Episode notes
Fuel Enables Tissue Resilience
- Under-fueling and low carbohydrate availability prevent tissues from adapting to exercise stress and increase injury risk.
- Stacy Sims explains you need sufficient calories and carbs so tissues can build resilience and recover from load.
Prioritize Protein And Fiber Daily
- Include protein and fiber at every meal to support aging metabolism and gut microbiome diversity.
- Time carbohydrate around training: quick carbs before exercise and protein plus carbs after for recovery.
Gut Microbiome Shapes Metabolic Tendency
- Metabolic differences often trace to gut microbiome composition inherited from lifestyle and environment.
- Diverse diets promote lean-oriented microbiota that extract less energy and reduce obesogenic risk.
