Listen Later

Are carbs really the enemy? Not if you're an active woman who wants more energy, better workouts, and a stronger, leaner body.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why cutting carbs can actually hold you back — especially if you're training hard in your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. You'll learn how to use carbs strategically to boost performance, recovery, and hormone health, plus how to choose the right kinds for your goals.

💥 This episode covers:

  • Why carbs are essential for active women.
  • How carbs impact strength, recovery, and muscle growth.
  • The best times to eat carbs for performance and energy.
  • Examples of smart pre- and post-workout carb choices.
  • My favorite carbs to fuel my workouts.

Whether you're lifting heavy, training for endurance, or just want to feel energized again — this episode will help you understand how to make carbs work for you, not against you.
