:25:05 – The vicious cycle of NSAIDs damaging the gut and increasing inflammation 00:26:15 – Dietary patterns that reduce inflammatory triggers 00:27:18 – Why daily movement acts as natural anti-inflammatory medicine 00:27:50 – A better question to ask your doctor: Why is inflammation present? 00:28:09 – The final perspective: inflammation as communication from the body 00:29:07 – Closing message: inflammation is not the enemy: it's the conversation     Thank You to Our Sponsors Our Place – Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.

It is your body raising the alarm: responding to stress, toxins, injury, imbalance, and disruption. Suppressing the alarm without asking why it's ringing keeps the cycle going. Healing begins when we stop fighting the signal and start listening to what the body is trying to tell us. Your body isn't broken. It's responding to the environment it's been given. Change the environment and the biology follows.  

Physiological profiling is often the missing link in amateur triathletes' training programs. Knowing your profile on a scale from very endurance based (slow twitch phenotype) to very explosive (fast twitch phenotype) can help you avoid costly mistakes and break through plateaus in your triathlon training through better individualisation. In this episode, we discuss the ins and outs of this topic, from how to correctly profile an athlete without misinterpretation or overinterpretation, to important training implications for different athlete profiles.   HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:  What is physiological profiling?  Different methods, including race performance assessments, power-duration curve, Critical Power testing, psychological factors, and more… What are the main differences between fast twitch dominant profiles and slow twitch dominant profiles, and why does it matter for your triathlon training program?  Training implications for different profiles: intensity, volume, session structures, nutrition, rest within and between sessions, fatiguability, and more How to deal with different profiles in a group training setting Practical takehome messages that you can use to improve your triathlon training.  DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES:  We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes.

What if failure isn't the enemy—but the training ground?That's the question Christian Taylor explores in this episode of Documentary First: The Deep Dive, sparked by her conversation with filmmaker Quinnolyn Benson-Yates about the documentary Epic Bill. Bill Bradley lost his video rental empire to Netflix, went bankrupt, went through a divorce—and then rebuilt himself through extreme endurance athletics. His mantra? “Courage is a muscle.” And “Show up and suffer.”In this deeply personal episode, Christian connects Bill's story to her own struggles as a filmmaker, podcast host, and business owner—and to the ancient wisdom of the Stoics, Scripture, and some of history's greatest examples of failure-turned-triumph.What You'll Learn:Why “courage is a muscle” is backed by actual scienceThe mental tennis lesson that changed Christian's relationship with failureWhat Thomas Edison and Michael Jordan understood about reframing failureHow the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” wouldn't have happened without a crushing 10-3 defeatWhat the Stoics and James 1:2-4 agree on about trials and perseveranceChristian's honest confession about feeling like a failure—and choosing to keep goingKey Quotes:“I didn't fail. I found out 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb.” — Thomas Edison“I've failed over and over and over in my life. And that's why I succeed.” — Michael Jordan“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” — Marcus Aurelius“Valuing the courage to try again is a radical concept.” — Quinnolyn Benson-YatesFeatured Documentary: Epic Bill, directed by Quinnolyn Benson-Yates.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa Fine talks with Trish Ashman, Senior Director of Ethics & Compliance (AMEA & APAC) at Cushman & Wakefield, about resilience, integrity, and knowing when it's time to move on. Trish shares her journey from private practice in London to Singapore and into the Ethics and Compliance space. Trish was at Wirecard and then at Twitter, both of which had her working through two major corporate crises – the fraud at Wirecard and the ownership change at Twitter. Trish candidly shares her experiences and lessons learned from both of those roles. At Wirecard, she stayed to support employees during the collapse, focused on fairness and doing what she could to make a difference. At Twitter, after the acquisition dramatically reshaped the company and its compliance function, she considered whether she could still meaningfully influence ethical decision-making and if this role aligned with her values. This episode is an honest conversation about ethics and compliance as a calling, resilience as a muscle, and how these experiences shaped Trish and helped her become resilient and find a role where she would thrive.

