Get a free sample pack on us!This week on Your Diet Sucks, we're digging into one of the most misunderstood—and over-marketed—topics in endurance sports: nutrition for female athletes.You've probably heard the myths: women should eat for their body type, avoid carbs during their cycle, or that we're not just small men when it comes to fueling. But most of that advice isn't based on solid science; it's based on outdated research, rigid stereotypes, and a whole lot of pseudoscience.In this episode, Kylee and Zoë unpack:​Why most sports science has ignored female athletes for decades​How hormonal fluctuations, birth control, and life stage transitions affect fueling​What's actually different about female endurance physiology​The truth about somatotypes (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph) and why they're BS​Evidence-backed nutrition strategies for training, recovery, and long-term health​Why research gaps are still being filled by grifters, and how to stay skepticalWhether you're menstruating, on birth control, pregnant, postpartum, or in perimenopause—or you coach or care about someone who is—this episode is your myth-busting guide to what women really need to fuel their performance.Thanks to Janji for supporting the podcast!

Do you actually know if you're fuelling your body properly?Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is more common than you think — and it's not just about athletes or performance.In this powerful chat with certified mind-body eating coach Florence Gillet, we unpack what RED-S really means, how it silently affects your body, and the mindset shifts that could change your life. This episode is a must-listen. 

In this episode we're diving into all things protein recommendations for women, especially women over 40. The spoiler alert is this: RDAs are not in your best health's interest. In case you've slept through this, check out the latest episode of Dr Gabrielle Lyons with Donald Layman. It's a long hike or two walks to be sure. But in it you'll hear how nutritional guidelines came about. It will make you laugh. We have put so much stock in something that was basically, like, this sounds good or a compromise. And… the recommendations as we well know originally came from the dairy, beef and wheat councils who have government connections. Much of what you've been led to believe about animal protein and saturated fat is false. Much of what you believe about eating cholesterol causing cholesterol is false. But what you haven't heard about protein is also keeping you from optimal health. The only way to know for sure how you're affected is to: measure your body composition and skeletal muscle mass. Measure fat in a percentage and measure muscle in absolute lbs or kg. Log your energy, sleep, and hormone levels. Get the protein support you need with Flipping Fifty's protein powders.

That said, the hope is that it gives you reason to question and challenge the information presented to you or previous beliefs about nutrition, energy, food impact on health and performance. Key Guidelines on Protein Recommendations for Women: Based on the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) for healthy, exercising individuals. Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS): Both resistance exercise and protein intake boost MPS. Consuming protein before or after resistance exercise enhances this effect. Daily Protein Intake: For muscle building and maintenance: 1.4–2.0 grams of protein, per kg body weight, per day (g/kg/d) Example: 130 lb (59 kg) female would need 118 g of protein per day at 2.0 g/kg. For improved body composition (in resistance-trained individuals): 3.0 g/kg/day may help reduce fat mass. Example: 130 lb (59 kg) female would need 177 g of protein per day at 3.0 g/kg. Per-Serving Protein Intake:Recommendations vary by age and exercise routine. Generally, 0.25 g of high-quality protein per kg of body weight, or 20–40 g per serving, is ideal. Leucine Content: Effective protein doses should contain 700–3000 mg of leucine and a full range of essential amino acids (EAAs). Leucine content in proteins: Pea protein: 1.7 g Hydrolyzed beef (Paleo): 2–3 g High proportions of essential amino acids (EAAs) and adequate leucine, are most effective in stimulating MPS. Protein Distribution and Timing: Ideally, protein intake is evenly distributed every 3–4 hours throughout the day. However, the anabolic effect of exercise is long-lasting, at least 24 h. Continuing protein intake throughout this period is beneficial to reduce muscle breakdown Animal vs. Plant Proteins: Animal proteins provide all EAAs at high levels. Most plant proteins need to be combined to meet EAA requirements, except for hemp hearts, quinoa, and (if tolerated) soy products. Carbohydrate and Protein Recommendations for Women Endurance Athletes: Ensure adequate carbohydrate intake to enhance performance. Adding protein can reduce muscle damage and aid recovery. Pre & Post Menopausal Women: Protein Timing: Recent studies on men suggest timing is less important, but menopausal women benefit from more immediate post-exercise protein (40–60 g) to combat anabolic resistance. Carbohydrate Needs: Low Energy Availability (LEA) and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) risks increase when energy intake is too low: Women: ~30–35 calories per kg of fat-free mass (FFM). Men: ~15 calories per kg FFM. Example: With 100 lbs FFM, a woman needs ~340 g of carbs/day. Risks of Low Carbohydrate Intake: Many women consume only 50, 100, or 150 g of carbs, which may lead to not just reduced performance but also endocrine dysfunction and low bone mass. Your Go-To Action Plan on Protein Recommendations for Women in Midlife Assess Current Intake: Track total calories and protein. Pre- and Post-Workout Nutrition: Focus on nutrient intake before and after high-intensity strength and interval training. Evaluate Progress: Monitor weight, body composition (body fat and skeletal muscle). Identify Caloric Needs: Check if you are undereating to maintain weight—especially if it has been ongoing. Prioritize Lean Muscle Gain: Eating more and building muscle may be necessary before metabolism supports fat loss. Protein Strategy for Postmenopausal Women: Aim for 1 g protein per lb of body weight. Distribute evenly at meals, targeting 30 g minimum, with 40+ g at meals and post-exercise. Track Results: Regularly evaluate the impact on body composition and overall health.

