Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Alyssa Parten to talk about Resistance Training, Fat Oxidation, and Female Physiology. Dr. Alyssa is a clinical assistant professor at the University of Alabama whose research centers on resistance training and female performance.

We dive into her dissertation on fat oxidation, what resistance training really does for women’s health, and how the menstrual cycle impacts training. We also cover her personal journey in powerlifting, postpartum training, and why she’s passionate about bridging research with real-world application.

If you’re a female looking to understand how training, hormones, and nutrition fit together, this episode is a must listen!