Apply to Become a Patient --> DianeKazer.com/PATIENT Join Our VIP Tribe --> DianeKazer.com/VIP Have you done everything your white coat doctor told you to do…and still feel terrible OR are you continuing to feel even worse? You followed the plan. You took the prescriptions. You trusted that your doctor knew what's best. And yet…your body keeps whispering that something deeper is off. This is exactly why on our CHI podcast this week I'm introducing you to our CHI Patient, Wendy. Wendy came to CHI feeling frustrated, exhausted and defeated. She truly believed her body was broken. She was consistently told it's "just perimenopause." She followed her doctors' orders. She took what they prescribed. She was told her symptoms were normal. Yet she wasn't getting better. The aches and pains continued. The weight crept up. The fear grew as she watched cancer and autoimmune disease skyrocket around her. She felt powerless in a toxic world. Then she chose root-cause healing. So where is Wendy today? • 20 pounds down • Muscle mass up • Aches and pains gone • Energy restored • And most importantly…peace in her soul She shared with me: "When you see how suffering is optional, you don't want anyone to suffer any longer." This episode is about what happens when you stop managing symptoms…and start removing what's actually driving them. If you've ever been told "it's just hormones" while knowing something deeper is off — this conversation is for you. If you've been told your labs are "normal" but you don't feel normal… If you've been dismissed, minimized or handed another prescription… If you know in your gut there's something deeper at play driving your mystery symptoms and dis-ease… You are not crazy. You are not broken. And you are not out of options. There are real solutions when you address the root.

Iron Radio: Nutrition Knowledge, Diet Quality, and Where Athletes Get Their Info On Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss how heavy training taxes recovery, then focus on athlete nutrition knowledge and diet quality using a Current Developments in Nutrition editorial summarizing six articles. They note adolescents often get nutrition info from social media, with athletes valuing credible sources more and viewing food as fuel, while non-athletes see food as social. They discuss YouTube as a major information source and how expert content may lack trust-building communication compared to non-experts. A study in Ireland found sensory appeal as the top driver of food choice even in active populations. Data from Florida State Division I cross-country athletes showed inadequate carbs, calcium, and vitamin D, but adequate protein, fat, and iron, alongside poor overall diet quality. They also cover Iranian bodybuilders' supplement use patterns and debate how veteran strength athletes simplify supplement choices. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 00:35 Meet Prep and Big Lifts 01:30 Squat vs Deadlift Grind 03:01 Risk and Willpower 04:00 Lonnie Background and Credentials 05:01 Today Topic and Upcoming Guests 06:39 Athletes Nutrition Knowledge 08:12 Social Media and Mentors 10:23 YouTube Experts vs Influencers 12:11 Taste Drives Food Choices 14:17 Athlete Fuel Mindset 15:44 Learning to Eat for Gains 16:47 Taste Preferences Get Skewed 17:38 New Podcast Feed 18:48 Mike Nelson Newsletter 19:27 Supplements Book Update 20:35 Runner Diet Quality Study 23:12 Elite Sport vs Health 27:27 Bodybuilder Supplement Habits 31:59 Old School Protein Tales 34:29 Athletes More Mindful 35:04 Wrap Up and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Pressure is an undeniable reality for anyone in sales. High-stakes meetings, critical pitches, and tough negotiations are daily occurrences. While some thrive, others falter.    This week, I'm joined by communication expert, keynote speaker, and bestselling author Dominic Colenso for a conversation on how to excel in high-pressure sales situations. Drawing from his experience as a professional actor and performance coach, Dominic shares why communication often breaks down under pressure, shares practical strategies for staying calm and present, and explains how salespeople can turn pressure into a tool for greater impact.   Outline of This Episode   [0:00] Presence enhances performance [04:11] Learning about being in the moment from Bill Nighy [06:49] Staying grounded using breath and posture [12:32] Engagement tips for virtual Meetings [15:36] Maintaining confidence in presentations [17:50] Authenticity in leadership communication Where Communication Breaks Down   According to Dominic Colenso, one of a salesperson's biggest barriers to great communication under pressure is the tendency to focus too much on themselves—overloading the conversation with product features and personal knowledge. Instead, successful communicators make it about the audience. Failing to address the listener's needs, challenges, and expectations leads to disengagement, especially when seconds count.   How Pressure Affects Performance   Pressure can enhance or distort our performance. The key is being in the moment. Drawing from his acting career, Dominic stresses the importance of grounding yourself and resisting distractions. Real presence enables adaptability and focus, even as adrenaline surges and the stakes rise.   He shares his experience of learning from actor Bill Nighy, who demonstrated how energy could be switched from relaxation to intense focus. It's not the showmanship that matters, but laser-sharp concentration—this is what makes a real difference in critical moments.   What Top Performers Do Differently   When under pressure, top salespeople slow down rather than speed up. The biological urge to accelerate, driven by adrenaline, can cause premature responses and missed cues. But elite performers take their time and resist the temptation to rush. Pausing and breathing provides time to think clearly and gives clients a sense of being truly heard. Control and composure transform stressful encounters into meaningful dialogue.   Creating Calm Without Overcontrol   Confidence is often mistaken for control. Dominic advises focusing not only on what you say but also on how your body feels and behaves under stress. Simple physical grounding—placing both feet evenly on the floor, steadying your breath, avoiding fidgeting—can decrease stress hormones and boost confidence. This physiological reset helps you think more clearly and remain authentically present, even in tough meetings.   Preparation is essential: pattern these habits before walking into high-stakes rooms by practicing in everyday scenarios. Muscle memory built in casual contexts will kick in when it matters most.   The Power of Simplicity   For sales professionals preparing for a big meeting, Dominic recommends one immediate tactic: simplify your message. Think about your audience and distill your communication into a headline. Support this headline with just three core ideas. When conversation feels streamlined and relevant, clients are more likely to lean in than tune out. Overwhelming clients with information risks confusion; clarity inspires engagement.   Virtual Selling Brings New Pressures   Virtual meetings bring different challenges, such as reduced engagement and fewer non-verbal cues. Dominic encourages adopting a "Netflix box set" approach by breaking lengthy pitches into shorter, interactive sessions. Every virtual meeting should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, with regular opportunities for dialogue. Ask questions frequently to keep clients involved and gauge comprehension.   Whether delivering a scripted pitch or responding on the fly, authenticity wins. Rehearse aloud, adapt the message to your style, and add personal touches. The more you show up as yourself, the more your audience connects and responds.

