As nutrition practitioners, we know just how important it is to create targeted, personalized nutrition protocols for our clients.
Shouldn’t the same be true, then, for fitness programs?
And, if yes, how?
We recently sat down with Debra Atkinson, a renowned hormone-balancing fitness expert, to discuss the importance of tailoring fitness routines based on individuals’ unique hormonal and metabolic needs. This discussion exposes the stark lack of research focused on women in exercise science – something Debra has observed firsthand – and sheds light on a number of critical topics, including:
– The impact of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus strength training
– Why cutting back can sometimes mean gaining more when it comes to fitness
– The specific challenges women face as they approach menopause
– How factors like stress, nutrition, and rest play critical roles in shaping our fitness journeys
– How to adapt your health strategy to better fit your unique body and life stage
– And, more
