Exploring Health: Macro to Micro with Parker Condit

Can intermittent fasting be detrimental to active women, particularly those in their late 30s and beyond? In this episode of Exploring Health Macro to Micro, we unpack the intricacies of intermittent fasting and its specific impacts on women with the insightful Danielle Pelicano. We dissect various fasting protocols like the 16-8 method and debunk some common misconceptions. Through recent studies, including one from Johns Hopkins, we discuss how the benefits of intermittent fasting might actually be more about caloric restriction. Danielle sheds light on the potential pitfalls for women who are active, stressing the necessity of proper nutrition and consistent fueling to maintain muscle mass and overall health.
Join us as we navigate the best strategies for fueling exercise and achieving weight loss, emphasizing the importance of listening to your body's needs over trending diets. We discuss pre- and post-workout nutrition, the role of simple carbs and protein, and why exercise shouldn't be solely about shedding pounds. Discover how walking can be a highly effective weight management strategy, supported by research on daily steps. We also share practical advice on integrating physical activity into your everyday routine and insights from Dr. Stacey Sims on how female endurance athletes should fuel their bodies.