I denne episoden snakker Melina og Hanna om noe viktig: Hva skjer i kroppen om man får i seg for lite næring? Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) er en tilstand som oppstår når en har for lav energitilgjengelighet i forhold til kroppens behov. Det vil si at kroppen ikke får nok energi (kalorier) til å dekke både treningsbelastningen og de grunnleggende fysiologiske funksjonene som hormonbalanse, beinhelse og restitusjon. Dette går negativt ut over en rekke funksjoner i kroppen, og det er ikke alltid en er bevisst på dette selv - kanskje spesielt ikke om du er en sporty mama!Take home message: Spis NOK!

欢迎收听跑者日历，本节目由【OUTOPIA品牌】独家冠名赞助播出！OUTOPIA 是一家专注于越野跑的户外服装品牌。OUTOPIA 注重物料开发。透过自然物料于纺织科技，打造最适合越野跑选手和户外爱好者的户外服装。=======================本期节目我们再次邀请到了运动医学硕士在读的王洋（大猫），以及 PB计划 的学员小谢（谢博士）来和大家一起讨论这一针对女运动员才会有的现象。希望通过她们的分享，能让更多的人认识且预防女运动员三联征的发生。如果发生了，也知道如何科学应对。三联征概念1992年美国运动医学会首先提出“女运动员三联征”概念。指女性运动员在能量供应、月经 功能和骨密度三者之间的相互关系、其临床表现为进食障碍、下丘脑功能性闭经、骨质疏松。运动员在健康和疾病之间在有一个较宽的过渡地带，大多数情况下，这三种症状不一定同时 出现，只要有 FAT 的任何一个征象，都应被视为该综合征的潜在风险人群。当每天获取的能量（摄入热量-运动消耗热量）少于30kcal/kg去脂体重时，就会出现由于能量供应低造成的很多负面影响。去脂体重：体重-所有脂肪成分。瘦体重：去脂体重+基本脂肪（大约占体重3%）更新概念：2014 年国际女性运动员三联征联盟申明，FAT是在女性运动人群中观察到涉及下列三个征象中任何一个的医学问题：伴有或不伴有饮食失调的低可用能量、月经紊乱、低骨密度。12014年国际奥委会更新——运动相对能量缺乏（尚存在争议）为了更准确地描述女运动员三联征的临床症状，2014 年国际奥委会引入一个更全面更广泛的术语即运动相对能量缺乏（relative energy deficiency in sport，RED-S）来说明能量利用的负平衡，用运动相对能量不足（RED-S）综合征来代替FAT。2 RED-S 导致的功能受损包括但不限于代谢率、月经功能、骨骼健康、免疫、蛋白质合成和心血管健康等方面[6]。男性运动员RED-S导致的低能量利用、低性腺激素和低骨密度现象同样十分常见，尤其是强调瘦体重为主的项目以及体重级别或耐力性项目，被描述为“男性运动性腺功能减退”（exercise-hypogonadal male condition，EHMC）或男运动员三联征（male athlete triad，MAT）34，但其临床表现没有女性运动员明显而常被忽视。国际奥委会的运动相对能量不足综合征不仅扩大了定义范围，且将两性均包括在内能量利用（EA）：健康成人每天 45 kcal/kg 去脂体重相当于能量平衡，对于从事体育活动的女性，建议每天至少 45 kcal/kg去脂体重的能量摄入以确保身体所有生理功能5。非故意低可用能量摄入常源于缺乏饮食知识，不知日需多少能量能满足生理功能和训练需求，或没意识到随运动水平提高和运动负荷上升而需相应增加能量摄入。长期可用能量降低会引起慢性疲劳，贫血，抑郁焦虑、免疫力降低。可用能量降低伴随的脂肪和糖类物质缺乏会导致激素及代谢异常、不良的 血脂检查结果和内皮功能紊乱，导致心血管疾病风险增加。饮食紊乱通常伴随的生理症状为：闭经、缺水、胃肠问题、低体温症、应力性骨折、体重快速减轻、肌痉挛/肌无力/ 肌疲劳、牙齿/牙龈问题等 。在能量供应不足的情况下，身体启动补偿机制并对能量进行重新分配，将有限的能量供给 分配到对其而言最重要的代谢活动中（如体温调节、细胞修护和移动），而相对不太重要的功能（如生殖功能）则会因能量不足受到影响。