Episode 37
On average women do carry 6-11% more body fat than men, due to the biological differences. Women are more efficient at storing body fat yet burn more body fat when exercising. Estrogen and testosterone both have a large impact on the ability to burn and redistribute body fat. Thus, in addition to a healthy nutrition plan and training program, optimizing hormonal levels especially as you age, is important for overall body composition.
