Do GLP-1 medications like Ozempic reduce physical activity? Preliminary research suggests they might, raising important questions about how exercise should be supported alongside treatment.GLP-1 medications are helping many people achieve meaningful weight loss and metabolic improvements. At the same time, findings presented at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting showed declines in daily steps and moderate-to-vigorous activity after treatment began. In this video, Dr. Bret Scher examines those results, explores why activity levels may fall, and explains how similar concerns can arise with medications such as statins and antipsychotics.He covers:What the study found about physical activityWhy side effects and rapid weight loss may reduce movementHow muscle loss can affect long-term metabolic healthWhy resistance training and protein intake matterHow clinicians can provide more structured exercise supportThese findings highlight the importance of pairing GLP-1 medications with proactive support for physical activity and muscle preservation. More broadly, they suggest that when a treatment can affect appetite, energy, or body composition, those effects should be monitored and addressed as part of ongoing care.

Send us Fan MailPut the Phone Away: Walk With IntentionWe all know walking is good for our health—but how you walk matters, too.In this Lifestyle MD Soundbite, Dr. Angela explores why walking is most beneficial when you're fully present rather than distracted by your phone. Looking down at a screen changes your posture, slows your pace, and disconnects you from the environment around you. Research suggests that walking while focused on a smartphone may reduce some of the mental and emotional benefits of walking, including improvements in mood and connectedness with nature, while also altering normal walking mechanics. (mdpi.com)Dr. Angela challenges listeners to try their next walk with their phone tucked away, notifications silenced, and their attention focused on the sights, sounds, and sensations around them.

Warum kreisen unsere Gedanken manchmal ständig ums Essen? Mit Ernährungspsychologe Frédéric Letzner sprechen wir über Food Noise, Diäten und Verbote, emotionales Essen, intuitive Ernährung, Bodybuilding, Social Media und GLP‑1‑Abnehmspritzen. Dabei geht es um die Frage, wann Gesundheitsstreben kippt – und wie ein entspannteres Verhältnis zu Essen und Körper entstehen kann. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dominiks Buch zur pflanzenbasierten Sporternährung im UTB-Verlag: https://www.utb.de/doi/book/10.36198/9783838560328 Dominiks Gesundheitscommunity: www.gsundes-hannover.de Dominiks Online-Knie-Kurs: https://gsundes-hannover.de/knieschmerzen/ Dominiks Online-Rücken-Kurs: https://copecart.com/products/34bd5abb/checkout Marcs veganes Online-Fitness-Coaching: https://vegainer-academy.com/ Marcs Online-Kurs: https://www.copecart.com/products/a50f88f2/checkout Frédérics Instagram-Kanal: https://www.instagram.com/frederic.letzner.official/?hl=de Frédérics Webseite: https://fredericletzner.de/ Frédérics Online-Kurse: https://fredericletzner-kurs.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieser Podcast wird unterstützt von der Firma Watson Nutrition.

Es kann mit erhöhtem Risiko für gestörtes Essverhalten und Muskeldysmorphie verbunden sein. Ebenso können rigide Clean-Eating-Regeln und Essanfälle zusammenhängen, gehören aber nicht zwangsläufig zusammen. 00:51:58:17–00:56:05:17 – Fasten, Körperhass und Veganismus: Fasten „zerstört“ Hunger- und Sättigungssignale nicht generell. Es kann bei vulnerablen Menschen problematisch werden. Auch die behauptete hohe Dunkelziffer an Essstörungen unter vegan lebenden Menschen ist nicht belegt. Eine vegane Ernährung kann in Einzelfällen Restriktion verdecken, ist aber nicht automatisch ein Risikomarker. 01:09:03:17–01:09:58:17 – Langzeitfolgen von GLP-1: „Langzeitfolgen sind unbekannt“ ist zu grob. Es liegen inzwischen Daten über mehrere Jahre vor; offene Fragen betreffen besonders lebenslange Anwendung und sehr seltene Folgen. Quellenverzeichnis American Psychiatric Association. (2022).