月经紊乱低能量利用首先扰乱下丘脑的促性腺激素（GnRH）释放激素的脉冲频率，随之引起垂体黄体生成素（LH）和卵泡刺激素（FSH）释放异常，继而导致卵巢分泌雌激素与孕激素异常，最终表现为月经紊乱。包括排除其他病理原因之后的继发性闭经（月经初潮后连续3个周期或6个月无月经来潮）、月经稀发（周期大于35天）、 无排卵月经、黄体功能失调（黄体期持续时间少于11天或者黄体期孕激素水平较低）等。月经紊乱通常是女性运动员能量危机的首要线索之一。恢复正常月经可能在 EA 改善后仍需一年以上的时间。低骨密度低能量利用和月经失调状态下，骨沉积减少，骨吸收增加，骨矿物质流失增多。如果 FAT 出现 在青少年时期，还将严重影响峰值骨量的形成，而这种影响是不可逆的，其后果便是骨质疏松和应力性骨折的增加。月经紊乱如不进行治疗，将以每年 2%～3%的速度丢失骨量。当出现三联征的一个征象时，应力性骨折发生率为15%～21%，出现2个征象时，骨折发生率为21%～30%，而三个征象同时出现时，应力骨折达29%～50%ACSM将低骨密度定义为Z评分－1.0至2.0间，骨质疏松为Z评分≤－2.0进食障碍伴随的许多心理障碍则需要特殊心理治疗。目前认为，下丘脑功能性闭经引起的骨 量丢失或骨代谢异常是不可逆或不完全可逆的。闭经的出现并不会立即造成骨质疏松症， 但会使骨密度朝着骨矿丢失的方向移动。恢复正常月经周期并不能立即恢复最佳的骨骼健 康状况，但骨矿沉积的增加，有利于改善其骨密度 。进食障碍还常常伴随心理问题如躯体自尊下降，抑郁，焦虑等 。供筛查与诊断的 临床建议实验室检查、心电图检查、骨密度检查（Dexa金标准）在出现明显三联征症状的情况下不建议继续维持当前的运动量及参加比赛低可用能量摄入的改善目标：恢复到月经正常的体重，建议BMI≥18.5 kg/m2月经紊乱改善：建议咨询医生并告知自己有能量摄入不足问题低骨密度改善建议：首要目标恢复正常月经周期，抗阻训练，检查维生素D含量后遵医嘱补充维生素D和钙，尤其是冬天日照不足或室内训练时间长、使用防晒霜的情况下参考文献(1) De Souza, M.

In this episode, Clara recounts her personal struggle with an eating disorder and  Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), a syndrome resulting from insufficient energy intake in athletes. Initially triggered by her perfectionist and over achieving tendencies, Clara struggled with an eating disorder starting in high school. Post college when she started running, she unknowingly developed RED-S symptoms, such as loss of her period, fatigue, irritability, gastrointestinal issues, and proneness to injury. Despite facing dismissive attitudes from several doctors, she finds a wake-up call in a body composition test revealing critically low body fat. Clara discusses the lifestyle changes she made to better manage her condition, which included setting reminders to eat regularly, sneaking in calories, and altering her mindset towards her performance in races. She also shares how managing RED-S has reshaped both her experience and love for running. This interview is the first of many around folks' stories with eating disorders that I will be releasing throughout the month of February. The end of February is Eating Disorders Awareness Week (2/26 - 3/3).