If we're going to talk about GLP-1s…Let's stop whispering.And let's ditch the shame.I bring this up after sharing a GLP-1 resource on Facebook and seeing people comment "asking for a friend."Using a medical tool to improve your health isn't a character flaw.It's not laziness. It's not weakness.And choosing not to use one? That's valid too.You don't get a medal for suffering. And you don't lose integrity for getting support.What actually moves you forward is being informed…and choosing the path that aligns with your goals, your lifestyle, and your reality.But informed means understanding the trade-offs.So let's own what this medication is - and what it isn't.GLP-1s suppress appetite. That's their job.Appetite suppression alone does not build the physique, strength, or metabolic resilience most people actually want.They don't build muscle.They don't selectively burn only fat.They don't stimulate hypertrophy or magically optimize your metabolism.Muscle is built with tension. With progressive overload. With enough fuel and enough protein to support growth.And building muscle is one of the most powerful ways to support long-term metabolic health.When calories drop quickly (especially without strength training) lean mass loss is common.Rapid weight loss without muscle retention is not the same thing as improving body composition.That's not judgment. That's physiology.So if you choose to use a GLP-1 and you want to look strong, defined, and athletic?You need intentional strength training.You need adequate protein.You need to give your body a reason to keep its muscle.And if you choose not to use one?The fundamentals are still the same.Intentional training. Adequate protein. Consistency over time.Different paths. Same principles.What matters most is ownership.Being able to say:"This is the route I'm choosing.""I understand what it does - and what it doesn't.""I'm committed to building the result I actually want."No shame. No defensiveness. No pretending either choice is morally superior.Just informed decisions with high standards.Open conversations lead to smarter strategies.And muscle - real muscle - is always built on purpose.If you're using a GLP-1, or considering it, hit reply with GLP-1 here's a guide on how to maintain muscle and metabolic health while doing it:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VCuyUsZVZvD-AN0WFyjxAzYTMu3JWkTT/view?usp=sharing

