from Afternoon Snack · host Meredith Root and Alex Parker

Over the last two decades, women’s fitness research has evolved from being an afterthought to a growing field of interest. In this episode, we explore how science is finally catching up with the female body, the double-edged sword of social media, the legacy of early contributors, and what gaps still need to be filled. If you care about evidence-based training, women’s health, and the truth behind the trends, this one’s for you!
