INSIGHT

Women Are Not Small Men

  • Women are biologically different from men across muscle, heart, and fueling, not just smaller versions of men.
  • These sex differences start at birth and affect training and nutrition responses throughout life.
ADVICE

Make Resistance Training A Lifelong Habit

  • Prioritise resistance training across the lifespan to maintain metabolic health, bone density, balance and independence with aging.
  • Make strength work a core habit to reduce risks such as diabetes and falls later in life.
ADVICE

Restore Energy To Protect Fertility

  • Avoid chronic low energy availability; eat enough to match training or the hypothalamus will down‑regulate reproductive function.
  • If fertility is an issue, increase calories and protein and reduce chronic catabolic stress to restore ovulation.
