Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan, PhD, a top expert in exercise science and women's body composition, joins Gabby Reece to discuss training smarter, not just harder. Learn about the science of creatine, protein, Omega-3s, fueling for performance, preventing injury, and effective resistance training for women at any age.

Dr. Smith-Ryan shares her compelling journey from a young Iowa athlete who found movement as an escape to becoming a dedicated researcher, motivated by her own experience with nine stress fractures due to under-fueling and over-training.
