Angela and special guest, Nate Palmer, explore topics such as carb backloading, post-exercise refueling, and the importance of weight training for women's health. They also share insights on how to improve Lumen scores and the impact of factors like hydration and meal timing on metabolic flexibility.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Refueling post-exercise by consuming carbohydrates at the end of the day can optimise the body's natural storage and use of glycogen for energy rather than fat stores.

• Avoiding high-intensity interval-style workouts, especially for women in their 40s and beyond, can be beneficial for hormonal function, bone density, and overall health.

• Incorporating protein and carbs post-workout, especially after glycogen-depleting workouts, can aid in recovery and energy levels.

• Eating earlier in the night, staying hydrated, and avoiding late-night meals can help improve Lumen scores and shift the body into fat-burning mode

BEST MOMENTS

"You're optimising for your body's natural storage and you're using that glycogen for energy rather than for fat stores."

"I think women associate it's workout equals bootcamp. I think we need to start breaking that stigma because I think for a lot of women, especially as we enter menopause and are getting a little bit older, it becomes very important to work on the weight training workouts." 

"Weight training is something where women in particular really need to focus. And I think a bit of plyo to help with bone density but not as much as people think."

"I've always thought that you have like an hour, 60-minute window after your workout that if you don't drink a protein shake, all of your gains are going to shrivel up and die."
