Angela and special guest Eric Edmeades discuss the intricate relationship between diet, exercise, and women's health, particularly during challenging life stages such as perimenopause, and look at the common misconception that exercise is the primary solution for weight loss, emphasising instead the critical role of nutrition in achieving metabolic flexibility. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Nutrition is emphasised as the primary factor in achieving health and body composition, with food being considered more important than exercise For many women, particularly those under stress, intense exercise can lead to the release of stress hormones, which may hinder weight loss efforts Women may benefit more from less structured, community-oriented forms of exercise (like Zumba or Jazzercise) that allow for multitasking and social interaction, rather than high-intensity, focused workouts that can trigger stress responses. The Hadzabe people have unique cultural practices regarding childbirth and menstruation, with significant taboos surrounding male involvement in these experiences. This reflects a broader cultural context that influences women's health and social roles. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [00:01:08] Exercise vs. diet priority. [00:05:03] Perimenopausal women's exercise struggles. [00:07:10] Men's presence at childbirth. [00:10:05] Female circumcision and social conditioning.
