Episode 286: Exploring Gender Differences in Exercise and Nutrition with Dr. Katie Hirsch
Flex Diet Podcast - A podcast by Dr. Mike T Nelson

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Katie Hirsch, an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina. We delve into the potential differences between how men and women should approach exercise and nutrition. Dr. Hirsch shares her extensive research on protein synthesis, metabolic flexibility, and the effects of hormones on physical performance. We also discuss the practical implications of studies on fasting, keto diets, and creatine supplementation for women. Additionally, Dr. Hirsch offers insight into training adaptations relative to the female menstrual cycle and addresses the unique challenges faced by women during perimenopause and menopause.
