The Best of 2025:: The Female Body!

In this episode of Wellness Big Sis the Pod, Dr. Kelsy Vick breaks down what we learned this year about the female body, metabolism, and exercise science.We revisit the science of fasting for women and why intermittent fasting can impact women differently than men — especially when it comes to hormones, metabolism, and body composition. We also dive into the truth behind Zone 2 cardio, HIIT, and SIT training, debunking myths about cortisol and explaining why high-intensity work still deserves a place in women’s routines.This episode also highlights the importance of jump training for women, why it matters for bone health and long-term resilience, and how just a few minutes per week can make a big difference. Finally, we revisit why strength training really is that girl — and why it’s essential for women’s health at every stage.If you want a science-backed approach to fitness, hormones, and training smarter as a woman, this episode ties it all together.76:: Strength Training https://wellness-big-sis-the-pod.captivate.fm/episode/copy-of-pod-76-strength-training-pod/74:: Jump Training https://wellness-big-sis-the-pod.captivate.fm/episode/74-the-forgotten-essential-in-your-exercise-handbag-jump-training/73:: HIIT & SIT https://wellness-big-sis-the-pod.captivate.fm/episode/73-the-controversial-hiit-sit-conversation-why-both-are-essential-parts-of-our-exercise-routines-as-women/63:: Fasting as women https://wellness-big-sis-the-pod.captivate.fm/episode/63-the-truth-and-science-behind-fasting-as-women/ loving the pod? click the follow button, & we'd love if you could leave a review! thank you x 1000 :)sign up for the free Wellness Girl Chats newsletter!Want a peak into what it is like building this business, the podcast interviews, and all things female founder BTS? sign up for the free Firstborn Daughter Diaryinsta:: @dr.kelsyvickdpt & @wellnessbigsispodyoutube:: @dr.kelsyvickdpttiktok:: @dr.kelsyvickdpt & @wellnessbigsispodsign up for our patreon for exclusive content & workouts!00:00- 00:17 Intro00:18- 00:31 Introduction and Year in Review00:31- 01:03 The Science of Fasting for Women01:04- 04:37 Understanding Metabolism in Women04:38- 11:15 High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for Women11:16- 16:22 The Importance of Jump Training16:23- 19:35 Strength Training: The Popular Girl19:36- 20:37 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