What if our obsession with “dangerous” sun is killing us?If you (recklessly) leave your urban office for lunch, you are told to yank your hat down low. If you (again, recklessly) let your kids dash into the backyard, you are told to slather them in sunscreen—or learn to live with the guilt.And yes, sun avoidance undoubtedly prevents some skin cancers, including the deadliest type, melanomaBut a recent study suggests sunlight contributes to hundreds of thousands of deaths every year in the United States alone—orders of magnitude more than the estimated 8400 annual US melanoma deaths.In this episode, we discuss evidence linking sun avoidance toalmost a million annual deaths in the US and Europe alone, exceeding the number caused by global military conflictsbreast, pancreatic, colon, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroketo INCREASED risk of death in those diagnosed with sun-induced melanoma.Yes, you read that right; some melanoma deaths may be related to too little sunlight.  (But do understand that this is complex--sunlight DOES cause melanoma. Well, some melanomas....)We also discuss why supplementing with vitamin D pills fails to remedy these terrible conditions, and what a thoughtful person can do instead, while staying safe.We hope you enjoy this episode, and that it helps you enjoy the sun again--thoughtfully, of course. References and further reading:  Sunlight: Time for a Rethink?Benefits of oral Polypodium leucotomas extract in MM high risk patients (This is an ingredient in Life Extension's Shade Factor, mentioned in this episode by Dr. Gordon). Uses of Polypodium leucotomos Extract in Oncodermatology  Calzari et alInsufficient Sun Exposure Has Become a Real Public Health Problem.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in Canada—and for survivors in rural and remote communities, recovery often means navigating a health-care system with far fewer resources than their urban counterparts. In this episode of From Here Forward, hosts Carol Eugene Park and Jeevan Sangha sit down with Dr. Brodie Sakakibara, associate professor in UBC's Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy and director of the Okanagan Stroke Research Lab, to unpack how telehealth and virtual rehabilitation are reshaping recovery across BC's Interior.Dr. Sakakibara breaks down why the current health-care system's acute-care focus leaves many stroke survivors without support once they return home—and how that gap contributes to alarming numbers: 16% of stroke survivors will have a second stroke within a year, and one-third within five years. He shares how his lab is using technology to extend care into rural communities, empower patients to self-manage chronic health, and address barriers like device and internet access.Listeners will also learn how to recognize stroke symptoms, the modifiable risk factors that matter most for prevention, and why sleep, stress management, and physical activity remain foundational to long-term recovery. Links & Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Contact CarolContact JeevanFrom Here ForwardPodium Podcast CompanyAbout Brodie SakakibaraLearn more about the StrOKe LabKnow FAST - the signs of stroke (00:00) - Introduction (01:33) - Meet Dr. Brodie Sakakibara (01:58) - Stroke recovery research + long-term health (02:56) - From clinical path to research career (05:02) - The Okanagan Stroke Research Lab (05:42) - Stroke recovery after discharge (07:24) - Telehealth, telerehab + COVID's impact (09:06) - Rural access + health equity (12:36) - Stroke risk factors + secondary prevention (14:10) - Younger strokes + prevention gaps (16:06) - Extending stroke care into the community (16:58) - Stroke stats everyone should know (18:17) - Stroke awareness + FAST signs (19:22) - Daily habits for stroke prevention (20:42) - Conclusion

If you’ve ever tried to do too much, crashed hard, and then felt like you were back at square one—this episode is for you. I’m talking about two of the most important concepts we teach in Vestibular Group Fit: scaling and pacing. It cannot be stressed enough how important this is and how much we talk about it in VGF. Scaling and pacing aren’t about doing less forever. They’re about building capacity strategically so you can eventually do MORE without paying for it for days afterward. I’m walking you through real-life examples of how to scale movement, exercise routines, walking, driving, and other daily activities — plus what to do on higher symptom days and post-attack so you can recover faster and get back to living your life. In this episode, we'll dig into: What scaling and pacing actually mean and how they're different Why you should never increase more than 10% at a time How to scale things like strength training, walking, and driving The difference between “immediate” responders and “hangover” responders Real-life pacing strategies you can add into your day-to-day life How to scale down on post-attack or high symptom days The 30-day to 30-minute return to walk program results from VGF Summer consistency challenge details for Vestibular Group Fit members Whether it’s exercise, grocery shopping, driving, or attending your nephew’s graduation—the same principles apply. Scaling and pacing are skills. As with any skill, it takes time, practice, and a whole lot of grace and patience with yourself.