A couple weeks ago, Dr. Eugen Burtscher and Dr. Volker Schöffl (@volkerschoeffl) made headlines when they resigned from their volunteer positions on the IFSC's Medical Commission. Dr. Burtscher served as the Chair of the Commission, and Dr. Schöffl was a Commission member for more than a decade. Following their resignations, a lengthy post on Dr. Schöffl's Instagram page cited repeated “non-action” on the part of the IFSC to “detect, evaluate and help” athletes with disordered eating. “The current politics with regards to RED-S cannot be accepted,” the Instagram post stated, specifically referencing the broad condition of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). In this episode of the CBJ Podcast, Dr. Schöffl provides further background on his resignation, explains more about RED-S and its potential dire consequences, and offers some ideas and directions for possible solutions to the complex topic of disordered eating in climbing. Our host is John Burgman with music by Devin Dabney.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition, I sit down with a leading expert in bone health and female athletes, Dr. Emily Kraus. Dr. Kraus is also the Director of the Stanford Female Athlete Science And Translational Research (FASTR) Program. Together we chat about the basics of bone health and its interplay with the Female Athlete Triad, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) and Low Energy Availability. Nutrition and bone health are closely linked, and Dr. Kraus and I discuss bone-related consequences of underfueling like bone stress injuries, fractures, and missing periods. Dr. Kraus explains the involvement of hormones in RED-S, bone health and injuries. We highlight warning signs of underfueling and imbalanced hormones in all athletes, like missing periods, known as amenorrhea, and reduced libido, as well as the importance of addressing these to maintain bone health and prevent injuries . We touch on supplementation and medical treatments for improving bone health, debunking myths about calcium pills, contraceptives and hormonal therapies.  Dr. Kraus is a world-renowned researcher in the field of athlete health and we discuss her latest project: The Healthy Runner Study. Dr. Kraus shares insights gained about the bone health of high performing female athletes, screening tools and red flags for identifying at-risk individuals, and strategies for preventing injuries and improving performance. We talk nutrition for bone health and healing from RED-S, as well as other potential causes of injury like training errors, biomechanics, and improper equipment. Dr. Kraus and I reflect on personal experiences as underfueled athletes and the negative impacts they had on our health and performance. We finish off with the usual end of the podcast questions and how listeners can find out more about Dr. Emily Kraus and her incredible work.

For most of our lives as women, we hear the word hormones and think of the negative impacts they have on us. It's been drilled into our heads since a young age that women have hormones to deal with; they make us moody; we have to get a period every month; there are negative connotations around hormones and aging through menopause. But what if we flipped this mindset around to recognize the amazing impact hormones can have on our lives once we learn how to truly optimize them?  Dr. Nicky explains how our hormones can be our superpower and they can unlock our greatest potential. We just need to learn how to work with them. Although we've studied the body for years, we're still just scratching the surface of studying the details of the female body specifically.  It's so important that women understand their own bodies. And to achieve optimal health and performance as a woman throughout our reproductive years into menopause, we need to be in tune with our biological rhythm. We deserve female-centric routines that work for our unique bodies to boost our metabolism, maintain our blood sugar, keep our stress hormones in check, and allow our brains to function at their best.  Once we're aware of how to optimize the hormones that regulate our energy, metabolism, and ovulatory cycle, we can truly start to feel amazing in our bodies.  Dr. Nicky Keay is a cutting-edge doctor who's making strides in women's health research. And she's here to share the tips she's discovered through her extensive understanding of the endocrine system. Her newest book shares insight into how to unlock our human potential through our hormones, and the knowledge she offers is something you won't want to miss. So check out this podcast as soon as you can to learn about your body's potential. We as women face so many challenges when it comes to maintaining hormonal balance– from our reproductive years into menopause! So recognizing how to optimize our health and understand our inherent biological rhythm will allow us to achieve– and maintain– our wellness goals.   Dr. Nicky Keay is a doctor, a graduate of Cambridge University, UK., and the author of “Health, Hormones and Human Potential: A Guide to Understanding Your Hormones to Optimise Your Health and Performance”.

