Carbs, Cortisol & Creatine: The No-BS Guide to Training Like a Woman with Dr. Briana Botsford, ND

This week, we're calling out the biggest myths in women's fitness and performance nutrition with Dr. Briana Botsford, a naturopathic doctor and Ironman triathlete who’s making evidence-based performance advice approachable.

We get into:

-Why fatigue, hormone issues, and injuries could actually be a fueling problem

-The real deal on fasted workouts, high-sodium electrolyte drinks, and greens powders

-How under-eating even accidentally, can mess with your thyroid, period, and iron levels

-Why carbs are not the enemy (and can literally help you get your period back)

-Whether you should train around your cycle… or not

-Creatine, caffeine, BCAAs: what’s worth it and what’s just hype

Spoiler: You don’t need to quit HIIT, ditch your boyfriend’s creatine, or live off ‘vibes and coffee’ to feel strong, balanced, and well-fueled.
