In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, a muscle physiology researcher, science communicator, and co-owner of MASS Research Review. She's one of the experts actually doing the research, and she's here to break down the fitness noise and help you make sense of it.We get into cycle syncing myths, creatine hype for brain health, collagen for skin, hair, and nails, inflammation, and the weighted vest walking trend that seems to be everywhere. Lauren helps us understand what the science really says, and how much of what's sold to women online is just marketing dressed up with big words.This conversation will clear the air and remind you that the basics still win. We talk about the frustration and confusion women face in the fitness space, how marketing distorts research, and why consistency (not complexity) is the foundation of results.“If it sounds too good to be true, it is… so we need to think critically about the messages that we come across online.”- Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple“There are a whole lot of red flags when you see a program that is constantly encouraging you to change how you're exercising.”- Dr. Lauren Colenso-SempleThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why researchers historically avoided studying women, and how that's changingThe truth about hormones, strength training, and menstrual cyclesThe cycle syncing myth and why it's not backed by meaningful scienceCollagen for joints, skin, and hair, and what the data actually showsCreatine: useful tool or overhyped brain-booster?What inflammation really is, and what it isn'tWeighted vest walking: scientifically interesting, or practically irrelevant?How supplement use can become a false sense of accomplishment (and why it matters)Connect with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple:Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple on InstagramDr. Lauren Colenso-Semple WebsiteFront Page Fitness Podcast on SpotifyFront Page Fitness Podcast on Apple PodcastsFront Page Fitness Podcast on YouTubeMASS Research ReviewThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

TNVR isn't just about controlling populations; it's about preserving a legacy.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and the Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants. In this compelling episode of the Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron speaks with Lara Semple, field team member of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's “Saving Wildcats” project. Based at the Highland Wildlife Park, this initiative is leading the charge in restoring the critically endangered European wildcat to the Scottish Highlands. Lara shares her lifelong passion for feline welfare, tracing her journey from growing up in a boarding cattery to spearheading cutting-edge conservation work. She dives into the complexities of hybridization between wild and domestic cats, the challenges of reintroducing a species on the brink of extinction, and how their team uses GPS collars, soft-release techniques, and intensive field monitoring to give wildcats a fighting chance. Listeners will also learn how TNVR (Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return) practices are strategically used to prevent genetic dilution from domestic cats, a major threat to wildcat survival. Lara explains the licensing hurdles, community outreach, and behavioral assessments involved in identifying and managing feral cat populations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in conservation, community cat management, and the delicate dance of coexistence between humans and wildlife.

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.

Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher talk with Lauren Colenso-Semple about the science of female muscle physiology and how hormonal fluctuations impact strength training. They explore the misconceptions around women's hormones, the underrepresentation of women in research, and whether training recommendations should differ between men and women. Lauren breaks down the truth about menstrual cycles, menopause, and testosterone, explaining why cycle-based training plans are misleading and how women can train effectively at any stage of life. Lauren Colenso-Semple is a scientist and science communicator who specializes in female muscle physiology. Her extensive research is primarily focused on how hormonal fluctuations—whether from the menstrual cycle or hormonal contraceptives—affect performance and exercise adaptations. Lauren explains the key hormonal factors at play, how they change throughout a woman's life, and why these differences matter in strength training. The truth about menopause and muscle health—Menopause is just a moment in time, marking the last menstrual cycle after 12 months of no period. Lauren breaks down the historical misconceptions around hormones and strength training, revealing how outdated beliefs have shaped fitness advice for women—and why it's time to rethink them. How much does testosterone matter for muscle growth? While it's essential for initial muscle development during puberty, Lauren reveals it's not the sole determinant of how much muscle a woman can gain through strength training. Why are women underrepresented in strength training research? According to Lauren, researchers have historically avoided studying female athletes due to the complexity of tracking hormonal cycles, leading to a lack of high-quality data. Lauren and Dr. Fisher uncover why men are naturally better at gaining muscle than women. Should training recommendations for women be different from men's? Lauren argues that to truly understand sex-based differences in training, we need better research methods that account for women's physiology without overcomplicating programming. Lauren reveals that the menstrual cycle isn't always 28 days—and that's normal. Despite the common textbook diagram, cycle lengths can vary between 21 and 37 days, and hormone patterns are rarely identical from month to month. Amy and Lauren explore whether women should avoid strength training during certain cycle phases. Research shows no significant differences in muscle-building potential across the cycle, meaning women don't need to skip or modify workouts based on hormone fluctuations alone. Some personal trainers still tell women to avoid strength training at certain times, but Lauren warns that this kind of advice disrupts consistency, misleads clients, and isn't backed by science. Lauren explains how trying to match workouts to hormonal phases adds unnecessary complexity and ignores fundamental principles of progression and consistency. Strength training should be done consistently throughout the cycle, with no need for major adjustments unless personal symptoms—such as fatigue or cramps—warrant modifications. Lauren and Dr. Fisher caution against overcomplicating strength training, pointing out that fitness trainers often do this to sell programs rather than to help women train effectively. Why strength training is critical as you age—After your 30s, muscle mass and strength naturally decline, but lifting weights can slow or even reverse this process, keeping you strong and independent. One of the most powerful benefits of strength training is its ability to reshape not just your body but also your confidence, longevity, and overall health. Lauren shares stories of women who struggled with fitness for years, jumping from cardio to group classes to online programs—until they found strength training and finally saw lasting results. The empowering effect of getting stronger. Amy and Lauren discuss strength training during pregnancy. They share how, with proper guidance, lifting weights can be safe and beneficial for both mom and baby, helping with strength, mobility, and postpartum recovery. Why male coaches need to engage in this conversation—Dr. Fisher stresses that understanding female physiology isn't optional for trainers, and even a basic knowledge of hormone cycles can help them coach women more effectively. Dr. Fisher's message to personal trainers and coaches: cycles are a big part of a woman's life and a big part of a woman's training. The least you can do is understand how to train them during these phases.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