Having a good training plan is key to helping you achieve your goals, but it's not everything. Overtraining can happen for a large number of reasons that have nothing to do with your training plan, which is why it is so important, especially for us athletes over 40. If you are concerned about overtraining but not sure if your training plan is to blame, this episode is for you. If You Want to Prevent Over Training, You Should: Make sure that you are fueling appropriately for the level of activity you are doing Learn how to fluctuate your intensity in your training to promote active recovery Dont forget the importance of viewing sleep as a non-negotiable The #1 Problem I See If you want to have a high energy output when it comes to your training, you need to have a high energy input; it is as simple as that. Not fueling properly for the activity level you are engaging in results in an energy mismatch that can have a serious effect on your results. Not eating enough is the biggest problem I see in my clients and community. Undereating for the level of activity you are doing will put you in a state of low energy availability, and it will be impossible or even dangerous for you to push to the level you want in your training. Finding a System That Works The good news is an athlete over 40, you don't need to do less of the things that you love; you just have to be clever about it. Allowing your body to properly and actively rest is another major key to gaining better adaptation through your training.  Fluctuating your intensity to allow for proper rest is the only way that you are going to make progress in a sustainable way. By blending your active recovery with your intensity and learning to listen to what your body is telling you, you can avoid overtraining and get better at the things you love to do. Have you ever considered that your overtraining might have to do with something other than your movement program? Share your thoughts with me in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode Understanding my personal backstory when it comes to overtraining (3:12) The problem with making up your own programming when you don't have enough experience (10:33) One of the biggest issues I see out there in the world that may be impacting your training (15:00) The first thing that you need to do to prevent a state of overtraining (22:14) Why you need to be strict about your sleep and active recovery (29:09) Quotes “I have made all of these mistakes. I have taken the long ass way to figure them out. And luckily for you, I have been able to condense all of that learning, all of the education, from both formal education to the school of hard knocks, and put it in the resources, the podcast, the private podcast, the courses, the coaching that I do.” (7:26) “I'm doing this episode for you because I want you to be able to look outside of just the training plan itself and figure out if you are really overtraining or if there are other things at play.” (10:02) “Your eating has to support your training.” (20:29) “You can do it! You can do it all! You just have got to fluctuate the intensity of those things.” (24:17) “Yes, having a smart training plan matters. But being able to adjust the plan is just as important.” (28:20) Featured on the Show Apply for Strength Nutrition Unlocked Here Find the full show notes here Follow Steph on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Pinterest I'd really love it if you would take 1 min and leave us a rating and review on iTunes!

Nutrition is complicated, even for athletic women over 40. You need to find the sweet spot for your body and the amount of training when it comes to fueling yourself properly. Despite what you may have been told in the past, going for long stretches of time living in a within-day energy deficit can have a massive impact on your training. The good news is that by reframing how you fuel throughout the day, you can avoid these mistakes and take your training and nutrition to the next level. If You Want to Avoid Within-Day Energy Deficits, You Should: Remember that how you spread out the energy you consume throughout the day does matter Be diligent about the ‘last meal effect' and eating low-energy foods Go into your workouts with some fuel on board and refuel within a timely manner afterward Understanding Within-Day Energy Deficiency Avoiding long stretches of time where your body goes without food, especially when it is in a prime state to recover, is a mistake that could be impacting your progress, metabolism, training, energy, and so much more. Adequate energy intake is necessary, especially as a female athlete over 40 who is training hard. While the last thing you need to do is obsess over being perfect, understanding why, how, and when you fuel is a key ingredient in building strength and longevity. Finding The Sweet Spot For You Even if you feel like you ‘eat a lot', it is a complex nuance of timing, types of calories, training, and more that can impact your likelihood of existing in a within-day energy deficit. Experimenting by listening to your body, going into your training with fuel, and refueling in a timely manner afterward will help you avoid a state of low energy availability. Eating regularly throughout the day to support your training and recovery is a necessary key to your training and recovery. Implementing the principles I discuss on today's show will help you move forward with the confidence to do so. Are you ready to fuel, train and recover smarter so that you can use your strength as a catalyst for more? Share your thoughts and experiences with me in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode An unofficial welcome to a new season of the Fuel Your Strength Podcast (1:35) Why you should know about within-day energy deficits if you are an athletic woman (3:15)  Exploring the difference between the different types and quantities of calories (9:27) The problem with fasting and staying in a breakdown state when doing hard shit with your body (18:44) What the research says about the effects of within-day energy deficits (20:32) Things you should remember even if you feel like you are ‘eating a lot' (29:26) Quotes “When it comes to the nuance and the context, those things need to be teased apart. And that's really what we do here on the podcast, to give you the rationale to go into depth, to explain why this stuff matters for us.” (4:24) “Many athletic women just don't have a good enough concept of what ‘enough' energy is.” (9:44) “If you are doing intense training and not refueling until hours afterward, you are continuing to stay in a breakdown state, I don't know how else to tell you that!” (18:38) “I used to do this. I get it. I get the whole situation. This is why I am kind of nudging you to reconsider. Because I know what it is like, and I know how much better things are on the other side.” (26:38) “You are going to train so much better when you are properly fueled and doing it in a timely fashion.” (32:23) Featured on the Show Join Strength Nutrition Unlocked Here Read The Blog Here Within-Day Energy Balance in Mexican Female Soccer (Football) Players Research Article Within-Day Energy Deficiency and Reproductive Function in Female Endurance Athletes Research Article NEDA Website Find the full show notes here Follow Steph on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Pinterest I'd really love it if you would take 1 min and leave us a rating and review on iTunes!