Physical activity in later life is often promoted for its potential physical, psychological and social benefits for older adults. However, sometimes these programmes, despite good intentions, can perpetuate negative stereotypes about ageing and youthful ideas about good life. Have we forgot to ask old people themselves how and why they are (not) active? As our guest explains, ageing is not only a physical and psychological phenomenon, but also a cultural phenomenon. Cultural narratives including ageing-as-decline, successful ageing and active ageing can have significant consequences on how we make meaning of later life. In this episode, we ask critical questions about what is ageing, who is an older person, and what implications different physical activity campaigns for older adults might have. Dr Adam Evans is currently an Associate Professor in Sociology of Sport at the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sport (NEXS) at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is the current director of the Sport, Health and Innovation research group at NEXS, and is Editor in Chief of the European Journal for Sport and Society (www.tandfonline.com/toc/ress20/current). His research interests cohere around understanding the lived experiences of sport, physical activity amongst several groups, including older adults and those with specific health needs, together with work in swimming and aquatic activity.

In this presentation, Regan Archibald discusses the value of regular physical activity as a cornerstone of an active and fulfilling lifestyle. He emphasizes finding forms of movement that are enjoyable and sustainable, sharing personal experiences with mountain biking, skiing, and sprint training. The conversation explores how exercise challenges the body, encourages adaptation, and supports overall performance, while also touching on emerging areas of research related to exercise-related biological pathways, wearable technology, and fitness tracking. The session concludes with a simple seven-day movement challenge, encouraging participants to engage in at least 20 minutes of activity each day and reflect on how consistent exercise influences their energy, motivation, and well-being.RESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

The World Cup is here, and while we watch some of the world's greatest athletes competing on a global stage, it's fascinating to consider what effect this intense activity may have on the human body. With that in mind, we're re-releasing our conversation with Stanford biochemist Jonathan Long on the future of exercise. Jonathan studies the chemistry of what happens inside your body when you move, and his findings are pointing toward some genuinely surprising possibilities — including treatments for obesity, diabetes, and even, someday, an exercise pill. If the athleticism on the pitch has you feeling inspired, this one is well worth another listen. Have a question for Russ? Send it our way in writing or via voice memo, and it might be featured on an upcoming episode. Please introduce yourself, let us know where you're listening from, and share your question.

Can small daily changes really improve health outcomes for people with disabilities? Dr. James Haley believes they can—and he explains how. From setting water bottle goals to using wearable tech, this episode dives into practical strategies backed by science and lived experience. In the final part of this enlightening series, Dr. James Haley joins Dr. Olli Tikkanen to discuss accessible, research-based methods for increasing physical activity in people with disabilities. Dr. Haley emphasizes the importance of small, consistent habits and how mobile health technologies—including wearables and behavior change apps—can help form sustainable routines. He shares simple strategies like smart reminders, social accountability, and goal-setting that anyone can integrate into their daily life. The episode also covers the role of wearable technologies in monitoring movement, heart rate, and sleep, along with their limitations in cost and accessibility. Dr. Haley explores how biomechanical feedback from devices might inform both research and personal activity habits. In addition, he offers a global perspective on funding challenges, collaboration needs, and the value of AI in democratizing support and feedback for people with disabilities. The episode ends with an optimistic message: meaningful change doesn't require perfection—it just requires a step forward, however small. _______________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Collect self-report physical activity data easily and cost-effectively with Mimove. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

Yet we know that it is important to have a balanced amount of physical activity and exercise as a daily routine. (Physiotherapist, Neurological Clinical Specialist) speak about the need and challenges that the elderly face, and some helpful tips in this regard.

Host - Mrs Gila Pereira; Guest Speakers: Dr. Mario Vaz, Fr. Juventius Andrade, C.Ss.R. & Dr. Anuja Chandrana in conversation.We continue this episode, right where we left off the last time. Join our speakers Dr. Mario Vaz and Fr. Juventius Andrade, C.Ss.R. along with our host Mrs. Gila Pereira and our special guest Dr. Anuja Chandrana (Physiotherapist, Neurological Clinical Specialist) as they speak about the need and challenges that the elderly face in particular to physical activity, be it in work or various other activities around the house and some helpful tips in this regard.