Most women join my FASTer Way class because they want to lose weight for their health. And that is a GREAT reason to join. But somewhere along the journey, something shifts. They realize what they actually want isn't just weight loss. They want fat loss. And here's the discovery that shocks almost everyone: Not all exercise targets fat loss. Strength training is THE most effective way to target fat loss. It also preserves muscle so your metabolism doesn't slow down as you lose fat. Muscle burns more calories — even at rest. So you don't just get smaller… you get leaner and stronger. And that means you can sustain the loss long term. I wish I could change every woman's mindset to this: Instead of working so hard to lose weight…Work to gain muscle. You'll get a better aesthetic result. You'll keep the fat off longer. You'll be stronger. And you'll live independently longer. I don't know a single woman who wants to become tiny and frail as she ages. We want to be strong, independent, mobile, and maybe a little sassy. So here's the question leading our lesson today: Are you strong enough? In today's episode, I want to shift your thinking from getting smaller through weight loss… to getting stronger and watching fat loss become the side effect.

The human brain isn't actually a muscle, as a lot of people think. But nevertheless we still need to give it exercise to keep it healthy.  While you can go to the gym to work out the muscles in your body, the equivalent for the brain is training and stimulating something called "brain plasticity”. Verywellmind.com says that plasticity “refers to the brain's malleability or ability to change”. And it's definitely worth working to improve it too, as it can give cognitive performance a real boost. Are you saying improving brain plasticity makes you smarter? What kind of exercises can I do to improve those then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

If you have PCOS and you feel like your body and metabolism is fighting  against you… this episode is for you.  The “just eat less, move more” advice falls short here,  and we're especially done with the gym bros who can't explain a follicular phase telling women to cut carbs and just try harder. So, in this episode we brought on for the second time Dr. Alison Gottschalk, Naturopathic Doctor to come on to dive deep into the weight loss and metabolism conversation when it comes to PCOS.We talk aboutWhat insulin resistance really is and what important lab markers to look out forThe connection between your liver, testosterone, and weightWhy under-eating can actually make everything worseWhy muscle might be more important than any supplement in PCOSThe Low carb conversationHIIT training  and cortisol in PCOSGLP-1's and other medications used here And so much moreYou can connect with Dr. Alison below:Instagram & TikTok: @dr.alisongottsndTo get 20% off + free shipping on StayAbove Nutrition products for the month of march use the code GGW20 at checkout!Our Favourite products are the Muscle 5 protein powder (Vic's fav is Vanilla, Jeanette's is chocolate), their Creatine 1 tablets, and their trim 7.You can check them out hereDon't forget to follow us on Instagram @girlsgonewellnesspodcast for updates and more wellness tips.