In general, we have an oversimplified understanding of our energy intake and our energy expenditure. Only thinking about calories in and calories out does not assess your daily energy needs from a complete point of view. There are many nuances that go into the energy balance discussion for athletic women, and this episode is the place to start. If You Want to Understand Your Daily Energy Expenditure Better, You Should: Remember that energy balance is a more nuanced concept than just saying calories in and calories out Pay attention to your protein energy and non-protein energy rather than your total calorie intake Work to understand your total energy expenditure from a complete daily point of view Where Women Athletes Go Wrong Often times athletic women get into trouble by trying to match a low daily energy calorie intake with a high energy output of training. This approach to fueling is where athletic women tend to go wrong and see negative outcomes.  Your metabolism and your energy consumption need to work together in order to find the energy balance that is right for you and your training. Understanding how your energy is influenced when you are at rest when you are breaking down your food, and when you are engaging in non-exercise and exercise activity is the key to getting into balance and moving past oversimplification. The 4 Pieces of Total Daily Energy Expenditure There are four key pieces that affect your total daily energy expenditure. How your body processes energy during these four phases is the key to being in energy balance and avoiding an energy deficit. Your resting energy expenditure, the thermic effect of food, your non-exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT, and your exercise activity thermogenesis, or purposeful activity, all play a role in how your metabolism works together with your body.  Maintaining an appropriate energy balance is the only way to see the improvements you are looking for in a sustainable and healthy way. Do you feel as though your energy is in balance? Share your thoughts with me in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode The problem with applying basic principles of thermodynamics for athletic women (5:58) Understanding the difference between energy intake and calories (9:59) Which numbers are the most important to pay attention to as a female athlete (16:02) How your total daily energy expenditure is impacting your metabolism (19:45) Why you need to stop listening to the mindset of eating less and moving more (27:27) Quotes “Of course, you are a biological system, and when we strip biological models of all of their complexity and nuance and strip them down to pithy one-liners like ‘eat less move more,' this simplicity at best can lead you astray as an athletic person, and even at worst, do some harm to your health and wellbeing.” (9:03) “Saying a calorie is a calorie is like saying an inch is an inch or a pound is a pound. It quantifies things, but it doesn't qualify things.” (11:29) “It is important to understand how metabolism and energy balance and so on work together, specifically when we are talking about why building muscle is so freaking important, and how does that affect our basal metabolic rate.” (20:44) “I am not here to teach you intentional fat loss. What I am here to highlight is some of the ways we go astray in our thinking.” (22:01) “I think it is important for you to understand how some of these factors are going to affect your training and why my primary goal here is to get you to understand that eating enough food is so incredibly important to your training and your health and well-being.” (30:42) Featured on the Show Join Strength Nutrition Unlocked Here Find the full show notes here Follow Steph on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Pinterest I'd really love it if you would take 1 min and leave us a rating and review on iTunes!

