Muscle Expert Podcast with Ben Pakulski #58
USING food as a therapeutic tool and hormone manipulation in sports
Can’t thank Ben Pakulski enough for having me on The Muscle Expert. I'll admit, I was nervous as all when I found out that I was the first female guest - but I think he managed to keep the entire conversation organic and flowing by not telling me we were even recording! Seriously, though - this was such a good podcast, and it was great to catch up, talk shop and educate on some really critical topics. Thanks again Ben!
Key Highlights:
- How to balance fat ratios.
- The menstrual cycle myth and why women should be wary of missing their menstrual cycle.
- Glucose disposal agents, sex hormones, sleep deprivation, post-diet binge eating mitigation strategies.