GLP-1 medications are either wildly overhyped or harshly criticized depending on the week—and one of the loudest concerns right now is that they “cause muscle loss.” In this episode, I'm digging into what the research actually shows about lean mass changes on GLP-1s, what's being misunderstood online, and what patients and clinicians can do to protect muscle while still benefiting from these powerful therapies. To help me unpack this, I'm joined by Dr. Michael Tsoukas, Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Endocrinology at the McGill University Health Centre, Co-Director of the Metabolic & Weight Optimization Clinic, and a clinician-scientist whose work focuses on GLP-1 pharmacotherapy and obesity treatment. He's trained at Tufts, McGill, and Harvard, and has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications.We talk about where the muscle-loss concern came from, how GLP-1 weight loss compares to bariatric surgery and diet-only approaches, and whether lean mass loss always reflects true functional muscle loss. We also get practical, discussing resistance training and protein targets (it's more than you may think!).If you're on a GLP-1, considering one, or prescribing them—this is a science-based conversation that separates fear from facts.Guest: Dr. Michael TsoukasWebsite: mwoc.caWORK WITH MEJoin my Weight Loss Coaching Program for women, Best Weight https://www.sashahighmd.com/bestweightRecover Strong for Binge Eatinghttps://www.sashahighmd.com/bedO​​ntario-Wide Virtual Obesity Management Clinichttps://www.highmetabolicclinic.comTaking the first step toward weight loss can feel overwhelming — but you don't have to do it alone.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bill Campbell (IG: @billcampbellphd), one of the leading researchers in physique science and fat loss, to have an honest and evidence-based conversation about fat loss during perimenopause.Dr. Campbell is a professor and researcher who focuses specifically on physique goals meaning his work isn't just about general health, but about improving body composition, muscle retention, and sustainable fat loss. In recent years, he has placed a strong emphasis on understanding the unique physiological challenges women face during perimenopause and how those changes may impact dieting outcomes.We dive into:What's actually happening metabolically during perimenopauseWhether fat loss truly becomes “harder” (and why)Muscle retention and protein needs in this phase of lifeAdaptive metabolism and dieting strategy adjustmentsThe biggest mistakes women make when approaching fat loss in this seasonEmerging research findings that may surprise youWe also reveal some interesting early findings from ongoing research that could shift the way we approach fat loss for this population.One of the most exciting parts of this episode is that you can potentially contribute to the research. Dr. Campbell shares how women may be able to participate in upcoming studies and help advance our understanding of evidence-based fat loss strategies for perimenopause.If you're navigating this phase yourself or you coach women who are this is a must-listen.If you're looking for individualized guidance, you can apply for coaching at www.nicoleferrierfitness.comAnd connect with me on Instagram at @NicoleFerrierFitness.As always, I'm here to help you build muscle, lose fat intelligently, and create a healthy, balanced relationship with food at every stage of life.

Rebuilding Trust With Your Body After Infertility When IVF Failed (with Holly Perkins) When IVF failed and fertility treatments ended without a baby, you did not just lose a dream. You often lost trust in your body. After years of hormones, medical procedures, weight changes, and emotional whiplash, it can feel almost impossible to want to care for yourself again. Movement can feel loaded. Exercise can feel like punishment. And sometimes the quiet thought underneath it all is: Why should I take care of you? In Episode 200, you are getting a grounded, practical conversation about rebuilding your relationship with your body after infertility. You will hear from Holly Perkins, a women's fitness expert with 30 years of experience helping women build strength through science-backed, sustainable approaches designed for women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. This is not about chasing a smaller number on the scale. This is about strength, muscle, metabolism, bone health, and feeling better in your body after everything it has been through. If caring for your body has felt complicated since IVF failed, this episode is for you. What You Will Learn Why it makes sense that self-care feels hard after fertility treatments end. How emotional healing and physical strength support each other. Why "just lose weight" is not the right goal after hormone disruption. What happens to muscle and metabolism in your 40s and 50s. Why muscle is more important than the scale for long-term health. How strength training supports bone density and aging well. What a realistic starting point looks like when you have felt disconnected from your body. A Message You Might Need to Hear You are not broken because it feels hard to care for your body right now. When IVF failed, your body can start to feel like the enemy. This conversation helps you shift from punishment to partnership so you can rebuild trust in a way that feels steady and sustainable.

In this episode of Somatic Movement and Mindset, Heidi Hadley explores why pandiculation is the missing link in how we care for muscles, fascia, and joints, and why stretching alone often falls short.If you have ever stretched consistently yet still felt tight, restricted, or in pain, this episode will help you understand why.  Heidi unpacks the science of how the nervous system controls muscle tone, how fascia adapts to habitual tension, and why joints rely on intelligent movement rather than force.Pandiculation is not about pulling or forcing tissues. It is about restoring communication between the brain and body so movement becomes easier, lighter, and more efficient.