We also single in on the menstrual cycle, specifically how fluctuations in hormones influence the adaptive response. Enjoy. Follow Lauren (and MASS):https://www.instagram.com/laurencs1/https://www.instagram.com/massresearchreview/Follow Kanch:https://www.instagram.com/coachkanch.barbella/Sign up for our coaching mentorship group -- our next call is 5/24 at 12 pm EDT!https://coachlogik-mentorship.mn.coSubscribe to my Patreon to support the show!!!Philosophical Weightlifting | Creating Weightlifting podcasts and sharing knowledge.Follow me and get coaching:https://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/Weightlifting House:https://www.weightliftinghouse.com/ code PHILWL for 10% offOnyx:https://www.onyxstraps.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% offhttps://www.instagram.com/onyx_straps/Virus:https://virusintl.com code PHILWL for 10% offEarth Fed Muscle:https://www.earthfedmuscle.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% off

In this episode of the Lifting Lindsay podcast, guest Lauren Colnso-Semple discusses her research on how menstrual cycles and oral contraceptives affect women's muscle protein synthesis in response to resistance training. The conversation spans topics such as the effectiveness of programming workouts around menstrual cycles for optimizing muscle growth, strength, and fat loss, the impact of hormonal birth control on exercise adaptation, and the importance of individual variation in training volume and recovery needs. Lauren, holding a PhD from McMaster University and a Master's in exercise science, shares insights from her studies and experience, addressing misconceptions about training during different phases of the menstrual cycle and the overall impact of sex-based differences in training outcomes.Topics:00:08 Introducing Lauren Colnso-Semple01:11 What did you learn about oral contraceptives?07:24 How this affects perimenopause or premenopause11:29 When do women see a lowering of strength?19:01 How difficult is it to track and monitor hormonal changes in women?28:05 Learning to listen to experts32:45 What are your thoughts on volume for hypertrophy in women?41:57 How do rest times compare for men vs women?

Today on the podcast, we welcome Tim Semple, drummer from Boilermaker. Boilermaker was a band from the San Diego area and was on a few labels, including our friends Better Looking Records, who had a CD compilation called Leucadia that has been taking on a life of its own over the years. As the constant feeding frenzy for what's not streaming, Boilermaker had a few things not up as they say, and Numero Group stepped in to help get them in the ears of those searching.  One person in Boilermaker hasn't been able to see this rebirth. Terrin Durfey, who played bass and sang in Boilermaker, passed away from cancer in 2008. Tim speaks about hearing Terrin live and the weird crew of people they connected with within their short time together as a band.  A must listen.  Learn more about your ad choices.

To end our chapter on the pre-European period of Aotearoa's history I asked for your questions and you delivered! You guys sent in so many/I spoke too much that I had to split the episode into 5 parts.I messed up the audio a little bit in these episodes and it was gonna be a huge hassle to fix it so I've decided to leave it as is. It's not awful, just not as good as I'd like so apologies for that!Questions covered in the episode are:When can we crowdsource for a new Semple tank?Can you please talk about your tech setup?I was wondering why you refer to HANZ as 'we' in the outro when the podcast is just you?If you could actually witness any historical event that occurred in NZ or even worldwide, what would it be and would you get involved?Check out the website and shownotes!Become a Patron!Buy some merch!