Last time Nicky was on the podcast, we discussed in depth the issue of relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) for both males and females. This time around we take a step back and talk about the role of hormones in health (how they underlie all physiology), how hormones change across the lifecycle, the risks associated with cardiovascular disease for women and how hormones play a major role in that, the diurnal rhythm of hormones and how this impacts on what we might learn from blood tests, and how the environment and our health behaviours can both enhance hormone function or work against it, and just testing hormones themselves may not give us a complete picture.Nicky Keay is a medical doctor with expertise in the field of exercise endocrinology. Graduating from Cambridge University, she is an Honorary Clinical Lecturer in the Division of Medicine, University College London. Nicky's clinical and research endocrine work is particularly with exercisers, dancers and athletes, with a focus on relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) and with women experiencing perimenopause and menopause.Nicky's website: https://nickykeayfitness.com/about/Nicky's new book: Hormones, Health and Human Potential can be found at https://nickykeayfitness.com/new-book/Nicky's previous Mikkipedia episode on Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) https://share.transistor.fm/s/33bba7b1Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all NuZest Products with the code MIKKI20 at www.nuzest.co.nzSave 30% on Hoka One One with the code TEAMMIKKI at www.Hoka.co.nz

Good nutrition is essential for optimal health, performance and quality of life. Unfortunately, the standard American diet is deficient in many essential nutrients, and at the same time is loaded with toxic ingredients known to cause serious health problems. Making matters worse, doctors rarely test for nutrient deficiencies, which are often at the root of their patients' complaints. The end result is a population marked by difficulties attaining or maintaining a state of good health and optimal performance. Today we're rounding out our Health Fundamentals Series with a fourth instalment, this time on the topic of nutrition. NBT coaches Megan Hall and Zach Moore discuss why what you eat deserves your time and attention, and the best practical strategies to ensure you're getting the nutrition you need from your diet. They talk about the best foods to consume, how many meals to eat and the best time of the day to eat them, and how to avoid the most common nutritional deficiencies. They also discuss the best way to get started so you don't get overwhelmed and quit before seeing the benefits of a good diet.

Heading into the Olympics in February, Jessie Diggins received more media attention than ever before, landing on the cover of Sports Illustrated and having her profile featured on major news outlets like the New York Times. There was an entire category for her career highlights on the Olympic cross country ski tab on NBC's Peacock streaming platform. From all of the coverage focused on Diggins surrounding the Games, one comment in particular received attention and push back from the athlete community. The line in a February 8th story in the NY Times suggested that Diggins looked “like a sprite in her racing suit,” comparing her body to her competitors' who had “massive shoulders and thighs.” It was seen as inaccurate, inappropriate, and potentially harmful to those reading it. To discuss the topic of body comments in sports journalism and why they might be harmful in the broader scope of athlete mental health, the Nordic Nation podcast recently hosted a discussion among the panel of Rosie Brennan, Corrine Malcolm, Brian Metzler, and Nat Herz, who span the breadth of athlete and media representative. Following the conversation, FasterSkier received feedback that the topic had already been given enough attention, and it remained clear that there was not unanimous understanding of why commenting on athletes' bodies was deemed problematic. Seeking to add clarity to this side of the story, along with her own perspective as someone who has experienced an eating disorder and since become an advocate for awareness and support in that realm, Diggins reached out to FasterSkier asking to add her voice to the conversation. To be clear, neither Diggins nor FasterSkier aims to “cancel” NY Times author Matthew Futterman, nor to attack the NY Times for running the comment. The purpose of this discussion was to consider how a comment on an athlete's body might be triggering to a reader who is primed to fall into the eating disorder trap, and how writers, parents, coaches, and teachers can be mindful of the impact and importance of what they say. Diggins also reflects on the 2021/2022 race season and what was an historic string of Olympic appearances. She discusses the success of the US Ski Team as a whole, in particular, the younger generation of athletes like Novie McCabe, Sophia Laukli, Ben Ogden, JC Schoonmaker, and Gus Schumacher, who have transitioned onto the World Cup over the last two seasons and earned spots on the 2022 Olympic Team.  Thanks for listening.Additional Resources and Related Reading & Listening:WithAll Foundation and the What to Say Campaign.