Is your metabolism really slowing down… or is something else going on? In this episode, Dr. Vickie takes you to “mini medical school” to break down what metabolism actually is, how it works, and why muscle is the true MVP of metabolic health—especially for women over 30 and through menopause. If you're walking daily, eating reasonably well, and still battling belly fat, fatigue, or blood sugar swings, this conversation is for you. You'll learn: What basal metabolic rate really means Why muscle burns more calories than fat—even at rest How muscle improves insulin sensitivity and helps regulate blood sugar The connection between muscle, belly fat, sleep, and energy Why walking is wonderful—but not enough on its own The role of resistance training, protein, fiber, and restorative sleep Dr. Vickie explains how muscle acts as your body's largest “glucose sink,” why insulin and leptin signaling matter, and how strength training becomes even more critical in midlife. She also addresses common myths about protein, plant-forward eating, and the scale—and offers practical, doable steps to build a stronger, more metabolically healthy body. Because cardio burns calories today… but muscle burns calories tomorrow. As always, this episode is grounded in evidence-based lifestyle medicine and designed to help you reclaim your energy, focus, and long-term wellbeing.   Healthy Looks Great on You - the LAB Body Pod*   *contains affiliate link

if you've ever thought “maybe i just need to cut carbs harder” “i'm eating so little… why is nothing changing... here's why dieting feels SO HARD... and why you sometimes feel like a feral raccoon at night....because for a lot of women, the issue isn't carbs. it's not fat either.it's that your diet is built around rules you can't sustain — and your protein is too low to make the whole thing feel liveable.in part 2 with luke leaman, we break down why protein is the most underrated lever for fat loss, appetite control, and body recomposition — and why most women are accidentally under-eating protein while over-snacking their way out of a deficit.we talk about:• why you're so hungry in a deficit (and why hunger isn't a “mindset issue”)• how higher protein makes dieting feel easier (satiety + structure + fewer cravings)• why keto isn't magic (and how it can mess with training if you don't understand it)• the thermic effect of food: why protein literally costs energy to digest• the “paper deficit” problem: when your tracking says deficit but weekends + snacks say otherwise• how to adjust calories without going extreme (so you stop rebounding)2 mini wins you can use this week:• pick a protein target and hit it daily for 7 days before you change anything else. clean data first.• choose one “problem time” (night snacking, weekends, wine) and put a simple boundary around it for 14 days.if you want fat loss that doesn't feel like punishment, start here.find me @transformxruby on instagram

Episode 3307: Kate Galliett reveals that muscle cramps are less about salt and hydration and more about your nervous system's unfamiliarity with certain movements. By training your body to explore new ranges and improve mind-muscle communication, you can reduce cramping, build resilience, and move with more freedom. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://fitforreallife.substack.com/p/why-do-muscle-cramps-happen Quotes to ponder: "You cramp because your brain and body aren't communicating well yet.

Heart attacks occur every 40 seconds in America, affecting a total of 805,000 people annually. It is characterized by blocked coronary arteries that starve cardiac muscle of blood flow Australian researchers found human hearts can regenerate muscle cells after heart attacks, with preserved cardiac tissue showing 7% to 8% mitosis rates (a measure of cell regeneration activity), though 25% to 50% is needed for full repair Hypoxia, which is the oxygen-deprived state during heart attacks, may also trigger regeneration, similar to how fetal hearts produce new cells in the low-oxygen womb environment Advanced heart failure reduces heart muscle cell renewal dramatically, but patients with mechanical heart pumps showed regeneration rates of 3.1% annually — six times higher than healthy hearts Prevention remains crucial. Strategies such as minimizing linoleic acid consumption, monitoring body fat percentage, engaging in moderate resistance training, and learning to recognize heart attack warning signs increase outcomes

Why is belly fat always the last to go? If you feel like your arms, legs, and back lean out… but your stomach refuses to budge, you're not imagining it. And you're not broken. In this episode, Kim breaks down the hormonal reality of fat storage after 35 and why dieting harder is usually the wrong answer. You'll learn: • Why women in perimenopause and menopause store fat around the middle • What “androgen body type” actually means • Why belly fat is hormonally protected • The biggest mistake women make chasing abs • Why GLP-1s can stall without strength training • How muscle changes your metabolism • Why time and consistency beat shortcuts every time Kim also shares her personal story of dieting down to extremely low body fat and still not having abs — and what finally changed everything after three years of focused muscle building. If you want abs after 35, a better metabolism, lower inflammation, and lasting fat loss, this is the conversation you need to hear. There are no magic tricks. There is muscle. There is time. And there is consistency. Follow Kim for more real talk and weekly education:

Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Loosen Your Tight & Achy Muscles Without Stretching: https://www.matschaumburg.com Muscle strength is often measured by the amount of weight that you can lift, but did you know there is actually an earlier indication that your muscles are getting stronger? This early marker is one of the first things we see improve with many of our clients, and without realizing how important of a sign it is, it is really easy to overlook. On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are diving into what this early marker is, why it is so important, and how to recognize it within yourself. If you have ever wondered if making strength gains means more than just seeing your weight room numbers increase, listen up! What we share in this conversation will give you confidence that you are making progress much sooner than expected. Check out all the details in this week's episode!

If your workouts feel harder than they used to… If your recovery takes longer… If your brain feels foggier after a stressful day… You need to hear this. It's not about motivation. It's not about discipline. And it's not because you're "getting older." In this episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down a shift that almost no one explains to women: Estrogen stimulates creatine production. And when estrogen declines in perimenopause and menopause, creatine can decline too. Creatine isn't just a gym supplement. It's critical for cellular energy. It helps recycle ATP, the fuel your muscles and brain run on. When ATP drops, strength, recovery, and mental clarity can shift with it. This conversation will change how you think about midlife performance. In this episode, you'll learn: What creatine actually does inside the female body Why creatine matters more after 40 The connection between estrogen, ATP, and muscle strength How creatine supports brain energy and stress resilience What the research says about safety and dosing Who should consider creatine, and who shouldn't How to support strength long term through physiology, not willpower If you're lifting heavier but building less muscle… If your brain feels slower under pressure… If you've been blaming yourself for feeling "off"… Bookmark this episode. Share it with a friend who's navigating perimenopause or menopause. Because when you understand your biology, you stop fighting your body.

Fasted training is one of the most persistent fat-loss myths—and in this episode, Dr. Katie Hirsch breaks down what actually matters for women: training quality, muscle preservation, and metabolic health. We unpack why "burning more fat during a workout" is often the wrong target, and how a small amount of protein (or EAAs) before training can change perceived exertion, improve workout output, and potentially increase post-workout energy expenditure—especially in women who are prone to under-fueling. We also dive into muscle quality (not just muscle size), why it matters for insulin sensitivity and body composition, and what changes in peri/post-menopause can mean for amino acid delivery to muscle—and how to train and eat to stay lean, strong, and metabolically resilient.

(As mentioned in the episode: she's wrapping up publications on improved methods to characterize hormone profiles and exploring new ways to use bioelectrical impedance outcomes like phase angle to better capture muscle quality and related physiology.)

You're taking 600 IU of vitamin D.Your labs say “normal.”But you could still be deficient. In this episode, Ben reveals why the official vitamin D recommendations were based on preventing rickets, not optimizing immunity, metabolism, muscle, or brain health. Independent researchers reanalyzed the original RDA data and found the required intake for adequacy was dramatically higher — yet the guidelines barely changed. Vitamin D is not just a vitamin. It functions like a steroid hormone and impacts: Immune regulation Inflammation control Insulin sensitivity Muscle protein synthesis Brain function Low vitamin D is strongly associated with insulin resistance, and since 93% of Americans are insulin resistant, this could be a massive blind spot. Ben also explains: Why “normal” lab ranges may still mean deficiency Why optimal levels should be above 60 ng/mL How obesity lowers circulating vitamin D Why magnesium and vitamin K2 are required for proper activation Why toxicity fears are overblown compared to widespread insufficiency You'll also learn the simple 3-step plan to optimize vitamin D safely: Smart midday sun exposure Intelligent supplementation with D3 + K2 + magnesium Regular testing and cofactor support If you're over 45, insulin resistant, or struggling with stubborn inflammation, this episode could be a game changer. You don't have a weak immune system.You may just have an under-supported one.