What stops people with disabilities from being physically active? In this episode, we discuss real barriers—and real solutions—from lived experiences and research. From neuropathic pain to equipment costs, Dr. James Haley shares what truly matters when designing inclusive activity interventions. In this continuation of the conversation between Dr. James Haley and host Dr. Olli Tikkanen, the focus shifts to the day-to-day challenges that prevent people with disabilities—especially spinal cord injuries—from engaging in physical activity. Dr. Haley outlines individual, environmental, and social barriers, such as fatigue, lack of adapted equipment, inaccessible facilities, and social stigma. Importantly, he also shares insights into what motivates and supports physical activity, including community, co-designed interventions, and creative at-home options. The episode explores how sports like wheelchair basketball foster belonging and motivation, while also addressing global disparities in access to inclusive programs. Dr. Haley also touches on his vision for scaling his work beyond the UK to low- and middle-income countries.

People with disabilities face more barriers to physical activity—but technology is offering new hope. In this episode, we explore one of the world's first exercise apps designed specifically for people with multiple disabilities. Dr. James Haley, a health psychologist from the University of Chichester, joins host Dr. Olli Tikkanen to discuss how co-designed mobile health interventions can support individuals with complex needs. Drawing from his PhD work at Loughborough University, Dr. Haley shares insights into the development and evaluation of the "Accessorize" app—an inclusive tool created during the COVID-19 pandemic to help people with various disabilities become more physically active. In this first part of their conversation, Dr. Haley explains how the app adapts to users with spinal cord injuries, amputations, or achondroplasia, allowing them to customize workouts based on environment, goals, and available equipment. He also discusses the outcomes of usability studies, the behavior change techniques embedded in the app, and the challenges faced in conducting feasibility trials with disabled populations. This episode is a must-listen for researchers, developers, and healthcare professionals interested in digital health, inclusive design, and physical activity promotion for underrepresented groups. ___________________________   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Collect self-report physical activity data easily and cost-effectively with Mimove. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I'm sitting with something that has weighed on so many of us for far too long — the relentless mental noise around food, what I call food chatter, and what it actually takes to quiet it for good. I'm not talking about another meal plan or a new set of rules. I'm talking about what is happening in your brain when the spiral starts, and the two science-backed strategies that peer-reviewed research has proven can interrupt it. We dig into Rumination-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — which sounds clinical but is honestly one of the most practical tools I've come across — and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, which teaches you to watch a thought without obeying it, and why that single skill changes everything around food obsession. I also share a story about my sister that still lives in my heart, talk about what my son and the Game of Thrones soundtrack taught me about dropping resistance, and make the case for why sitting down to eat your meal is one of the most underrated acts of self-respect you can give yourself. This episode is grounded in real research, real life, and the kind of honest conversation I hope feels like a walk with a good friend.Quote of the Week: "True silence isn't the complete absence of thoughts; it is the act of stepping back and watching your thoughts without attaching to them or fighting them. When you stop struggling against your mental chatter, it loses its power over you." - Anonymous Citations:1.    Morillo-Sarto, H., et al. (2023).

Hello & Welcome to the Podcast!In today's episode, I'm joined by Orla O'Doherty @thecliniccoach for a chat about using coaching skills for behaviour change, especially around physical activity in postpartum womenOrla shared her journey, including insights from her masters training in behaviour change and health coaching, explaining key frameworks such as COM-B (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behaviour) and emphasising the importance of helping the people we work with identify their own goals, rather than prescriptively telling them what to do.We discussed practical strategies including goal setting, habit formation, motivation maintenance and the challenge of implementing these in clinical practice.We highlight how coaching skills can liberate the clinician's role from being a fixer to supporting the person's self-efficacy, noting that this approach not only helps the people we are working with, but also reduces frustration for healthcare providers, while making clinical work more effective and sustainable.Some of the topics we covered:Behaviour change in health coachingHealth coaching on Postpartum careEffective goal setting discussionsBehavioural goals in patient careMotivation vs WillpowerPatient resistance in physio strategies Trust, compassion and how to deal with challengesand much more!Orla is doing great work on changing how we can help move from the old model of healthcare professionals acting as mechanics to fix people, but rather empowering them with self efficacy toolboxes - she offers coursework on all of this so make sure you're following her on instagramWant to learn more about a bio psychosocial approach to Perinatal Pelvic Rehab?

