Sport scientist and exercise physiologist Emily Lundstrom breaks down the the importance of eating to fuel your performance and the negative effects of under fueling.
Dr. Lundstrom brings various research studies to explain the science behind energy deficiency, fueling, and performance.
You might be training harder, eating less… and actually making things worse.
In this episode, we dive into the science behind:
Why under-eating slows your metabolism
The real reason you're not seeing results (even when you're consistent)
Why carbs are NOT the enemy, especially for women
What happens to your hormones and body when you don't fuel properly
Her research shows that women can look "healthy" on the outside—but be metabolically suppressed, leading to worse performance, stalled fat loss, and long-term damage.
