43 Sugar is NOT the enemy

from Body by Design · host Lou Driver

You're putting in the work, but your body response isn't reflecting the effort, especially when it comes to managing carbohydrates. There's a common belief that sugar is the enemy, leading many women over 40 to eliminate it entirely, only to find their training performance and muscle growth plateau. This isn't a personal failing, but a strategy gap in understanding how your body truly utilises fuel. Blanket elimination strategies often overlook the nuanced role of specific macronutrients in supporting intense training and hormonal balance during perimenopause. What if the very thing you're cutting out is essential for unlocking a better return on your effort? It’s time to stop guessing and understand what your body is telling you about its energy needs. Tune in to discover the precise calibration your body needs to thrive, and how to interpret its signals for optimal performance.
