Maximizing Hormones, Physique & Running Through Perimenopause
#89 - Female-Specific Nutrition Quality, Timing & Holistic Stress Management to Thrive
Want better results with less overwhelm? Today we discuss the truth about how to fuel with your changing hormones and female physiology, with innovative nutrient timing and strategies that even the most well-meaning nutritionists, doctors and coaches aren't aware of. Female-specific science matters and today we break it down clearly and concisely for you!
In this episode, Louise, one of the world’s leading experts for perimenopausal women who love to run, gets real about the physiological and hormone shifts that start around age 35 and what actually works to support your body to thrive. You’ll learn why nutrition quality matters, why macro and calorie counting is ineffective at mitigating symptoms and fitness decline, how poor protein choices sabotage results, and the right way to use supplements like amino acids to feel better, look stronger, and build muscle. She unpacks why dietary fat isn’t the enemy, how carbs can work for you, and why stress (including dietary stress!) is likely blocking your progress. This is a masterclass in getting back to basics with female-specific science, empathy, and lived experience guiding the way.
If you’re tired of confusion about when to eat what, B.S. diets, and “one-size-fits-all” advice that doesn’t work for active women over 35, this episode is for you!