If your 80-year-old self was sitting next to you today, what would she wish you had done differently? What do you think would change if you treated your 80 year old self like someone you truly loved and wanted to protect? Can you picture the life you are building for your future self, not just emotionally, but in the way you move, connect, and care for yourself each day? The habits you build today, especially around physical activity and emotional awareness, shape the strength and joy you carry into later life. Small choices, repeated over time, can support better joint health, stronger leg strength, and the kind of resilience that helps you stay engaged in your own life. This episode begins with a simple doctor visit, then it opens into a bigger reflection on intentional aging. We will learn how movement, mindset, and social connection influence the kind of life we carry into older age, and what it really means to support longevity for women in ways that feel practical and personal. Today, we talk about: How visualization can help you make better choices for your future health Why strength training matters for preventing falls, protecting mobility, and supporting independence as you age How emotional fitness helps you handle change, loss, and the mental side of growing older Why grip strength is an important sign of overall vitality and long-term function  If you care about living well for the long run and want real, grounded healthy aging strategies, this episode will leave you thinking differently about the choices you make now, and the life you are shaping for your older self.

I'm delighted to speak with Dr Séamus Harvey and Dr Chin Wei Ong in this week's episode. We discuss a mental well-being screening process which was implemented at an elite youth football academy developed by Séamus, Chin and colleagues. Séamus is a Postdoctoral Researcher with the NetwellCASALA research centre at Dundalk Institute of Technology. Séamus researches digital health and health psychology as well as sport and exercise psychology. Séamus also lectures on Dundalk Institute of Technology's (DkIT's) Health and Physical Activity programme. Séamus completed his MSc. in Applied Sport and Exercise Psychology at Ulster University and a PhD in Sport Psychology at Bangor University. Prior to his PhD, Séamus worked as a Research Assistant with Liverpool John Moores University. Chin is a behavioural scientist and consultant with 15+ years' experience across elite sport, research, and organisational contexts. Chin's work focuses on how individuals and teams perform under pressure, and how organisations can design systems that enable sustainable performance. Chin previously worked across a global network of elite environments, designing systems that integrated performance, talent development, wellbeing, and risk. These are challenges that closely mirror those faced by organisations operating in complex, high-stakes contexts. Chin is particularly interested in helping organisations move beyond measuring talent to truly understanding it; using that insight to build stronger leaders, more effective teams, and resilient performance cultures.

What do LGBTQ+ young people actually experience in PE and sport — and what are they telling us about why they disengage? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Craig Nieman and Dr. Sara Flory from the University of South Florida to discuss their groundbreaking mixed-methods study, "LGBTQ+ Youth Perceptions of Barriers to Physical Activity in Sport," published in Sport Education and Society (March 2026).Rather than relying on adult recollections or teacher perceptions, Nieman and Flory went directly to LGBTQ+ youth themselves — at Camp Rainbow, an inclusive summer camp in a conservatively legislated southeastern state. What they found should reshape how every PE teacher, administrator, and professional organization thinks about their work.In this episode, we cover:How three years of relationship-building made an 87% participation rate possible — and what that model means for researchers working with marginalized communitiesWhy community mapping (drawing safe and unsafe spaces) became an unexpectedly powerful research tool — and almost cathartic for participantsThe two dominant barriers LGBTQ+ youth identified: surveillance and body dysphoria during physical activity, and being stuck in a gender binary that leaves no safe optionThe student who was failing PE — not because of ability, but because they refused to change clothes in a hostile locker roomHow accommodations designed for LGBTQ+ students benefit all students (the curb-cut principle in PE)Small, immediate changes teachers can make right now — starting with the words they useWhat the removal of SHAPE America's transgender inclusion resources signals to teachers on the groundA reminder of the real stakes: one participant in the study linked exclusion from a recreational running group to suicidal ideationGuests:Dr. Craig Nieman, University of South FloridaDr. Sara Flory, University of South FloridaFull CitationNieman, C.

Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD, is an expert in the science of strength and muscle building and nutrition. She explains the most effective resistance and cardiovascular training programs for women and if and how those programs should differ from those followed by men. She explains program design options, exercise selection, sets, repetition ranges, rest periods, if you need to train to failure and much more. We discuss the relevance of menstrual cycles, (peri)menopause, birth control, body frame differences, as well as best practices for nutrition, hormone replacement and supplementation. Throughout the episode Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple dispels common myths about women's fitness and nutrition such as the impact of fasting, cortisol, weight vests and more. This episode provides a masterclass in the best science-supported fitness and nutrition programs for women and for men.
